Bay Window

[limtan 0]

Hi,

Would like to hear from those who have either install solid surface on their bay window or laminated wood or solid wood.

Please share with me your thots. I couldn't decide on the choice.

Wood supplier told me solid surface is cold and after a nite's aircon, it will be too cold for our buttocks.

Solid surface supplier told me laminated wood will pop out after under too much sun. (But I have only one small section with morning sun.)

Thanks!

Laminate is fine; just make sure that it is in one piece for the area.

Nicer to sit on, more variety to allow matching with the carpentry of the area, cheaper don't waste money ...

All our 4 bedrooms are facing the sun almost all day (from 11am-7pm) and all of them have baywindows. We covered them with laminate 4 years ago, but not in one piece cos some of baywindows are 4m lenght - non of them didn't pop up! Our laminates are not good quality cos very soon after the installation they had scratches so 2 years ago on part of them in three rooms we put cushions for lay down (to be like 'reading corner'), when other parts are in use for decoration items or (in kids rooms) low shelves. Even once we had issue with cracked wall when rainwater came under the laminates but nothing happened to them.

As well, 2 years ago we installed window solar films everywhere - more for blocking the sun heat, than for protection of furniture.

So, by my experience, I will go for laminates definitely. Solid surface is maybe easier to maintain (do not scratch so easy), but it is very cold to sit on it.

Easier way will be to choose one u will like urself... As for cold buttocks or too much sun, these are all secondary worries where they can be rectified easily. Once the item is installed, changing it will be costly n tedious.

Hi.. I got a suggestion, my sister's flat tried vinyl planks. it looks like wood. similar to laminates using a locking system. but its hardy & waterproof. does not warp or pop out & not cold to touch. think you can contact them through their facebook. http://www.facebook.com/GalaxyFlooring.SG
