Laminate Flooring Help!

[reena8282 1]

Hi,

I currently have vinyl tiles in my house. More than 20 years already so it really needs to be changed.

My family does not want to splurge too much on flooring since we may not be staying for more than 10 years in this flat. Hence I felt laminated flooringwas quite a good option but I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me answer.

Will my vinyl tiles require hacking or can it simply overlay? We dont want to move out just because of the flooring. Also, do most of you engage a contractor to do it for you? I know the brands have their individual websites..

Finally any one with prior experience with laminate flooring who wishes to share his conactor or quote would be great.

Hope to get some response!

Hi there...yes, I have many experiences with laminate flooring...It's a great product and I prefer it to tiles..but there are plenty of unethical people who ruin the image of laminate flooring in singapore. I highly recommedn INOVAR FLOOR...it's the best by far. they are direct manufacturer and they have an office in tagore...the number is: 63584025. Dont go thru contractors..you can save that part by going direct. It can be installed right on top of yr existing floor...quick and easy...hassle free. Hope it helps

Hi Reena,
It really depands on how your family uses and maintain the floor.
If you are the type that wash or does heavy wet mopping, do not go for laminate floor.
However, if you should want to use laminate. Use a good reputable one with proper certifications by independent co.
Many co just "say" they are good. How good...???

But on general, Its all depands on your budget. Pay QQ, don't expect a Volvo.
Need more info, let me knw.
Zip.

if i may ask, what would be a reasonable price for laminate flooring including removal & disposal of old laminate & installation? i may consider replacing my room laminate floor after the reno as everything else will be new save the floor.....

i think you should try consider other kind of engineered wood flooring since you have already tried laminate flooring..

[sherwinsm 1]

actually when you buy from the supplier. they will install it for you for free including all skirting.

No they r not the same. Engineered wood is more expensive.
