Ano mas okay/maganda ilagay sa bedroom and 2nd floor ng townhouse, hardwood or tiles? And yung super white na glossy tiles 60x60 san kaya meron? Tumingin kasi ako sa wilcon pero wala silang ganon. Ibang klaseng glossy tiles ang meron sila.

@arksarah: okay ba yun super white na 60x60 for a 25sqm? Para kasing over sa laki... Sige tingin kami sa decimal this week. Hindi ba mahal don?

@Showermist: thanks! Actually mas preferred ko nga hardwood or yung tiles na wood design kasi parang cozy yung effect nya. Si husband kasi gusto naka-tiles naman yun buong 2nd floor including the bedroom. But we'll see. Canvass pa kami ng tiles.

for 60x 60 tiles, try mo sis sa mc home depot, fc floor center or at tile express shop.

Thank you sisters for your suggestions! Went to Home depot kanina in ortigas and grabe madami ngang good finds! Pati prices nila mas mura compared sa wilcon na limited lang ang designs, over pa sa mahal! Anyway just want to ask about laminated floorings, okay ba to if compared with vinyls? We have a limited budget kasi, kung tiles na 60x60 sa ground floor (25sqm) plus another set of tiles for the service area, I'm considering hardwood, vinyl or laminated flooring sa 2nd floor and bedrooms (total of 25sqm) plus the stairs. Pero syempre they differ in prices and quality. Need your inputs on this sisses! Thanks!

if budget is not an issue, hardwood (solid wood) talaga.

next is laminated flooring, low maintenance and similar sa look ng hardwood. just don't mop it with water kasi for sure magwa-warp flooring mo. damp cloth lang dapat.

cheapest i believe is vinyl but to get the look of a laminated or hardwood flooring, get the vinyl strips (yung pahaba yung cut like wood planks) not the squares ha. No warpping for sure pero be sure to use good quality adhesive para hindi matanggal sa future and be sure even yung floor mo kasi manipis lang yan so mafi-feel mo talaga if uneven yung flooring.

hi mdy,

if i remember right, if you use laminated flooring, you will need to lay plywood on the floor slab. this is so everything will be level before you install the laminated flooring material. you might have to add this to the total cost.

...forgot to say that the plywood would act as "nailer" or something coz you won't want to install the laminate on the slab.

Based on experience, you only need thin foam underneath the laminated flooring and no nailers or nails involved. The method of installation is called tongue and groove method. I think they also use adhesive but no nails or screws. Profiles or trimmings are also used for terminations like doors, stairs and the room's perimeter.

i plan to do some serious cooking in my condo kitchen. is it essential na magpakabit ako ng rangehood? hindi ba sufficient yung exhaust fan lang?

also, ano mangyayari pag di ako nagpakabit ng backsplash? will i ruin the wall?

cindylulu · « **Reply #250 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:13:19 pm »

^do you have a window in the kitchen? is your range behind the window or at least nearer sa window? pwede na exhaust fan dito. but if you don't have a window, pwede rin exhaust fan lang as long na powerful humigop ito. imo, hindi naman kasi necessity talaga ang rangehood kung kaya na ng exhaust fan mo.

as to the backsplash, not a necessity din. as long as you are able to maintain the cleanliness of your counter and spotlessness of your wall, pwede na rin punas punas lang.

di pa gawa yung unit ko sis, but i'm already researching. excited din kasi ako mag-imagine how i will fix it up.

what i remember from the model unit is sa living room yung window so it will be several meters away.

iamsuperizch · « **Reply #252 on:** February 14, 2012, 06:26:54 pm »

if HEAVY cooking (like maramihan na pang-fiesta, hehe) and no nearby window or door, you really need a strong ranghood but also make sure na may provision for this kasi hindi siya basta-basta kinakabit. otherwise, filter-type hood is fine.

as for the kitchen splashback, if you have the range with cover, no need for splashback. if cooktop lang, i suggest you install one kasi sa likod lang ng cooktop area and not sa buong kitchen. the reason for this is to prevent wall stains from the (food) oil and maiwasan mag-bubbles ang wall paint from the heat of the cooktop.

Hi sisses, what is the best window treatment if my bed is just behind a big window? My masterbedroom and guest room both have those kind of designs. I am choosing between having fabric vertical blinds or floor length curtains with valance. Our house is Modern-Asian. Please need your inputs.TIA

our contractor installed the floor tiles first. mas makalat and madumi ang installation ng floor tiles e baka mabakbak or ma-smear yung walls pag nauna ang paint job.
