Flooring in South Wharf
South Wharf is a small riverside precinct between the Yarra and the convention centre, with DFO South Wharf, hotels, offices and apartments, about 21 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom.
For offices, carpet tiles are a popular choice, and the way they’re laid changes the look.
Carpet tile layouts
- Monolithic: every tile faces the same way, for a seamless, broadloom-like look.
- Quarter-turn: each tile is turned 90° from its neighbour, giving a subtle checkerboard and hiding seams well.
- Brick or ashlar: rows are offset like brickwork, which suits linear designs and long corridors.
- Mixing colours: two or more colours can mark walkways or zones in an open-plan office.
Each range has recommended layouts, which we go through at the measure. We supply Airlay carpet tiles in 17 ranges, from $35 to $60/m², installed for $15/m² including adhesive. Compare tiles and broadloom in our carpet tiles vs broadloom guide.

South Wharf flooring questions
Which layout hides wear best?
Quarter-turn and random layouts disguise wear and seams best, because no two neighbouring tiles face the same way.
Do you lay floors in South Wharf apartments?
Yes. Carpet and hybrid for apartments, planned around lift bookings and building rules, with the 10% apartment charge on the installed price.
How many spare tiles should we keep?
A box or two from the same batch is usually enough to replace damaged tiles later without a colour mismatch.
