Flooring for Belgrave South homes
Belgrave South sits in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, south of Belgrave and next to Belgrave Heights, Lysterfield, Narre Warren East and Selby. It’s about 24 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Once large farms and estates, with a primary school dating from 1907, it now has a small shopping area, a recreation reserve and nearby bushland reserves.
Many homes here have open-plan living with high ceilings, which can make a room echo.
Reducing echo in open-plan rooms
- Why it happens: hard floors, high ceilings and large windows all reflect sound, so voices and footsteps bounce around.
- Carpet absorbs it: carpet over a good underlay in bedrooms, the study and the stairs makes the whole home quieter.
- Rugs in the living area: a large rug under the sofa and coffee table softens sound without giving up the hard floor.
- Choose a quieter hard floor: hybrid has an attached underlay, and the 9.7mm has the highest acoustic rating of our hybrids. Glued engineered timber also sounds solid underfoot.

Belgrave South flooring FAQs
Will carpet in the bedrooms help the living area?
Yes. Less hard surface overall means less echo, especially in homes where the bedrooms open off the living area.
Is glued timber quieter than floating?
Underfoot, yes: glued boards feel and sound more solid. Floating floors can sound a little more hollow.
Do you travel to the hills for measures?
Yes. Belgrave South is within our service area, and the mobile showroom brings the samples to you.
