Carpet and flooring in Hallam
Hallam sits on the Princes Highway 5 km east of Dandenong, in the City of Casey, between Eumemmerring Creek and the Monash Freeway to the north and the railway to the south. It’s about 22 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. It took its name from William Hallam’s 1856 store and hotel, homes spread from the north-west after the 1960s, and its shops are at Spring Square.
If your home has older laminate in the kitchen or living areas, it may be due for replacing.
Swapping old laminate for hybrid
- Why laminate wears out in kitchens: it doesn’t like water, so spills and mopping around the sink, dishwasher and back door can make the joins swell and lift.
- Why hybrid suits those rooms: it resists water and wipes clean, so it can run through the kitchen, laundry and living areas as one floor.
- The same installation price: hybrid and laminate both install at $28/m²; the 7mm, 8.5mm and 9.7mm hybrids are $45, $55 and $65/m².
- The old floor: taking up old laminate is quoted at the measure, and you choose the edge finish: skirting removed and refitted ($20/m²), scotia ($10/m²) or none.

Quoted by people who install
In many flooring stores, the person who measures your home never lays a floor, and the installer turns up with a work order that doesn’t tell the whole story. CarpetAce was set up to close that gap. Tony Chalhoub has been a carpet installer for more than 20 years and founded the business in 2010. Today we’re a family-owned team with more than 40 years in flooring, rated 5.0 from more than 300 Google reviews.
Questions about flooring in Hallam
Is laminate still worth laying anywhere?
Yes, in dry rooms. Laminate (about $40/m²) works well in bedrooms, studies and upstairs rooms away from water.
Which hybrid thickness should I choose?
All three suit homes. Thicker planks feel more solid underfoot, and the 9.7mm has the highest acoustic rating of our hybrids. We’ll compare them at the measure.
Will new hybrid be higher than the old floor?
It may be slightly different. If doors need trimming, we pick it up at the measure and include it in the quote.
