Difference Between Vinyl And Laminate

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I've come to the last stage of deciding what material to use for my bedrooms as i've decided to use homogenous for the living room.

Can anyone here tell me what are the difference between Vinyl and Laminate?

Hope to get a conclusion here.

Thanks and regards

Very laymen terms is >>

Leminate is wood (can be compress, watever wood.) simple to say it can absorb water / moister .

Vinyl is more of rubber...

leminate walking got "bok bok" sound.

vinyl lesser..

leminate "MAY" have more % to warp/ kiao then vinyl.

It is depending on how one protect them.

Some leminate will fade colours more then vinyl..

(Well, even real wood will fade when under long hours of sunlight)

Price diff is extra 1.5 times to twice of the price. (again depend which series/quality you choose - vinyl being the more exp).

My own views, if one can protect , leminate is good enough.

If its 1st home, save cost put leminate, use 5-6 years, sell the hdb.

2nd home then really go think granite / marble / verneer etc.. :notti:

i hv some friends that used vinyl/leminate & curse day & night because they never take care. Some that took care also kpkb as got the stickly feeling because when mopping cannot use much water.

As for me, i no $, so anything goes..

There is this ID quoted me

AC heavy duty waterproof resilient flooring (master room & 3 common rooms, total floor size 550sft) S$3,300 + wood skirting $500. about $7sft?

I think the price quoted is quite close to a parquet flooring but she is told me this resilient flooring is a latest technology and very lasting especially AC5 grade...

I always get confuse with so many term of different materials, some company said:

1. Vinyl

2. Vinyl tiles

3. Laminate

4. Resilient flooring

Also wish to find out which of the above lasting, no poping sounds when walk on, will not strink when have contact with water...

Thanks. :sport-smiley-003::sport-smiley-003:
