big orange 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 <quote>I am quote 4.20psf for their AC5 hard wood grade. (haven't filter in GST). He run a package for me as in 4.2psf for 3 rooms (147Sqf). IF exceed, it will be free. Does your 4.3 include GST already? Who your sale pax? Cheap or not? What to look out for? it seem they have a few AC5 model too.</quote> $4.30 exclude GST leh Wah, $4.20 is very attractive. Maybe I was doing 2 bedrooms only, so the sales guy refused to cut down further. But I saw him quoting a couple at $4.80 for their 5-room flat during the exhibition. What to look for will depend on what colour and design you want. All AC5 are of the same material and thickness. The sales guy told me many young couples go for African Black. I prefer something lighter and with curve lines pattern, so I chose California Oak. <quote>kind to englight why i should go for a more expensive one with only 15 years warranty? So far i only know krono and supreme...</quote> If you choose Pergo, you are going for the quality brand. Just like you choose Prada for its name From what I know, Pergo is a famous brand with long history in making laminate flooring. If the price between its Msian made product and other Msian made product are not much diff, then I think you should consider Pergo. IMHO, 15 yrs warranty and life-time warranty are not a big issue. If your laminate flooring is of good quality and well installed, and if it does not give you problem within 15 yrs, then unlikely it will give way after that. However, I read from some reviews that the after sales service for Pergo is not very good. Not sure if this is still the same now, you need to find out more if you go for Pergo. Kronotex and supreme are just the 2 commonly used companies by IDs. You have a choice to go for other brands. Don't limit yourself to these 2 I want cheap and good. so 4.2 is a good price?

softballer 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 not that sure leh.. i think the diameter is about 2.5 m. it is a semi-circular.. i think ard 70 to 80 sq ft. But my ID say need to get at least 200 sq ft for the platform which is about $760. and cos it is circular i think the construction of the platform is also more ex. the laminate she is recommending is power dekor.. cant rem clearly..

SmartFool 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 softballer thanks semi circular is around 8 feet in diameter seems like quite a nice size price dont sound too much tho i am just thinking that if its around 250 sq feet = 1.4k 1 sq foot around 6bucks? going to get some quotations and i am doing a squarish platform will revert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yokine9a 1 Report post Posted April 29, 2008 It is an attractive price based on what I have paid, but it also depends on how high your standard is. To me, though I am using Supreme, $4.20psf matches their standard/quality. Not really that fantastic. Imagine they can start quoting me at $4.80psf, reduced to $4.30psf, and then yours at $4.20psf. This means their cost should be even lower in order to make profit However, $4.50psf for Pergo is what I think cheap and good, knowing that Pergo is a branded name in laminate flooring. In Mandarin, there is this term called "1 cent $$, 1 cent product" Still, the decision is yours, think wisely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yokine9a 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Yes, also consider normal Cos to me, not biased but Msia made can never beat Europe made. If you look at Kronotex higher range series, those 12mm ones, you can see that the texture, feeling and design really beat those 8mm ones. Well, some might say that for home use, no point to go for 12mm. My bf was very keen at Kronotex but I didn't want to spend too much on laminate flooring as I was not sure if that was what I want. In the end, I turned to Supreme for their cheapest offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogre 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 i just bought it at expo. got it for $5. Initial quote was $5.20. seems like we really need to squeeze those sales until dry dry to get a good deal. 3 bedroom cost me around $2.7k. one id quoted me $2.9k close to $3k for 3 bedroom using china brand laminate with 15 yrs warranty. so afterall still happy.
