Hi jshome, I'm very interested in vinyl flooring as well given that it seems to mimic wood quite well and maintenance is fuss free.

But i'm a little paranoid about the safety of vinyl flooring material.Vinyl is made from petrochemicals after all.Did the supplier provide any factsheet about chemical content and outgassing percentage? Hope to find some reliable information or at least a responsible supplier as it is the only factor deterring me from vinyl, and the internet is quite misleading sometimes.

Thanks.

I like this door too. The door seems to float in the air with the invisible hinges.

My door to my mbr is this type. Very very nice and flush in to my tv feature wall.

Wow... nice! I like this type of door, the best is the 180 degree turn type. I suggested that for our main door, but nobody buy into my idea. :bangwall:

for main door, it might not work cos i don't think you are allowed to open out for main door? unless you have recess area....

Your concern is definitely valid, after your posting, I quickly went back to check the brochure for the flooring that I'm using.

Out of all the features, 2 of them states "Environmental Friendly" - produced using virgin vinyl as well as recyclable material and "E1" - very low formaldehyde emission, it has been certified under the test standard of EN717-1 for determination of formaldehyde content. And behind the fact sheets, it shows all sort of testing result done. So I guess this one should be quite safe.

If you are getting other type of vinyl, then make sure you get the fact sheet as well.

Wow... like hotel entrance... "like" "like" "link"

I do have recess area, so 180 degree door should be able to work, but my SO say no to it leh.. :(

I'm thinking of installing digital lock for both the main door and gate, is it unusual??

Most people i read in the forum just install on the main door, but that means still need to carry key to open gate right?? I need to explore that further. Any suggestion?

Wow... 11 doors???? My house includes main door, bedroom, toilets and storeroom, only have 7 doors.

Just do 1 door loh, I'm thinking of doing my children's room door, some fun for them since I'm not renovating their room. But have to see if budget allows too!

reason why main door can install digital lock is because gate cannot install digital lock.

1) the lock doesn't fit gate

2) gate have holes so can fiddle and open the digital lock

So those that want digital lock have to use number padlock to open the gate. or like me, don't have gate! :sport-smiley-018:

for children for doors that goes 180 degrees, its a bit dangerous lah... when they run, they will push the door. then they cannot see who is at the other side of the door then when they push, might knock someone down.

i have a 180 degrees door for my MBR and 360 degree door for my WIW. :sport-smiley-004:
