Cheap temporary flooring

edrushuk

Good afternoon everyone,

I am moving into a flat next week. It is the ground floor of an Victorian type house. I am planning to get the front room, bedroom and hallway done in wood laminate, but need to save up for about 6 months to do so.
Therefore I am looking for something to put on my floors temporarily. The floors are basic wooden ones, in not too good condition, lots of spliters. I have looked on gumtree for remnants but they are still a little too expensive for my size rooms, and have no luck on Freecycle, but I am still hoping.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

Thank you

Susanna

Give them a quick sand and paint them. It's not worth putting any thing down for 6 months. That time will pass really quickly. A couple of cheap rugs over the top will add colour and Warmth.

Hi ya Phil, never thought of sanding them down as the have gaps in them. Also I dont drive, so the cost of hiring out a sander started getting expensive.

I am hoping to get some rugs of freecycle I think that is the way to go.

Thanks for the email

Susanna
