Hi ,

Is anyone recommend any good company for laminate flooring ?

Thanks

There is a company in Catalkoy in the same parade as the food lodge. We bought ours from there but fitted it ourselves.

Toros have fitted laminate floors in a couple of rooms for me and they have been absolutely excellent. The Girne shop has samples and they will send somebody out to measure and price.

Tescomar in Catalkoy (Next to food Lodge)

fitted mine overall happy BUT they didn't allow for space to move washing machine under worktop ie laminate fitted too far under and as I'm now finding out it's a pig to trim back once laid, Lounge , hall and 1 bedroom 1600TL incl Damp proof membrane.

Highly recommend Tescomar, they did my bedroom and made an excellent job, the insulation under it has made a tremendous difference, they do 2 grades of insulation, a thin one on a roll and a thicker one in sheets.

I had a guy recently who came and did the whole house in Laminate. Did a great job, but when I saw him 'nailing', (oh yes), the trim to the wall.... I asked him if he had any 'Liquid Nails' instead of using the nails.... ofcourse not, your in NCyprus. so I went to the hardware shop and bought some. The guy seemed pleased and promptly started to glue the trim to the walls. I came back later that day to find he'd finished, very quick too.... Oh, and he'd also nailed the trim to the wall! I don't think they'll ever fall off... (lol)

One of the problems with using nails, is that due to the high-humidity here in Cyprus, nails will go rusty, possibly from the damp in the walls or from the air.

Morale: Don't leave workmen unattended, and learn Turkish....

Hi All ,

Many Thanks for your recommendations .I went to Tescomar and agreed .

They will install it next week .

Did they come to the house first and work it out or go by your measurements? Also I have quite a bit of furniture they would have to move.
