Set the tone with flooring

YOUR FLOOR IS THE LARGEST BLANK CANVAS IN YOUR HOME, SO CHOOSING THE RIGHT COVERINGS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. IT CAN HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL.

Whether you prefer timber, engineered or solid, or luxury vinyl, laminate or carpet, the team at Menadue Floor Coverings have you covered. Or maybe you want to try your hand at a bit of DIY — Menadues can also help you out with that.

Dimity and Leigh Strongman are experts in flooring and can provide advice on the current trends.

According to Dimity, timber is still on trend, with engineered timber starting to gain more momentum this year. This is due to its affordability and durability. ‘‘It is a floating floor, so it will move with your house if there is any movement, which means it will not crack or warp,’’ she said. ‘‘While engineered timber has been gaining popularity, vinyl and hybrid planks still remain the most commonly purchased flooring. ‘‘This is because it is affordable and suitable for everywhere in your home.’’ When it comes to bedrooms, carpet remains a popular choice. But maybe you are unsure of what type of carpet is best? Dimity says sales remain 50/50 with nylon and wool carpet, as both materials have great benefits. ‘‘Nylon is soft to touch, affordable and has good stain resistance,’’ she said. ‘‘While wool does have a larger price tag, it naturally repels stains, retains appearance for its lifetime and is fire resistant.’’

Another trend that has been gaining energy in the world of flooring is DIY floors.

‘‘People are having a go at DIY vinyl and hybrid plank floors. ‘‘It is cost saving and you can install in your own time.’’ So whether you are renovating or building your dream home from scratch, Dimity has a top tip for you. ‘‘Make sure you start in one area, make a selection and go from there, otherwise it can be a bit overwhelming.’’ For more expert advice on all your flooring needs, visit the friendly team at Menadue Floor Coverings at 58 Hardinge St, Deniliquin.
