Premium Flooring for Templestowe's Established Homes and Riverside Properties
Floor-by-floor expertise for Templestowe's double-storey homes — 9 km via Manningham Road
Templestowe is one of Manningham's most established suburbs — large blocks, mature gardens, and a housing mix that runs from period homes with original timber floors through to substantial 80s and 90s double-storey family homes. The flooring decision here is often as much about restoration as it is about renovation: where original timber upstairs is in good condition, sanding and re-coating to AS 4786.2 is typically a better outcome than replacement, and a much smaller spend. Where the floor is being fully refreshed, European Oak engineered hardwood through the downstairs living areas with Triexta or wool carpet in the bedrooms is the answer we recommend most often. Premium water-resistant laminate is a strong cost-effective alternative for ground-floor zones. We are 9 km away in Nunawading with team members who live in and around Templestowe.

Flooring for Templestowe's Established Homes
European Oak Engineered Hardwood
European Oak engineered hardwood is the headline answer for Templestowe's larger family homes — wide planks suit the room sizes, and direct-stick installation gives the acoustic performance these homes deserve.
Triexta & SDN Carpet
Godfrey Hirst Triexta carpet for bedrooms across both levels of Templestowe's double-storey homes — soft, stain-resistant, and a sensible match for family living.
Wool Carpet
Hycraft by Godfrey Hirst wool carpet for the master suite and formal lounge — natural fibre comfort and the premium feel that suits Templestowe's established homes.
Water-Resistant Laminate
Premium water-resistant laminate — aluminium oxide wear layer, strong UV stability, and the smart cost-effective hard floor for Templestowe ground-floor living. Often the better technical specification than hybrid.
Hybrid Flooring
Water-resistant SPC hybrid as a value option for ground-floor zones — MVB always specified as standard. A practical option but not our first recommendation in this price bracket.
Rugs
Anchor living and family rooms with statement rugs — available in-showroom to complement hardwood and carpet selections.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most important questions to answer before spending any money on flooring in a period Templestowe home, and in many cases the answer is restore rather than replace. Original Tasmanian Oak and Victorian Ash strip floors can typically be sanded and recoated two to four times across their service life under AS 4786.2, provided enough timber remains above the fixing groove. A professional assessment of the floor's remaining thickness — which we can arrange — will determine whether sanding and recoating is viable. The cost is typically a fraction of replacement, and the result is a floor that suits the home's period character in a way that new products rarely replicate. We can recommend qualified timber floor restoration specialists if sanding is the right path.
The double-storey 80s and 90s Templestowe homes need a floor-by-floor approach: hybrid on either level needs an MVB as a manufacturer warranty condition, and on the upstairs suspended floor we also assess structural condition — whether it flexes, squeaks, or has soft spots — before specifying the new floor. Our typical recommendation is European Oak engineered hardwood through the downstairs living areas with Triexta or wool carpet upstairs in the bedrooms. Premium water-resistant laminate is a strong cost-effective alternative for the ground floor where the budget calls for it.
Yes, meaningfully. In a 4-metre-wide room, a standard 190 mm board produces roughly 20 visible board widths across the floor, which reads as a texture. A 220 mm or 240 mm board reduces that to 16 or 17 widths and allows the grain to read as individual planks. For Templestowe's larger double-storey homes, we generally recommend at least a 210–220 mm plank for ground-floor living areas, and we carry European Oak in the wider profiles needed to make this recommendation real.
Yes. We supply and install flooring throughout both Templestowe and Templestowe Lower. Templestowe Lower has its own page on our website because the housing stock and current renovation/rebuild dynamics there are different to Templestowe proper. Both suburbs are approximately 8–9 km from our Nunawading showroom and well within our regular installation area.
