Using "furniture", "equipment"

Wednesday, May 25, 2016
 "He imported all the furnitures in his entire house." I heard that, and what do you think is wrong with that expression? CAUTION: Can the word"furniture" ever take on an 's' plural marker, as in "furnitures"? No way! The word "furniture"is always "furniture", in any case whatsoever. So is the case with "equipment". e.g. He imported all the furniture in his entire house (not "furnitures").
 The new building requires as many equipment for its completion. (not "equipments"). Good enough!
