House Constuction [Merged]

[travajante]

Anyone tried laminated flooring? Upon searching, ang cons na nabasa ko is bawal mabasa dahil magiging "weak" yung material. Also, may specified cleaner ba to clean laminated flooring since hindi pwede i-mop?

TIA!

Too many of these out to distinguish the worthy from the less since Pergo developed this type of floors decades back.
Look at the surface material & the core. If they're wood based & not High-Pressure Laminate on resin or vinyl core, they cannot be subjected to moisture. Absorption will lead to dimensional changes, peaking, cupping, even delamination.
However, the click-lock float floor has evolved into many different types for varied applications...even waterproof ones are out.

I think safe naman mag mop, just make sure hindi sobrang basa yung mop. Pigain muna bago magmop.

Another tip too is to keep stock of tiles for incidents like this. Some tiles get phased out or would come in different batches so sometimes iba yung kukay. Otherwise, you’ll be forced to use different tiles, or if you’re OC, you might have to change all your tiles completely para same sila.

we did that.
but by the time we needed them, many years later,
we could not find them anymore!
heh heh.

need to have good system...

2nd floor ng house namin now, cantilevered/overhang all around by 1m, dun sa part na yung mga sanitary pipes ng T&B ng 2nd flr., so if may repairs, nasa labas lang. Pero 22yrs na etong bahay and wala pa naman leaks mga sanitary pipes. May renovation 9yrs ago, pero hindi ginalaw mga sanitary pipes, but replaced all the GI water pipes to Unitec pipes (yung plastic with aluminum).

We used similar fused plastic pipes for our water line as we've designed them as pressured water lines (with pressure tank and then Maynilad later came in).... No leak so far..... Hopefully, for a long time...

As for the T&Bs,- we've laid them out as one on top of another and on one side of the house, as much as possible,- with one on an overhang...

Yup avoid water, this is what happened when my son spilled water on their room floor & didn’t tell us about it. Use a damp cloth/rag & wipe it with dry.

Kaya nga sa amin bro,- ingat kami na huwag mabasa... And we use [furniture] footies for chairs, tables, beds etc.... Or, carpets as applicable.

And we regularly wipe the laminate-floor with pledge to maintain the natural topcoat/luster...

So far after more than 15 years, parang bago pa rin....

This is how most laminate floors in the market are constructed....Obviously no match against water.
This is what most would want...waterproof Luxury Vinyl Floors/Planks(LVP). The core is either StonePlasticComposite or WoodPlasticComposite...both waterproof.

Ano kaya ang mas ok na flooring for home gym, Pergo type laminated wood, o vinyl?

I think vinyl for the gym for better hygiene. Hospitals use vinyl for the same reason.

Vinyl...steer clear of obvious water damage risk...you won't want sweat absorption on your gym floor & turn it into some culture lab, sir.

Hindi pala pwede sakin vinyl kasi madalas ako maka spill sa flooring

Always thought that tiles were more hygienic before because of the sleek, shiny finish and being easier to clean. But apparently vinyl has antimicrobial properties. Antistatic too, so it protects expensive hospital equipment.

Yes, they're required to use the weldable vinyl in rolls for hygiene. Wall to floor jointline is curved to avoid dirt deposits. It's non-absorbent, impact resistant yet softer than ceramic tiles....which will have too many joints/grout lines.

Oh, so it's the joints that are unhygienic for tiles. Makes sense. I just wonder about the durability of vinyl long term. They don't seem to be that abrasion resistant. But probably not an issue indoors.

I defer to travs boss, he's the expert here. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the brand.

Home gym naman ok lang dahil wala naman ibang tao gagamit.

There are some tiles (& grout as well) that are antibacterial too, but majority hindi.
