    American Beadboard, Question for you guys

    I know you guys can get it pretty much everywhere.
    I need:
    a) prices

    and also:

    b) What is the cheapest way to ship something like that to Europe? How do you guys send things like that and what does it cost?

    c) anybody around Forumville, that is in the business?

    To be more precise here:
    Before I went on vacation I was busy with a house.
    Needed beadbord kits to make the big fukking floor look perfect, we decided it would fit well with the medium white Travertin stones.
    The Travertin wasn't a problem at all. Plenty of shops for it.
    But the beadbord..... Fukk me, what a grind. Basically no German online shops at all. Let alone finding it in a building supplies store or anything. Forget it.
    The 2 German online shops are basically a major rip off. I know what you guys are paying for it in your stores. Some shops do ship to Germany, but that is real expensive.
    It amazes me, that there are basically no reliable, good, quality German online shops for it. It's not like Germans don't like it or won't buy it. But they won't buy it, when there is no good option available to do that for a reasonable price. Pretty much a niche in the market here till now.

    That Chinese shit is awful. I don't know how popular beadboard is in Germany but IMO wainscoting millwork looks really good around backsplash in bathrooms. I hate it wrapped around an entire room though.

    But what do you mean about the floors? Are you trying to match a floor?

    We are done with that one. Paid pretty much for it, but the house needed to be done.
    I'm only asking for the future.
    Plus: We have to do some calculations and need to gather further information, but: If we find a guy that buys the shit for us in the states and ships it here the cheapest way, we might open a little shop online just to try it out. Because a) the options available are laughably overprized, b) the people here would happily buy at a shop that is even only 5 bucks cheaper than the massively overprized shops and c) wainscoting is coming up big time here. All the big interior design magazines here show it all the time.

    Rubber: What we did was something like that:

    in the entrance hall and guarding the steps upstairs, combined with Travertin like that:


    Looks perfect, I'm not near it this week, will add a photo this weekend or beginning of next week.

    Thanks pal

    Especially proud of that one. Wasn't too easy to find such an old wooden beam. Eventually we found a guy that sells all kind of stuff from old houses who had one.
    We wanted to "break" the clean look with something like that. I like it very much. We designed it so, that guests are able to put their jackets etc on it, to use it like a coatrack.
