Our Carpet Installation Process
We keep the process simple and transparent so you know exactly what to expect.
- Measure and Quote: We visit your property to measure the area accurately and assess the subfloor. This ensures the quote is precise with no surprises on the day.
- Choose Your Carpet: We bring samples to your home, or you can visit our showroom. Our team will help you select the right carpet material, pile style, and colour for your space, lifestyle, and budget.
- Subfloor Preparation: A properly prepared subfloor is essential for a long-lasting result. We check for unevenness, moisture issues, and ensure a clean base before anything is laid.
- Carpet and Underlay Installation: We install the underlay first, then stretch and secure the carpet for a seamless, smooth finish. Underlay adds warmth, cushioning, and extends the life of your carpet.
- Clean Finish and Guarantee: Once installation is complete, we trim, tuck, and check every edge. You receive a 12-month installation guarantee from us as well as the manufacturer's warranty for the product.
Carpet Types We Install in Canberra
We supply and install a range of carpet types suited to different rooms, households, and budgets.
- Wool Carpet: Wool is a natural, renewable fibre that offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, which is well-suited to Canberra winters. Wool carpet feels soft underfoot, is naturally flame-retardant, and adds a luxurious finish to living areas and bedrooms.
- Solution-Dyed Nylon Carpet: Colour is locked in at the fibre level, making this one of the most fade-resistant options available. It handles heavy foot traffic well and is a popular choice for family homes with lots of natural light.
- PTT Carpet: Soft, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. PTT carpet is ideal for homes with children or pets. It bounces back well from compression and retains its appearance in high-use areas.
- Carpet Tiles: Carpet tiles offer flexibility in design and installation. Popular in commercial spaces and home offices, they can be replaced section by section if damaged, making them a cost-effective long-term option.

Why Carpet Works Well in Canberra Homes
Canberra's cold winters make carpet one of the most practical flooring choices for bedrooms and living areas. Carpet acts as natural insulation, helping to hold warmth in rooms and reduce heating costs. It also dampens noise between rooms and floors, which is useful in both family homes and apartment buildings.
For households with young children, carpet provides a safer and softer surface for play. For those with allergies, modern carpet fibres trap allergens at the surface where they can be vacuumed away, rather than allowing them to circulate in the air as hard flooring can.
If you are unsure whether carpet is the right choice for a particular room, our team is happy to advise. We can also help you compare carpet against our vinyl and laminate flooring options and show you what
mistakes to avoid when having carpets installed.
How Much Does Carpet Installation Cost in Canberra?
The cost of carpet installation in Canberra depends on the carpet material, room size, underlay selected, and any subfloor preparation required. As a general guide:
- Carpet supply: approximately $30 to $150 per square metre depending on fibre and grade
- Installation: approximately $25 to $50 per square metre
- Underlay: selected to match the carpet type and room use
Wool carpets sit at the higher end of the range, while synthetic options like nylon and PTT offer strong value at lower price points. We provide transparent, itemised quotes so you can compare clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does carpet installation take?
For most residential rooms, installation is completed in a single day. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer. On average, customers can expect the full process from measurement to completion to take around two weeks, allowing for scheduling and product lead times.
Do I need to move my furniture before carpet installation?
We recommend clearing the room where possible before our team arrives. For heavy or built-in items, speak with our team when booking and we can advise on options.
What underlay do you recommend for Canberra homes?
Underlay choice depends on the carpet type and the room's purpose. For bedrooms, a thicker, softer underlay adds comfort. For high-traffic areas, a firmer, more durable underlay is recommended. Our team will guide you through the right option during the quote visit.
Can you install carpet on stairs?
Yes. We install carpet on stairs and can advise on the most suitable pile style and fixing method to ensure a safe and durable result.
Do you remove old carpet before installation?
Yes, we can remove and dispose of old carpet as part of the installation service. Ask about this when requesting your quote so we can factor it into the price.
What carpet is best for Canberra winters?
Wool carpet is the warmest option and performs well in Canberra's cold climate. PTT and solution-dyed nylon are also good choices if you want a balance of warmth and ease of maintenance.
