Carpet for Homes
When selecting carpet for your home, comfort, appearance and long-term performance are usually top priorities. We supply a wide range of wool and solution dyed nylon (SDN) options that provide softness, warmth and colour choices to suit any interior style. Our experienced carpet installers can help you choose the right blend of feel, durability and practicality for bedrooms, lounges, stairs and busy family spaces.
Carpet for Rentals
For investment properties, we provide practical, cost-effective options designed to handle higher foot traffic and tenant turnover. Darker, more forgiving tones in solution dyed nylon (SDN) or other synthetic fibres work well because they resist stains, fade less, and tend to look tidy for longer. If you’re refreshing a rental, we’ll guide you to the most economical and durable carpet for rentals, ensuring the property stays presentable without overspending.
Carpet for Pre-Sale Upgrades
New carpet is one of the fastest ways to freshen a home before selling. Neutral, modern tones create a clean, move-in-ready feel and can significantly improve first impressions. We offer a range of affordable, stylish carpets ideal for pre-sale upgrades — helping you lift the value of your home before you sell. Our quick carpet installation service ensures minimal disruption when you're on a selling deadline.
Garage Carpet (Godfrey Hirst Garafloor)
For garages, workshops, home gyms and utility spaces, we supply and install Gara-brand garage carpet from Godfrey Hirst. This solution-dyed polyester carpet (available in grey/black, 4 m wide) is designed specifically for high-traffic areas and hard-wearing environments. Garage carpet instantly improves the appearance of a garage, making it cleaner, warmer, quieter and safer underfoot. It’s easy to maintain, provides excellent traction, and helps turn your garage into a more comfortable, multi-purpose space.

Carpet types - finding the best fit for your home, garage or rental property
Different spaces benefit from different carpet fibres. Here’s an overview of what the major suppliers offer:
Wool Carpet
As seen across Godfrey Hirst and Feltex ranges, wool is a natural, renewable fibre known for warmth, insulation, softness and long-lasting durability. Wool is also naturally flame-resistant and helps regulate humidity. It’s ideal for living rooms and bedrooms, although it generally comes at a higher price point than synthetic options.
Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN)
SDN carpets — offered widely by Godfrey Hirst, Feltex and Belgotex — are popular for their fade resistance, stain resistance and ability to withstand everyday wear. Because the colour is built into the fibre, SDN performs exceptionally well in sunny, busy or spill-prone environments. It’s an excellent choice for family homes, hallways and high-traffic areas.
Other Synthetic Fibres
Providers like Belgotex, Robert Malcolm and Euroflor also offer carpet options made from other engineered fibres designed for resilience, colour stability, and affordability. These carpets are practical for rentals, secondary rooms, and cost-effective upgrades where durability is key.
The importance of quality underlay
A good underlay makes a noticeable difference to the performance and feel of your carpet. It adds softness underfoot, improves insulation and acoustic comfort, and helps extend the life of the carpet by absorbing everyday impact. We supply quality residential underlays suited to different room types, ensuring your carpet not only looks great but feels great too.
Underlay comes in different thicknesses, typically ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm, each offering varying levels of softness, insulation and support. Thicker underlay generally provides a more cushioned feel underfoot and better noise and heat insulation, while standard thicknesses still offer great performance for everyday residential spaces.

Yes — we supply and install Godfrey Hirst’s Gara garage carpet, a hard-wearing, practical option ideal for garages, workshops and home gyms.
Most residential carpets last 8–15 years, depending on the fibre type, foot traffic and how well it’s maintained. Wool and high-quality solution dyed nylon carpets tend to stay looking good for longer.
Most standard residential rooms can be installed in a few hours, while full-home installations usually take one to two days, depending on preparation, furniture movement and layout. Steve can give you a clear timeframe after measuring your space.
Low-profile loop piles or dense cut piles usually perform best in high-traffic areas. They show fewer footprints, resist crushing and wear more evenly over time. Steve can recommend the best options based on how busy your household is.
In most cases, yes. New carpet performs better and lasts longer when paired with fresh underlay. Old underlay can lose cushioning and support, reducing how the new carpet feels and wears over time.
