I have some very nice samples of acasia wood .... this is the coming thing in parquet flooring ... lighter in color, harder, and less grain than teak ... will age beautifully ....
I can recommend contractors using my stuff .... ![]()

Ok. Gratz on securing the distributorship.
Well usually ppl use paraquet for the flooring of their rooms
Unless they decide to go for the cheaper laminated flooring
The reason why my whole flat is paraquet flooring coz MPB dun want to chance me sneaking a dog back home :x

that case, perhpas a tie-up with a termite control biz would be ideal. provide 2-in-1 solution.

Bad idea. Coz you remind ppl that termites like wood :P
They might not even think of that possibility
no termites ... some wood naturally repel termites and other boring insects .... others are pre-treated .....
but what's the connection between termintes and doggies ? .....

No connection
Wood flooring is a bad idea for furry pets
Coz if they have an 'accident' the smell and stain is gonna be there for some time -_-"

cracked off as in 1 piece of of the entire square of 4-5 comes off? we had that same problem (and yeah it was about 25 years old). and when we knock on the floor, a hollow sound comes out - found out later that it was a termite prob. thereafter, it has been tiles or marbles.

I always want parquet in the rooms coz I have butter fingers and always dropping my perfume bottles
For some reason, they don't smash when they hit parquet...nevermind my floor gets a dent
if i get a new place lah..
a bunny rabbit would make a great pet.. especially the mini lops

dumber than normal rabbits, with a gentler and friendlier disposition.. and very curious too.. ![]()
