Interesting reading about furniture stores but I am looking for wooden flooring retailers for hardwood flooring and laminate flooring.

Any ideas?

Trujte...that is exactly what I was thinking plus the moisture/humdity there would do a number on any laminate surface.

Yip,

I guessed no one would use laminate but hardwood flooring is used all over the world as it can be treated for for all climates.

I sell and install this flooring in scotland and we are loking at moving in the future but would need a steady income from installation and possibly supplying hardwood flooring.

On seeing the amount of large new builds in certain areas of the island on my last visit I assumed that not everyone wants tiles from floor to ceiling and if there is a market for hardwood flooring it would make transition easier for us .

If you know of anyone or anywhere hardwood flooring is available on the island any info is welcome.

Most people have stone or tile, unless you live in a wood frame house which has what I would call plank flooring. I think stone and tile feel cooler underfoot for one. Purpleheart is very popular now as well. You should check the Barbados Yellow Pages Online for resources.

It is possible to furnish a house from scratch, within a short period of time. I moved out here in October and had to buy all my furniture within 2 weeks before my family arrived, everything from beds to knives so I have done a total tour of duty.


Shops to head to are:

Designer Decor (sofa's, patio furniture, coffee tables, pool furniture)

Edo (I bought a lovely table and chairs - however their wood is not treated so you will need to do this yourself otherwise you will get stains from cups, glasses etc..... its a pain having to paint on the treatment but essential

WorkBench- great beds, sofas, coffee tables

Standard - beds and furniture - pretty basic but worth a look

Ganjajah (think thats spelt right) nice wooden coffee tables, lamps

Indian Ocean Exports - Gorgeous Teak Balinease furniture (EXPENSIVE!!!)


Hope this helps

Ax
