Hi Claire -- to clarify, are you referring to a wooden laminate like the brand Pergo? I know they have it here and I think Crusco (among others) sells the wooden material. We'll be there soon getting some bathroom tile -- shall we inquire for you on an installer, ecc?

If you're referring to a linoleum product, I don't know. doug

Yes the wooden laminate, a fitter/supplier would be great many thanks, I may check out Ikea but I know the delivery to Scalea is £150 so it may be cheaper to buy nearer home kind regards and many thanks for the reply, could you let me know of the date for next years scooter rally I know its a long way off but as soon as I know i will book the time off work as im not missing it again

We'll be at Crusco tomorrow and will look further. Our builder, Angelo Oliva di Papasidero, says he can install it, but there should be others in Scalea. Tony knows all the builders in Scalea area. There are likely other suppliers too in Scalea, but I'd stay away from the small guys who don't do much volume in the flooring as they also probably don't have as much experience with installations and problems!

I'll try to find a website for the Scalea Vespa club that sponsors these things. Could be a tad bit early, but ya never know. doug

Claire,
We are buying all our tile from GRECO this time :: Greco | Cultura dei materiali :: and it turns out they also have a great selection of wood laminate flooring. I think their inventory of tile and wood is greater than Crusco while Crusco has a slightly larger selection of bath and shower fittings.

Anyway, a friend of the owner was there to help with translations yesterday and it was her opinion that the wood flooring is "not good by the sea because it is too hot" vs. tile flooring! There is lots to look at here when you come down. I am sending you a private message with more contact info. DOUG
