Installation of coverings
We employ experienced and trained groups of fitters who ensure professional installation of coverings. Our work is always preceded by a noncommittal and gratuitous visit at the installation place, to take measurements of rooms and to assess important factors which influence our work, such as: condition of old coverings, condition of subfloor, number and type of arches, angles and permanent objects, as well as stairs. We are open to all requests and requirements of our Customers. We are able to do even most unusual installations, like complicated patterns on floors or coverings on walls. We work carefully, efficiently and promptly. We also work in unusual hours, for example after office hours and at weekends. That is why we do not occupy rooms for more time than it is absolutely necessary and our Customers avoid stoppage of work in companies, schools, medial facilities or offices. We have many references concerning finished investments.
