Carpet

Carpet provides the foundation for the rest of your surroundings. Nothing beats the luxurious feel & warmth provided by carpet. There are many styles & fibres to choose from. Our experienced staff can help guide you in the right direction to find the perfect floor covering that suits your individual needs

The most popular trend nowadays in Carpet is Solution Dyed Nylon (in a Twist Pile) It’s easy to clean, won’t fade if you have direct light coming in, won’t pill or fluff (so it’s good for allergy sufferers). This Carpet also has a 15 year wear warranty. The dark grey colour is very popular with families with Pets.

Performance

Different qualities of carpet will perform at different levels.

To narrow down your carpet selection, there are a number of factors you need to take into consideration to help find a product that best suits your needs – What kind of ‘traffic’ will your carpet endure? What style & texture would best suit your situation? Do you have pets?

The Carpet Institute of Australia have created a grading system known as the Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS) which tests and rates carpets based on their results. This is the most widely used grading system – however there are others in the marketplace. You will find gradings on the back of samples. They give you a very clear indication as to what level of durability each carpet will deliver so your selection is made easier.

Colour

The colour palettes available today are wide and varied

Choice of colour can create different moods, feelings and perceptions in your home. For example – shades of blue and green are often perceived as cooling, soothing and calming, light colours give areas a more spacious appearance, whilst darker colours give these areas a more cosy feeling. For more information on colour selection visit our interactive room decorator section in this site or speak to us here at Diamond Valley Carpets.

Timber Laminate

Today, laminate flooring provides you with the realistic look of wood at an affordable price. Like carpets, and most things in life, there are significant differences in price depending on the quality. Click or self locking profiles, are the most popular. Important questions to ask that will assist you to determine the quality of a laminate floor are; How thick is the board? How wear resistant, scratch resistant, indentation resistant is the surface?

Weathered Oak

Bamboo

The latest in Bamboo flooring is a tri colour called Australiana.

One of our most popular durable hard flooring is Bamboo. Bamboo is environmentally sustainable. Harvested from managed bamboo forests every 5 or 6 years. It is a solid stable hardwood. Easy to clean and maintain. Bamboo is 99.5% Termite resistant ( with No Toxic Fumes) The boards are prefinished and can be resanded at a later stage. Strand Woven Bamboo is the second hardest flooring on the planet. Harder than all Australian hardwood timbers. Scratch resistant( but care should be taken with all hardflooring e.g. high heels or dragging heavy furniture). Bamboo is a flooring that will last a long time.

Timber Floating Floor

Timber floating floor is real timber which comes prefinished with six layers of mid gloss acrylic coating for scratch resistance. Floor can be walked on immediately after installation avoiding time consuming sanding and polishing of solid timbers. These floors can be lightly sanded and recoated further down the track if the need arises.

Laminate Floating Floor

Laminate Floating Floor is a Synthetic timber look floor that is more durable than timber. Can be walked on immediately after installation and does not require any coatings
Both Timber and Laminate Floating floors are suitable for Kitchen, Living, Bedrooms & Hallways.

The only areas that do not suit Timber and Laminate floating floors are Bathrooms, Toilets or Laundries.

Carpet Tiles

The floor, which makes the base of an indoor space, plays the key role in bringing nature into the space, making it biophilic and capitative. When carpet tiles are used in such space, people would experience enhanced creativity, and feel more restorative.
