Flooring for Port Melbourne homes
Port Melbourne is about 3 km from our Docklands showroom. It has a real mix of homes: new apartments, townhouses, and older cottages and terraces. The right floor depends a lot on which of these you live in.
The homes we see in Port Melbourne
- Apartments, both new buildings and older converted ones, where the floor is usually a concrete slab and the building has rules.
- Townhouses, with stairs and bedrooms upstairs, where we often see a hard floor downstairs and carpet upstairs.
- Older cottages and terraces, where the floor may be timber boards on a raised frame and the old floor can be uneven.
What to plan for in Port Melbourne
- Apartment buildings need owners corporation approval and lift bookings, the same as in Docklands.
- In an older house we check the old floor first. If the boards are uneven or the underfloor is damp, that has to be sorted before a new floor goes down.
- Many homes here are close to the bay, so a floor that handles damp air and wet feet well is a sensible choice for entrances and laundries.
Floors that suit Port Melbourne homes
- Nouvelle Acoustic hybrid
An acoustic hybrid plank. It suits apartments, where the floor has to stay quiet for the neighbours below.
- Airlay Alpine vinyl planks
Luxury vinyl planks that cope well with spills, for kitchens, laundries and busy rooms.
- Godfrey Hirst Sixth Avenue carpet
Soft, quiet carpet for bedrooms and lounges.
