Flooring for Ferntree Gully homes
Ferntree Gully sits at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, between Boronia, Knoxfield and Upper Ferntree Gully, about 21 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Its streets climb towards the hills, and many homes from the 1970s and 80s were built on sloping blocks.
We also cover Mountain Gate.
Split levels, steps and landings
Homes built into a slope often have a few steps between living areas, a half-level to the bedrooms or a landing partway up the stairs. Each change of level needs thought:
- Carpet wraps over each step for a soft, quiet finish. We measure every step and landing at the measure.
- Hybrid and vinyl plank have matching stair nosings, so short flights can follow the same floor as the living area.
- Landings and level changes are where floors meet, so we plan the trims and where carpet stops and hard floor starts.
See our stair carpet page for more on stairs.

Questions about flooring in Ferntree Gully
How much carpet does a staircase need?
About 13 m² for a 16-step staircase. Landings and winders are measured on site.
Is carpet or hybrid better on steps?
Carpet is softer and quieter underfoot. On hybrid or vinyl plank steps, the matching nosings give each step a clear, defined edge.
Can you get materials up a steep driveway?
Yes. Access is part of the measure, so we plan how carpet rolls and boxes reach the house.
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.
