Carpet and flooring in Heidelberg
Heidelberg sits along the Yarra Valley about 12 km north-east of the CBD, in the City of Banyule, with the Yarra Flats and Warringal wetlands on its eastern side. It’s about 21 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Its shops run along Burgundy Street to the station, near the Austin Hospital, and many interwar homes stand on large blocks in Queen Anne, Californian bungalow and Mediterranean styles.
If you’re planning to stay in your home for the long term, floors that stay easy underfoot are worth thinking about now.
Floors that are easy at any age
- Dense, low-pile carpet is comfortable and warm but firm enough that walking frames and wheelchairs roll easily. Very deep or plush pile is harder going.
- Fewer trip points: where carpet meets a hard floor, we fit a trim to make the change as smooth as possible.
- Hard floors such as hybrid are easy to keep clean and steady underfoot; a matt surface helps avoid glare.
- Rugs: loose rugs are a common trip hazard. Wall-to-wall carpet gives the softness without the loose edges.
- One trip for the measure: the mobile showroom comes to you, so there’s no need to visit a store.

Heidelberg flooring FAQs
Which carpet is best with a walking frame?
A dense, low loop or short cut pile over a firm underlay. It’s easier to push across than a deep pile, and it still feels soft.
Can you move the furniture for us?
Yes. We move furniture for $8/m² of floor, and put it back once the new floor is down.
Can we do one room at a time?
Yes. Jobs under 20 m² have a $450 small-job charge, so grouping two rooms often works out better, but we can work in whatever order suits you.
