I am getting quotes for my 3 bedrooms for laminate flooring - its about 42 square yards. Quotes are coming in at around €28- 30 sq. yrd fitted and then extra for the beading. (€16 for laminate and €12 fitting) Its v groove stuff.
I have floorboards there aleady, so it will be a matter of putting the floor down on top. At the doorways where the laminate floor will meet the carpet in the landingand there is already a carpet gold bar there, one guy was talking about putting a sticky bar over the existing gold bar. Would that look right? Same sticky type thingy where laminate will meet tiles in ensuite. Is there any other alternative to these sticky type things. Had one in my last house and thought it looked awful. Guy had said that because the carpet bar is already there, taking it up will leave the carpet unravel. I thought the way to do this would be to take up the existing carpet bar and put a new one down?
Also, whats the correct way of finishing around the radiator pipes. I dont want to take the radiators down, will I be left with lots of that filler stuff.
Sorry for the waffle, but dont have a clue about these things. Want to have a decent finish on the stuff.
Thanks!
