Carpet and flooring in Pascoe Vale South
Pascoe Vale South lies just west of Coburg, from O’Hea Street to Moreland Road, with the Moonee Ponds Creek as its western boundary. It’s about 29 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. The War Service Homes Commission developed much of it in the 1920s, with streets named after First World War places, and 1950s houses filled in the rest.
When an older home is updated, the laundry and bathrooms raise the same question: which floors can go where?
Laundries, powder rooms and bathrooms
- Laundries and powder rooms: hybrid and 5mm vinyl plank both work well, and can run through from the hallway or kitchen.
- Bathrooms with a shower or bath: vinyl plank and hybrid can be laid, but we don’t recommend it, because water can get through the joins and edges to the subfloor. These rooms are usually tiled, and we don’t lay tiles.
- Sheet vinyl is for commercial jobs only, so we don’t lay it in home laundries or bathrooms.
- Laminate is for dry rooms only, and carpet never goes in a wet area.

Questions about flooring in Pascoe Vale South
Can the laundry floor match the kitchen?
Yes. Hybrid or vinyl plank can run from the kitchen straight into the laundry, with no change at the doorway.
What about a separate toilet?
A powder room or separate toilet is fine for hybrid or vinyl plank, because it doesn’t have a shower or bath.
Do you lay carpet in the bedrooms of older homes?
Yes. Carpet goes over the original boards on gripper strips and new underlay; we check the boards at the measure.
