Evorich Flooring Parador Laminate Balcony

We have a balcony that was used for the daughter 's play area. The wife wanted the balcony to be an extension of the living room for the longest time but because it is a recessed area, our furniture cannot extend to the balcony area. So we have to raised the floor in order to make it level to the living room.

Since it is the balcony area, I thought we have to do outdoor decking. On our visit to one of the local vendor, Evorich Flooring told us otherwise. Since the balcony is indoors and not exposed to the elements, we can do a laminate flooring and we were quoted only SGD900 for the project.

The Wife choose Parador Cross-Cut Oak Smoke Minipearl pattern.

The balcony lies on a gradient. The wooden blocks are used to level the
slats.

The wooden blocks are glued to the floor and the slats are glued on it.

A glob of glue goes here...

Wooden slat goes on top.

Next, the wooden planks goes on top and it is screwed on.

There is a gap between the wooden plank and concrete floor.
This is to facilitate laying of cables in the future.

One side completed.

All boards are in place.

Next goes the laminate floor.

The layout has to be on a staggered manner.

The completed job.

The gap will be covered by a plastic 'capping'.

The gap capped and taped for it to be in place.

So what do you think?

I hope its a good investment.
