Are you renovating your floors or building a new home? Choosing a floor can be a daunting task. There are so many flooring options on the market, from timber to bamboo, to tiles and vinyl. Expert advice to guide you through the process will ensure a result you will be happy with for years.
Flooring has a big impact on the style and design of your home, and the functionality of the space. Hard floors are more suited to high traffic areas, while carpet is often the choice for bedrooms. These decisions cab depend on where you live and your stage of life. A flooring specialist, who is knowledgeable in both interior design and the installation process can help you make informed, economical decisions that guarantee you the perfect floor for your space.
Choosing the right flooring specialist is the first and possibly most important decision you’ll make. To help you find the best option for you, we’ve put together this list of the top flooring specialists in the Canberra region.
What makes a great flooring specialist?
Let’s explore some of the key factors to think about when choosing a flooring specialist in Canberra.
- Wide range of products and services. Look out for a flooring company that offers the widest range possible. Do they stock the latest products? Do they offer eco-friendly innovations? A comprehensive showroom allows you to see your floor in person and get an idea of what it will look like in your home. Also, keep an eye out for what services they provide beyond just the installation, such as free measure and quote services or floor preparation and underlay before the installation of the product.
- Expert advice. An experienced flooring specialist will guide you towards the best possible solution for your space, while appreciating your unique taste and requirements. A specialist that takes a floor-up approach to designing your space, shows their expertise in ensuring that the functionality and aesthetic of your space are balanced.
- Quality of installation. Poor installation can impact the look of your floor and its performance over time. Look for a company that uses reliable, experienced installers, and offers warranties and quality guarantees on their installation. Don’t be afraid to ask to see examples of their work.
- Price. Buying a floor is a major purchase. Once you choose your floor, take the time to get a few quotes. Keep in mind that price isn’t everything: reliability and service are important, too.
- Reliability. When renovating or building, delays cause frustration and can cost money. It’s important that contractors show up on schedule. Make it clear from the start that you expect reliable service.

Carpet Factory had cheaper “wholesale” flooring options than the retailers listed here. You should definitely check them out. I think people do not realise it is a store in Canberra because it is in warehouse down a long driveway next to Watsons blinds. They had higher quality hybrid flooring at almost half the price of other retailers. Carpet tiles and timber flooring was also cheap and was there in stock to actually see on site. We went with their luxury vinyl planks because our floor was flat and clean and it seemed like the best solution for our budget. We saved a lot of money and are very happy with the result. They installed it for us and did a great job. Also got some carpet tiles for the work shop. They were literally half the price of other stores and easy enough to self install. The sales guy there was very helpful also on DIY advice…
