Blue Tongue Carpets
– Northern Beaches Flooring Centre
Winter is here – and with the change of weather often comes a
change in the look and feel of our favourite rooms. Although
carpet is a lovely, soft and cosy option for the bedrooms, timber
floors and the many timber look-alike products are on-trend
for living and family areas. For some there is no alternative to
a beautiful, natural oak floor but for an ever-increasing number
of savvy buyers, the new generation of loose-lay vinyl planks
and tiles are the product of choice. They offer a long list of
advantages: a large variety of timbers, travertine, marble,
brushed concrete and more, with less to spend. (There are
dozens of poor quality copies around, so do your homework.)
The latest advancement comes from Karndean with their new,
mega-size Longboard range. You can view their entire range
plus other big-name brands in the newly furbished showroom.
Stephan, Bryan and Ian are always happy to help out with
samples and friendly advice. “We are the Northern Beaches
centre for flooring, with all of your indoor and outdoor needs
covered,” says Stephan. P: 9979 7292
