BunBun 5 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 If going by ID, it might be slightly more ex as there is a commission to be earned in the ID's favour. So check with your ID the price per psf he will give you and compare with the direct company like Pergo, Vohringer, supreme or kronotex. Also it depends on what grade are you getting, AC3, AC4 or AC5? 5.20psf is ex. which company you approached?

terazzo 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 Is it true that Pergo and Kronotex will only lay the laminates using their own workers? Warrenty issue or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yokine9a 1 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I was quoted $4.30psf during the exhibition in Feb from Supreme AC5. Didn't expect it to increase so much within couple of months. You should bargain further. Yes, more established company like Supreme, Kronotex etc will use their own workers to do the laying work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawry 3 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) happywheel, mine's Supreme AC5. Sorry, i don't have his contact anymore, but it all started from this guy at Courts Tampines (where IKEA is), there is a Supreme section within, he sent a rep down to my place to take measurements and a quotation on the spot. Tip : Get a quotation from a few IDs (grade/type) first, roughly know the market rate. Next, get the quote from Supreme, whatever price they give you (should be lower than your ID), tell them your ID gave the same rates for the same thing, why sub it to them? They will reduce on the spot. :P It's personal commission and sales figures to match after all. Next, tell you ID what rates you got from Supreme direct, if they are willing to match that, usually $600/800 cheaper, then it's theirs, or else remove item from quote. Tip 2 : I assume you are overlaying? Use these laminates for your STOREROOM as well if any, but get your ID to quote based on all hacking/all tiles price first, then tell them you don't want to hack storeroom, minus out the difference, savings around $300 odd. Because it's storeroom, does it matter if it's new tiles or laminates? If your place have no existing old tiles, then this doesn't apply.

Hi Lawry you have got a good deal for AC 5...believe the price was cheap few months ago when u signed with them I'm overlaying the existing tiles...to save cost for hacking due to tight budget because i noticed there are alot of additional items to include during the process of reno. at the meantime will wait for them to get back to me with the quote....IDs should be more exp due to mark up price . keep u update cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveMyHome 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2008 I totally agreed that laminate flooring grading play a big part. My contractor provided me with 10 years warranty, Wooo Hooo~. There was once i called them up because there is a hairline defectment due to thermal expansion or whatever i believe and i called them 1 1/2year after my installation. They take out the pieces and the door skirting to reinstall for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
