So to upload photos you need to click on "Full Editor". Yes, so all throughout our stone will be Matrix blanco. In the kitchen the back bench will be polar white cabinetry with subway tiles as backsplash. The island bench will have dark cabinetry. We'll have a dark looking wood flooring. So the whole feel will be really industrial. I'll see if I can find some photos, I changed phones so need to find the photos from my phone when we went to selections Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 32Oct 27, 2016 9:49 am Sgene85 Ahhh, I normally just use the quick reply at bottom.

The full editor does not let me upload photos We are doing our flooring outside of PD as its way cheaper. We went for the standard bricks, I cant remember the name lol, it was red. Looking forward to checking out your kitchen!

Looking forward to checking out your kitchen! oh really bummer... uploading files from the computer is the best way rather than sharing links etc. Although yesterday i had alot of trouble uploading photos on this topic for some reason. Yes same! so much cheaper, and PD really didnt have alot to offer in terms of selection that makes two of us Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 35Oct 27, 2016 11:51 am I wonder as to why I can't upload photos. Are you using the homeone website? National tiles are having a sale on Nov 1, 25% off everything. I'll PM you my work email address if you want to communicate by email as its so hard to communicate from here Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 36Oct 27, 2016 2:28 pm Sgene85 I wonder as to why I can't upload photos.

I'll PM you my work email address if you want to communicate by email as its so hard to communicate from here yes using the homeone website, but through google chrome. ah ok we are going floorboards not tiles and have already paid our deposit! not the greatest pic. its a greay/brown oak look Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 37Oct 27, 2016 2:50 pm Strange because I am also using google chrome. Can you take a screenshot of how you upload photos? That looks nice!! We were also originally sold on going wood - solid oak. But we got talked out of it when we went into a display in Woodlea. These were the points: 1. They are harder to maintain 2. They get scratched easy with hills, moving furniture’s, pets etc 3. They are loud 4. Expensive 5. they expand or shrink So the question was, did we like floorboard/timber/wooden floor because of the look? Our answer was yes. Then they recommended timberlook porcelain tiles. They look and feel exactly like wood/timber/floorboard except tiles are easier to clean, good with pets, cheaper. So I’m pretty sure we will be going to timberlook porcelain tiles and we’ll save half the cost Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 38Oct 27, 2016 3:49 pm Sgene85 Strange because I am also using google chrome.

Yes agree, we have floorboards now at our current home and never again! Hence why we have gone a timber oak look laminate, its amazing. It looks and feels just like timber without any kind of wear and tear thats noticeable. They are really large panels too. The dents and scratches esp with kids would be my nightmare too. yes i have seen the timberlook tiles, they look great and so do the vynal have you seen those? They are also worth considering to if you want to avoid the cold effect tiles have, vynal is really smoothe under foot! Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 39Oct 27, 2016 6:37 pm The timber look tiles will be much colder under foot, and then you need to think about grout lines, where timber is a smooth surface.... Pros and cons for either. I'm actually surprised that the tiles are cheaper to be honest. When I've seen them, they are > $75 sqm....plus laying.

I guess for my wife and I, we were originally thinking of going oak (not timber laminate) which was $120 sqm. So $60-$70 sqm for tiles is definitely half the cost. And for the reasons I provided on my previous post, we think we will be better off going with timberlook porcelain tiles.
