yokine9a 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 I think Supreme is asking $3.50psf for its AC3. $3.20psf looks good... just need to make sure the floorboards are really made in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not too sure if it is made in Europe or not but hopefully it will be of a better quality than the unbranded china ones. Considering those from Berry now.

twirl00 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 hi there, if u havnt do laminated flooring, i would suggest u to use homo tiles rather than laminated flooring. i reali regret doing laminated flooring, mainly becos the maintenance is troublesome (must keep floor very dry, cannot let water has chance to go in else will pop up, sometimes laminates will oso pop up due to expansion/contraction of temperature)... ;( called supreme on these after i stayed in ard 2 months...called few times, their svc is quite ok, but reali troublesome & waste time in follow up on all these... if i have the choice, i will remove all laminated flooring and change to homo tiles...

yokine9a 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 $3.43 for a swiss brand is good... what brand is it? rendell, laminates are not waterproof. Have been staying in my current place for coming to a year, no problem with my laminated flooring... I am using Supreme brand... Maintenance wise, I find it easier than homo tiles... just sweep & mop... unlike my kitchen homo tiles, the grout lines turned into grey color after a few mths. I spent 1 hr brushing the grout lines using toothbrush just before CNY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
