balak din sana namin paayos yung flooring dahil sa anay. sabi ng contractor namin mas ok daw yung engineered wood kesa sa pergo.

what's the difference between wood laminates and engineered wood?

Price and aesthetics.

Price and aesthetics.

Pero, in the long run, sir cyber, mas prefer nyo po engineered wood?I have fear with the "nagtutuklap" issues with laminates kse...

[cyberfunk]

Yes.. Mas ok ang engineered wood as long as long as the local manufacturer followed standard 1/16" top ply thickness. Engineered wood is like a plywood basically. May mga ply na opposite grain kaya mas stable pa ito sa solid wood. Mahal ngalang as oppose to sa medyo unpopular ng wood parquet.

Ty very much cyberfunk..

Ok ang looks ng Krono kahit limited and design. Problem with Krono is the wear and tear resistance nya. Pero kung kwarto lang na low traffic naman pwede na ang krono. Wag lang madalas daanan ito tatagal naman pero still it wont last as long as The PERGO brand.

Try to consider medyo high end Vinyl tiles fro apo that looks like carpet tiles. It really looks promising and also sadly walang major distributor dito ang Armstrong. They make one of the best linoleum floors. Maganda rin ang linoleums kaya lang the best brands didn't reach our shores. Even Matha Stewart made a line of designer series Linoleum and vinyl floorings.

I used those APO mimicry vinyl tiles (cost around 126php 450x450x3mm - gainswell marketing) on an office renovation project. They look odd. I’m all for integrity of materials and I was very opposed to using it. However, the pattern I used matches the real “carpet” I installed in the other areas of the office (can’t use real carpet in IT area). It takes getting used to but looks ok after a month or so.

Also, are we talking about the same Krono brand by August Alliance (also distributes Kronospan, Kronoflooring)? If we are, their planks are top notch. You might be talking about Kronospan. Krono is eeeexpensive. And very nice. I specify Krono for high end condominium model units.

I don't know if their related but I was referring to the cheaper kind of Laminated flooring kronotex.

I'm pretty open to using vinyl materials but sadly here we are have been familiarized with the kinds of APO and KENT vinyls when it come to flooring. It's a shame that the likes of Armstrong, Congoleum, and more.. didn't have good distributors here. If there was there was no marketing what so ever to get notice. I've encountered a few but it was shipped over. If I have the resources I would have marketed them here.

^^ the good vinyls are surprisingly expensive. sometimes, it's as expensive as mid end homogenous tiles. (e.g. vinly flooring of coffee bean)

we don't have higher end vinyls here because those that have the money would rather spend them in tiles and those who don't would rather buy the cheapest they can afford.

in short - no market demand.

^ you have a point there.. =)

What do you recommend pala for room floorings?

Hi guys, newbie here. Hindi na ako nagmimithi ng Pergo 'coz it's waayyy out of our budget. I'm considering the following brands: Environ (distributed by JME Supreme), Steiger (distributed by the same co. that distributes Pergo) and Eurotex. They're all found at Westgate Alabang Home Depot. They're about the same price, around P600/sq.m.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback (good or bad) that you may have regarding these brands. Thanks!!!

i don't know about the other brands, but Environ is "ok" - and JME is also "ok" by ok, i mean, decent value for money, decent after sales service. kung yun lang budget mo (- 600psqm) ok na ito.

wood planks, wood planks, wood planks (synthetic, natural, laminated, whatever) para hindi malamig sa paa kung di ka naka tsinelas. pwede rin carpet kung masipag ka mag vacuum at kung di maalikabok ang lugar nyo.

kung di kaya ng budget, e di tiles. at kung medyo adventurous ka at type mo industrial look, polished concrete.

Stieger is also distributed by Design Source. It offers 6 years warranty. I think depende sa gamit at maintenance okay na ang Stieger.

At the Alabang Home Depot, look for Ernol Madamba and request for a quotation. Tell him you were referred by Weng from Las Piñas. Definitely pasok sa budget na P600. Pwede pa credit card as someone posted here. Ü

Thanks, happy_pomelo! We did visit Design Source, P599/sq.m. with foam and installation ang quote sa amin for Steiger. Swak na sana sa budget pero parang ang konti ng designs nila.

Ang ganda sana ng Pergo but it's so pricey. Their top of the line is P2,999/sq.m., their cheapest is P999/sq.m.

Yong quote ba nakuha mo from your contract includes labor or its just the price of the materials?

Is this directed to me? Actually, nag-inquire pa lang kami. They said with installation, so I guess yun na yung labor, unless mali ang assumption ko, hehe.
