Flooring for Caulfield South homes
Caulfield South is centred on the Hawthorn Road shops, about 9 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Its streets mix Californian bungalows, Edwardian and interwar houses with low-rise blocks of interwar and post-war flats.
We also cover Hopetoun Gardens.
Flats and older apartment blocks
Caulfield South has many low-rise blocks of flats, where new floors come with a few extra things to think about:
- Body corporate rules on noise may require carpet or an acoustic underlay. Check before you choose a hard floor.
- Access: stairwells and narrow entries affect how rolls come in. Apartment and body corporate jobs in homes add 10% to the installed price.
- Small areas: jobs under 20 m² have a $450 small-job charge, so it’s often worth doing the whole flat at once.
In the bungalows and period houses, wool carpet in the bedrooms with engineered oak in the living areas is a classic pairing. See our timber flooring price guide for worked examples.
Why CarpetAce
We’re not like other flooring stores. In many stores the person who measures and quotes never lays a floor, and the job is handed to an installer on a work order. Tony Chalhoub, a carpet installer for more than 20 years, founded CarpetAce in 2010 so that every job is measured and quoted by people who know how to install it.
We’re family-owned, with more than 40 years in flooring, and rated 5.0 from more than 300 Google reviews.

Caulfield South flooring FAQs
Can you lay hybrid in an upstairs flat?
Often, yes, but check your body corporate’s rules on noise first. The 9.7mm Resiplank plank has a 6 Star acoustic rating. If the rules call for carpet, we’ll show you ranges that suit.
Is there a minimum job size?
No, but jobs under 20 m² have a $450 small-job charge, so it can make sense to include the hallway or a second room.
Can you measure in the evening?
We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, so an early-evening measure on a weekday is possible.
