    Any cuts that you make will be hidden either under the skirting or under an edging strip, so any power saw is going to do the job

    Hi,

    Unless you are very unlucky and have a long run along a wall that has to be ripped, I think a fine tooth €12.95 throw away should be more than enough for that area 35 m2.

    The Junkers is one of the nicest floors to lay, try and get a few extra clips if you can, and don't forget the glue for the end joints.

    If you are on your own you might want to invest in a pair of ratchet straps with the ends on them for timber floors, Mc Quillans should have everything you need and then some so leave the plastic at home :D boys will be boys ;)

    someone I know laid a junckers floor a few years back and he invested in a good chop saw that he said made a huge difference.
    But seeing as all the cuts are at skirting its not important how nice the cuts are but I think for speed they are what you need.
