KUALA LUMPUR: Kanger International Bhd (Kanger International), a China-based bamboo maker which made its debut on the ACE market yesterday, seeks to list on the main board in two to three years.

It is in talks with local real estate developers and hotel operators to supply its products, with a hotel in Sabah having adopted its offerings, managing director Leng Xingmin told reporters after the share debut here yesterday.

The company is expanding into Malaysia in the wake of growing competition in China, a market where Alliance Research estimates to have 200 bamboo flooring makers.

Malaysia has abundant supplies of bamboo but no one is tapping the resource, Leng said.

Although the demand for bamboo across the world is expected to pick up five per cent every year amid calls for the adoption of greener materials in industries such as construction, the material is underutilised in Malaysia, Leng said.

The listing would help Kanger promote the use of bamboo and increase brand awareness, he added. Kanger currently operates two plants in China and plans to set up a manufacturing plan here after the completion of a feasibility study by mid-2014.

The plant would allow it secure more supplies for customers in Malaysia and China, Leng said, declining to offer investment figures.

According to Alliance Research, it is too early for investors to be excited as there are substantial execution risks due to the intense competition within the industry.

Despite the eco-friendliness of bamboo flooring, consumers generally prefer hard flooring such as tiles and marble due to their durability and ease of installation, it said in a note.

There is also increasing consumer concern on the potential health risk from formaldehyde-based adhesives used in bamboo flooring products, the research firmsaid.

Installation of Parquet Floors Job Site Inspection Storage and Handling Subfloor Requirements General Information on Adhesives Spreading the Adhesive Installing the Parquet Flooring Completing the Installation Sanding Stain and Finish Maintenance Installer/Owner Responsibility

Back to main F.A.Q.

Handle and unload with care. Store in a dry place being sure to provide at least a four-inch air space under cartons which are stored upon "on-grade" concrete floors. Flooring should not be delivered until the building has been closed in with windows and doors in place and until cement work, plastering and all other "wet" work is completed and dry. Concrete should be at least 60 days old. Solid oak parquet flooring should be stored in the environment in which it is expected to perform. Air conditioning/heating systems should be in place and in operation at least 14 days prior, during and after installation of the flooring. Check adhesive label for storage limitations.

If installing over inadequate, existing plywood subfloor consider installing plywood underlayment over existing subfloor. Standard 4 X 8 plywood sheet should be cut in four pieces and screwed to subfloor leaving small gap between the sheets to allow for expansion.

NOTE: Test several areas, especially near exterior walls and walls containing plumbing.

NOTE: A "DRY" SLAB, AS DEFINED BY THESE TESTS CAN BE WET AT OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR. THESE TESTS DO NOT GUARANTEE A DRY SLAB. ALL CONCRETE SLABS SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF 6 MIL POLY FILM MOISTURE BARRIER BETWEEN THE GROUND AND THE CONCRETE

NOTE: When installing UNFINISHED SOLID WOOD PARQUET flooring, allow a minimum of 36 hours adhesive curing time before applying seals, stains and finishes to unfinished flooring. Trowel filling and fillers are required to reduce the possibility of panalization caused by the finish "gluing" the slats together. Test the moisture content of the wood in accordance with the stain/finish manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid installing from the surface of the flooring. If necessary distribute weight using a kneeler board.

Maximum Adhesive Working Times:

Hold the trowel at a minimum 45 angle (figure below) firmly against the subfloor to obtain a 50-60 sq. ft. per gallon spread rate.

Please follow technical specification for working time for adhesive.

Allure Flooring Installation: Product review with Vania Cao, PhD - Video

Lorton, VA (PRWEB) December 20, 2013

WISA Solutions was awarded a basement remodel in Fairfax Station, Virginia. This was an entire basement remodel that included a new bathroom, flooring, bar and gym.

The first phase of this project was the demolition. All of the flooring was taken up along with a complete demolition of the bathroom and bedroom.

The first part of the remodel WISA started was the bathroom. The bathroom remodel included a new tub, tile, vanity, hardware, toilet, lighting and fixtures. The homeowner picked out all of these products from WISA's showroom with the assistance of a WISA designer.

Once the bathroom remodel was complete, WISA began painting the rest of the basement. Along with painting, WISA did trim work and crown molding throughout the entertaining room of the basement.

The next phase after the painting and trim work was the flooring. The homeowner picked out laminate flooring from WISA's showroom for the entertaining room. The laminate flooring was installed using a floating method which means no adhesive or nails were used in the installation. The existing bedroom was converted into a home gym which had thick rubber flooring installed that was glued onto the concrete sub floor.

After the flooring, WISA began building the bar in the entertaining area. The cabinetry was also from WISA's showroom. Granite was used as the countertop for this bar. WISA provided a free bar design for the homeowner so they could see the finished product on paper before proceeding with the work.

Once the bar was built and finished, the WISA project manager contacted the homeowner for a final walk through. During this phase, WISA addressed all questions or concerns by the homeowner.

WISA Solutions business hours are from 8AM-5PM weekdays and 10AM-2PM on Saturdays and by appointment with any time outside of that.

Flooring installation by Able Builders, Inc. in Clearwater Florida - Video

A floor is the walking surface of a room or vehicle. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces using modern technology. Floors may be stone, wood, bamboo, metal, or any other material that can support the expected load.

The levels of a building are often referred to as floors although a more proper term is story or storey.

Floors typically consist of a subfloor for support and a floor covering used to give a good walking surface. In modern buildings the subfloor often has electrical wiring, plumbing, and other services built in. As floors must meet many needs, some essential to safety, floors are built to strict building codes in the first world.

Where a special floor structure like a floating floor is laid upon another floor then both may be referred to as subfloors.

Special floor structures are used for a number of purposes:

Floor covering is a term to generically describe any finish material applied over a floor structure to provide a walking surface. Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such a floor covering. Both terms are used interchangeably but floor covering refers more to loose-laid materials.

Materials almost always classified as floor covering include carpet, area rugs, and resilient flooring such as linoleum or vinyl flooring. Materials commonly called flooring include wood flooring, laminated wood, ceramic tile, stone, terrazzo, and various seamless chemical floor coatings.[1]

The choice of material for floor covering is affected by factors such as cost, endurance, noise insulation, comfort and cleaning effort. Some types of flooring must not be installed below grade (lower than ground level), and laminate or hardwood should be avoided where there may be moisture or condensation.

The subfloor may be finished in a way that makes it usable without any extra work, see:

There are a number of special features that may be used to ornament a floor or perform a useful service. Examples include Floor medallions which provide a decorative centerpiece of a floor design, or Gratings used to drain water or to rub dirt off shoes.
