I am going in for colours in a few weeks and my boyfriend and I are butting heads about if we should tile or do laminate through the non carpeted areas. I won't say who wants which but can I get some honest feedback on your opinions of these two choices? Particularly we are wondering what maintenance for laminate is like, as we both come from tiles homes. Also is laminate durable at all? E.g. Will it scratch easily if something is dropped on dragged on it like cutlery, plates etc Thanks in advance Hi Meliss, So good that you asked the question. We are also still tossing up between standard tiles or standard laminates. We would like the look of the laminates and also they are good come winter. Only worry we are having is about the durability. Two young kids who often spill stuff on the floor. Would love all the insights and would be great to hear more of your thoughts and findings. Also roughly how much difference would it make if we want to upgrade to timber flooring? Or even better tiles? Thanks Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 17517Jul 20, 2017 2:39 pm Hi all As mentioned earlier I got my handover next Friday. I did my final housepct inspect on Tuesday. Mind you this was a mission it self. Ss didn't allow them to go in initially and asked them to wait until handover. But long story short I managed to get them in. Warning: don't trust the Clarendons so claimed 200 point check before last two weeks of handover. During my walk through I only saw paint touch up issues. But the report came back with many more small defects which I wouldn't have known. Ex. Insulation on ceiling and sarking is not done properly. Down lights holes not correct size. Cabinet minor damages etc. Interestingly my SS asked for the report so he can give it to the handyman. So I highly recommend getting this final report done on or before your handover.

RS. yes your sarking shouldn't have any issues at this stage however your insulation on the ceiling doesn't need to be perfect. They actually don't complete roof insulation until both aircon and electrical final fit out. Ie ceiling insulation is the last job on your roof. I knew my one will have issues, eureka insulation guy was there past 7pm working in the dark, I can only assume he had a head light on. But obviously he missed the quality check after the final job.

There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6903 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant.
