I work in flooring - do you have a flooring question?

thanks a lot .
I'll probably stick to the abode noble.

I'm confused which one to choose, whether the gloss laminate or the matte one (with grain texture). The gloss laminate looks nice but is it much better in the long run (appearance and practicality)?

We're installing it in our first floor of the home as we cannot have carpets (allergy).

Thanks

Friends of our installed a high gloss laminate. They realised almost immediately it was a mistake. It scratched very easily, showed dust and footprints. They were sweeping and mopping on a daily basis and it never looked clean.

Within a couple of months they pulled it all up and laid a matt laminate which they are very happy with.

I agree, everything is matt now and looks so much better for it!!

Thanks Bebbsy and Michelle, helps me a lot with my decision making. I'll go for matt laminate.

Hi again Michelle,

We have finalised the flooring to be korlok karndean smoked black butt. I loved the color.

Now I have a carpet related question. Our builder gave us the tuftmasyer harbour town range and I like the eternity rosewell range.

Would you be able to tell which one is better? Eternity Roswell with underlay felt softer...
the tuft master harbour town is also 💯 nylon but has polypropylene primary backing. I am not sure what the backing is on eternity or if it matters also.

Please help.

Hmmm... Tufmaster only do a hesion backing, which is why I bought Tuftmaster for my home. Thumbs up from me for the Rosewell range. Hesion will not stretch like other backing's can.

Hi Again Michelle,

sorry for being lame but does that mean that rosewell is better or tuftmaster harbor town is better?
hesion backing is a good thing to have? I am not sure what it means.

this is the harbor town tuftmaster that our builder is giving us. Rosewell eternity felt softer under foot with underlay.

how do you rate these for stain resistance and other ratings also? or are they equal in quality?

lovely house you got there

This is what they are offering to put.

Thank you I need to seal my concrete soon.

4 star, I never go less than 5, if you have stairs you need 6 star.

Thanks a bunch.

What product range of Tuftmaster have ypu bought?

Through Choice's it's call Ritola, top end of the range.

thanks but isn't Ritola an eternity carpet also?

Yes, its in the Choices group called Eternity.

HI Michelle

Just have stupid question if you don't mind it.

1- is this Hybrid Flooring ? Could not find Hybrid Flooring on choicesflooring website.

https://www.nationaltiles.com.au/flooring/shop-by-type-flooring/hybrid?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyZeT1pDb4AIVziMrCh0Vpgz_EAAYBCAAEgISpfD_BwE

2- Above mentioned Hybrid Flooring from National Tiles is 6 mm Thick. My builder put skirting as prime or nailed rather than tack or glue. Would 6 mm thickness is a problem ? I heard under 5 mm thickness skirting prim or nail is not a problem. I could be wrong

Thanks

The choices website on the vinyl page - the first 2 lines are the abode range, they are the hybrids. Yes, not very well advertised I have to say.

Yes, it seems your link is a hybrid flooring.
Not quite sure what you are meaning with the skirting, we install 14mm floating floors plus 2mm underlay under skirts, no problem.

Hi all, I thought I would post some recent photos of a project I did the end of last year. This is a holiday rental at Coolangatta NSW on the south coast. Full renovation, internal and externals. The flooring I chose was Karndean looselay long boards in French Grey Oak. I went straight over the existing tiles with a skim coat of ardex first.
My client is very happy with m y chosen flooring for investment.
