Editor's Note
This editor’s note highlights the key facts and market implications behind “Haydar Kolat Celebrates 20 Years as an Independe”, with emphasis on sourcing, product fit, fabrication, logistics, or buyer impact.
Haydar Kolat became a self-employed tile installer 20 years ago. To this day, he remains a passionate craftsman and is on construction sites as often as possible. Since its founding, his company Fliesen Kolat has continuously developed and grown. The most important step for the business came in 2020 with the opening of its own showroom at Egerstraße 4. Previously, the company headquarters were at Haydar Kolat's private address, where he also had a small warehouse. During that time, he worked almost exclusively on construction sites outside the county.
“With our own location here in Nordhorn, we are better positioned for the future and can establish a clearer presence here,” explains Haydar Kolat, giving the reasons for this investment. For him personally, it now means more time for his family.
In his showroom, he offers a large selection of tiles. Currently, large-format tiles that run from floor to ceiling are very popular. The installation of these requires very precise planning, according to the expert. For the customer, these formats have the advantage of being easier to clean because there are no grout lines. In addition to these XXL formats, tiles measuring 1 x 1 meter or 1.20 x 1.20 meters are also increasingly in demand.
“For a company like ours, it is important to always deliver good work,” he explains, outlining his philosophy. Currently, the focus is on renovation work, as the number of new builds overall is declining.
Kolat Fliesen cooperates with commercial clients and works closely with several businesses from other trades in the plumbing or electrical sectors. Furthermore, the specialist company maintains close contact with wholesalers from the building materials industry. Haydar Kolat is a certified master craftsman and also trains apprentices. He has brought his nephew Kubilay Kolat on board, who now works in the company as a journeyman. Additionally, two apprentices and one helper are currently employed. The new location with the showroom offers Haydar Kolat several advantages. On one hand, he can present the tiles in the showroom; on the other, it provides the opportunity to advise customers in a relaxed, personal atmosphere and show them design possibilities.
He places a main focus on good and coordinated planning. Especially in bathrooms, privacy plays a major role, which is why the choice of materials and the design influence the customers' sense of well-being. Haydar Kolat is very satisfied with the choice of location on Egerstraße. On one hand, there are several facilities and shops in the neighborhood that bring a lot of foot traffic, yet it is a very quiet and simultaneously central location.
