Carpet and flooring in Hampton Park
Hampton Park sits 6 km south-east of Dandenong in the City of Casey, about 23 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. After the First World War it was sold as land for poultry farms and market gardens. Mains water arrived in 1961, a Housing Commission estate followed in the early 1970s, and the suburb grew east of Hallam Road through the 1980s and 90s.
In homes of that age, the kitchen is often the first room to be updated, and the floor goes with it.
Floors for the kitchen
- Hybrid resists water and wipes clean, which makes it a practical kitchen floor. It can run straight through to the living and dining areas.
- 5mm vinyl plank is a practical alternative, and it’s also fine in the laundry.
- Engineered timber works in a kitchen if spills are wiped up promptly.
- Laminate is best kept to dry rooms such as bedrooms and studies.
- Cabinets and appliances: floating floors are laid up to the kickboards, not under fixed cabinets. Tell us about the fridge and other freestanding appliances at the measure so we can plan around them.

Hampton Park flooring questions
Can you take up the old kitchen tiles?
Yes. Removing old ceramic tiles is quoted at the measure, along with any floor preparation the new floor needs.
Should the kitchen floor match the living room?
In an open-plan home, one floor through the kitchen, dining and living areas looks best and avoids trims across the room.
Is hybrid OK near the dishwasher and sink?
Yes. Hybrid resists water, so everyday splashes aren’t a problem. A leak that sits for a long time can still damage the subfloor, so fix leaks quickly.
