Choose Your Flooring Wisely (Vinyl vs Laminate vs Engineered Wood vs Bamboo)

Ойын-сауық

Our master bedroom got flooded in the middle of the night and when we finally noticed, everything was soaked.
In this video we talk about the damage it caused (mostly to our floors) and why it's important to choose your flooring type properly.
Thanks to our floor supplier www.designsource.com.ph for all the help! Check them out guys.

    I remodeled our house and used Pergo Outlast+. Very expensive but best investment! It is waterproof, scratch resistant, stain resistant and a very important feature is it has built-in padding that absorbs shock and sound or noise which is good for people walking with heels or heavy shoes/sandals as well as dogs running or playing. Easy to clean and very pet-friendly.

Nice to walk on, easy to clean and the room became quieter. So from someone who likes wood, I don't regret plastic carpet. The most expensive thing we looked at came from Finland 1500 skr/m2

    I am here in the U.S and here most contractors are recommending SPC with 100% waterproof! Also, make sure you get good brands because you will only spend one time on your home and don't think cheap because like what happened to you.... you need to start over and pay again for another flooring. SPC is for high traffic meaning really good. (it's also luxury) The wear and tear are high! wear and tear layer is important also, So make sure you get at least 20mm wear and tear. I bought my 2nd house here in California so I am always researching for good materials. No wood if you know your area will get flooded lol. Some brands are designed even soaking for water in a day... Just do your research just don't listen to people, especially bloogers=) If they know and they did their research they will not have problems....

    I put cheap laminate in my bedrooms and living area and it only cost me about $1000. I did understand that this was a temporary solution because it was cheap and easy to install and I had neither time nor money before needing to move in. I just finished tiling the Kitchen dining area, that was only done enough to get the kitchen working before moving in. I'm thinking about doing a Wood look tile for the rest of the house once I recover from tiling the kitchen area. Being able to pay someone else to do it would be even better, because I hate tiling.

    Wood laminates or more known as snaplock laminates can really be problematic when exposed to water, I work for property insurance claims management in the US and that’s like the usual problem they encounter with the floor. If it’s cupping, it’s usually no more salvageable and needs to be replaced instead. Engineered hardwood can be resanded, though, as long as the veneer is atleast 30mm thick. Anyway, great content, I took courses about these and I mostly agree with what you said there.

    ever thought of looking into ULTRA floors? (havwood/valinge brand) it's a hybrid crossover of MDF laminates and engineered wood flooring. It's durable, scratch-proof, waterproof, inexpensive, without having the ugly repeats of a vinyl that still gives you that realistic luxury look. Also, i suggest applying a DPM primer first on the concrete slab before floating the floors. This will serve as a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from sipping out from the ground to your floors OR utilize an underlayment that comes with a vapor barrier. Moisture can cause buckling, cupping or cracks.

HDF or compositek is a lot more stable and is ideal for humid areas such as the philippines since the material does not react to the humidity as much as solid wood does. This is also due to the synthetic construction of the flooring. Valinge Woodura -- super cool stuff!

    I have small house. I use vinyl tile planks (yung parang makapal at textured na linoleum) kasi nag-iiba ang trends every 5 to 10 yrs. 10 yrs ago it was reddish brown wood color pero dahil nauso ang whites and natural wood color, I changed the planks. Madali tanggalin, madali mag-install ulit lalo sa gaya kong babae. I love redecorating my little paradise. I never had issues sa mga umaangat or scratches. My neighbors on the other hand have ceramic tiles installed in their house for over 2 yrs, pag lumalamig na panahon, may umaangat until recently lahat ng tiles umangat at nagcrack nalang - maybe due to thermal expansion. So I'm still happy I opted to vinyl planks.

    Even if the Laminate Wood/Eng Wood is waterproof, if your room gets flooded, the laminate may get some protection but the issue is water retention under the laminate which will result in bacterial growth and "kulob" smell of the room. So the best bet is still the regular tile.
