Some companies are importing inferior products. We also spoke with the guy from PTF yesterday and was impressed. We had originally been quoted from KLR Flooring and Bamboo Timber Select but they can't match the price of PTF. The Homeshow special of $99 fully installed is great. this is why we are worried about what our builder will get us in the first place (they will go for low cost not quality). I was wary of the really cheap floors I saw at the home show. I dont want to have to get them fixed or replaced.
