mach 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 I understand that there will be some "wastage" when installing laminate flooring. ie. if the total floor area to be fitted with laminate is 500 sq ft, the actual amount needed is going to be more than 500 sq ft. What would be a reasonable estimate of the total cost of installation (including wastage)? I mean, do we take the floor area, multiply by the price per sq ft (say $ 4.5 psf) and then multiply by another factor? My ID quoted me a price for each of the bedrooms, but I suspect that it is a little too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Anything 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Got one ID quote me approximately $5/sqft for supereme AC5 laminate flooring... Another quote me approximately $4.6/sqft, but the type of flooring was not stated (I suspect is AC3 laminate) Another quote me approximately $4/sqft for Pergo flooring (AC3) Most of them like agar agar the cost. Never really see them calculate the actual area of my floorplan... The costing above is based on the overall price they give me divided by my own calculation of my desired floor area. Hope this helps. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan26 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 I'm using pergo (family) now. After using for 1 year, i find that most of the laminate in my house is ok, some laminate portion in my living room (joint) is starting to warp up. The skirting & laminate part near my MBR toilet is warping too. I ask pergo ppl to come down and check it b4. They insist that it is not cover under warranty. Paid $80 to change just a few cm piece of skirting. **** ex. If you are think abt pergo, think twice. It may sound branded but might not be as good as it sounds. U might as well pay for AC15 of supreme at the price of pergo(family). If you dunno where to get such price, PM me for the address. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. =) Thanks. I have quotations from 2 IDs so far for my HDB 4-rm resale flat. One proposed their standard packages plus additional quotes on the carpentry and stuff. Since the laminate flooring was part of the package, I have no way of knowing the price and I am not inclined to take up the standard packages. The other quoted me: To supply material/ labours to overlay laminate flooring c/w skirting: $1300 (for master bedroom), $1200 (bedroom 2), $1200 (bedroom 3). This seems very high when I try to divide the cost over the floor area which I try to calculate myself based on the floor plan. Even if my estimation is a bit off, how big can HDB bedrooms be?! I am thinking of the option of getting the laminate flooring elsewhere on my own, but wanted to be sure that there are no other "hidden costs" when I read about the $4-5 psf average price being shared in the forums.

Mr Anything 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 I think you can go straight to the laminates' dealers... Seems like quite a number of ppl are doing, an ID even recommended that i do it to save a bit.... You probably can get an okay price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YNWA, El Nino hehe thanks. my rate was promo rate. btw, were you looking for Robina too and was quoted $4.30? I'm using pergo (family) now. After using for 1 year, i find that most of the laminate in my house is ok, some laminate portion in my living room (joint) is starting to warp up.

U might as well pay for AC15 of supreme at the price of pergo(family). If you dunno where to get such price, PM me for the address. AC15? new standard? i would like to clarify one thing.. AC3, AC4 or AC5 is just for toughness. My Robina is AC4, I'm very happy with it, no scratches so far. But I feel that the main thing is water resistance. If your laminate is very scratch resistant but not water resistant, it won't last long. I have soaked my laminate (loose piece, obtained from the box of 8 which were used to lay my flooring so there's no chance of tampering) for 2 days and don't notice any difference. This is imho, the best. Now I have a lobang for Robina laminates at 3.80psf (without GST) and Pergo Family at 3.99psf (without GST) Interested please PM me, there's also free "manicure and pedicure for 2 persons" upon deposit Edited February 9, 2010 by ossify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YNWA, El Nino yes 3.80psf nett (no GST at all, at least for now) with installation and skirting standard warranty it's 15 years, but like i said before, if water penetrate within 15 years, it's not covered. and that's the main problem! power dekor and supreme are not water resistant. how much is classen? i have not seen a review on this brand yet. based on my search, i think classen's price should be similar to pergo Edited February 10, 2010 by ossify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheong_Anthony 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 There are actually 2 company who sell pergo family in singapore now. 1st - Floorrich global pte ltd. 2rd - Floor Option Let me explain the skirting why is there no warrenty, the reason is all laminate floor and skirting is in 2 different material. Laminate flooring come with water resistant and skirting come with it as well but not as strong as flooring. 100% warrenty is not cover for skirting. I can say that among all the AC3 quality laminate floor, Robina is 1 of the best choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
