Flooring for Lysterfield homes
Lysterfield sits beside Lysterfield Lake and its park, between Rowville, Ferntree Gully and Lysterfield South, about 18 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. It was mostly rural until the 1990s, and the housing estates built in the 2000s on its western side, next to Rowville, now sit alongside farmland.
As families grow, garages and outbuildings are often turned into extra living space.
Converting a garage into a room
- The slab: garage floors are often lower than the house, sloped towards the door and marked with oil. The floor needs to be cleaned, checked and levelled before a new floor goes down; preparation is quoted at the measure.
- The step into the house: if the garage floor stays lower, your builder will usually raise it or keep a step. Either way, a trim finishes the join at the doorway.
- Floor choice: carpet makes a warm rumpus room or bedroom; hybrid or 5mm vinyl plank suits a home office or playroom that needs a wipe-clean surface.
- Building work first: walls, insulation and painting go in before the floor.

Lysterfield flooring FAQs
Can you price the conversion before the building work is finished?
Yes. Use the instant price guide for a rough figure from the plans. We then measure once the walls are up and the room is close to finished, so the quote is accurate.
What if the slab is damp?
A new floor shouldn’t go on a damp slab. We check the slab at the measure, and if moisture is a concern we’ll explain the options before quoting.
How much for a 20 m² room in hybrid?
As a guide, 20 m² of 7mm hybrid with the skirting removed and refitted comes to about $1,932, before floor preparation. Our hybrid price guide has more examples.
