Flooring supplied and installed across Sydney's inner west
Engineered timber, hybrid, laminate and carpet for homes in Strathfield, Burwood, Concord, Five Dock, Drummoyne, Haberfield, Leichhardt, Balmain and Rozelle. We measure and quote for free, in writing, and our regular installers lay the floor, stairs included. Herringbone and chevron floors are our speciality.
Our showroom is inside Domayne Auburn at 111 Station Road, a straight run along Parramatta Road from most of the inner west.
Herringbone laid by our installers. The old glued-down spotted gum had to come up first, then every block was cut to meet the travertine tiles.
What inner west homes usually need
A lot of the housing between Strathfield and Balmain is older: Federation houses, semis and terraces, many with the original timber boards on joists. Those boards are rarely flat after a century, and a new floor laid straight over them shows every hump. So the free measure starts with the subfloor. We check it for level and for movement, and any levelling or patching goes into the written quote before you agree to anything.
Before and after in one hallway: the blue patches are filler that evens out dips and joins, then the planks run the full length.
Terraces and semis also tend to have narrow, steep stairs. We clad stairs in the same timber-look floor as the rest of the house with a nosing on every step, so the staircase matches the rooms it joins instead of staying as the last patch of carpet.
Grey carpet off, grey timber-look planks and a nosing on every step.
Pattern floors for period homes
Herringbone and chevron suit the high ceilings and long hallways of older inner west houses. We supply engineered timber herringbone and chevron with a real timber wear layer, plus herringbone hybrid when the room needs something more water-tolerant, such as a kitchen. At the measure we set out the pattern for your rooms so it finishes balanced at the walls rather than in a thin sliver.
See full boards before you choose at our Auburn showroom, inside Domayne Auburn at 111 Station Road. Open 7 days from 10am to 6pm, and until 7pm on Thursdays.
Laying it yourself or using your own installer? Everything above is also sold supply only. Collect from Auburn or arrange delivery, and ask us anything along the way.
Questions we get from inner west homeowners
Can you lay a new floor over the old floorboards?
Often, yes, if the boards are sound and can be brought level. If they cannot, the quote will say what has to happen first. We check this at the free measure rather than guessing over the phone.
How far do you travel?
The free measure and quote covers metro Sydney. Every inner west suburb is a short run from Auburn along Parramatta Road.
Do you do the stairs as well?
Yes. Stairs are measured at the same visit and priced step by step in the written quote.

I recently purchased rugs from Adore Rugs and couldn't be happier with my experience. The team was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process, making it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. On top of that, their prices are fantastic compared to other places I've looked. As a repeat customer, I can confidently say that Adore Rugs consistently delivers quality and great service. Highly recommended.
Love the colour and the length only flaw would be that I can not take the curl out of it still, tried ironing, leaving it upside down, placing items in the corners,but nothing works.
Customer service was amazing as I had to call for an inquiry after ordering.
Have ordered in the past and have always had great products and service. Thank you.

I found a rug on the internet that I had to have., however it was not available in the size I wanted :( I decided to call Adore Rugs and Flooring (smart move) The lovely gentleman that took my call contacted me within 10 minutes to deliver the good news that he had tracked one down for me. It was on my doorstep less than 48 hours of ordering.
I love the look of my lounge now and just can’t recommend Afore enough. They go above and beyond to help to deliver cattle what you want.
