CONCORD FLOORS



We supply flooring: laminate, hybrid, bamboo, floating timber and solid timber, vinyl plank


The most popular flooring in a home is hard flooring that is warm to walk on and preferrably soft as well. These are the comfort factors that consumers take into account when purchasing a floor. Gone are the days of cold ceramic tiles.

With MDF laminate, bamboo, engineered laminate floating timber flooring and solid timber, the surface is both hard and warm.

With hybrid and vinyl plank flooring the surface is both warm and soft (softer that the others). But if the vinyl plank flooring is glued to the concrete slab, and if the concrete slab moves and developes crazed cracking lines it can crack the vinyl plank flooring that is on top of it. Nobody wants that. The big advantage of hybrid flooring is it floats on top of the slab (it is not glued to it) so the concrete slab can crack and the hybrid flooring will not be affected. So here we have hit the sweet spot with the consumers.

The subfloor is a concrete slab which was diamond ground followed by the installation of moisture resistant plywood. The floor preparation was substantial making such flooring out of the subfloor floor preparation of most people.

Roughly the cost of the underlay and labour adds approximately $50.00 per square metre on top of the cost of the vinyl planks and their installation cost.

The second important matter under a consumers consideration is the cost of the different floorings in relation to each other. The cheapest is MDF laminate, followed by engineered laminate floating timber flooring, vinyl plank flooring, hybrid flooring and lastly solid timber flooring.

With the cost of all this flooring one must take into account whether any floor preparation must be done first prior to the installatin of the actual flooring. The cost of any such floor preparation can be substantial.

The quality of the flooring installation is largely dependent on the subfloor floor preparation. Will the flooring slightly move and bounce when you walk on it? Will it make a swishing noise when you walk on it? Will the locking mechanism break when you walk on it?

It pays to deal with experts who have been (and are) flooring installers, when buying your flooring and not salesmen (in suits and ties) who have never installed flooring with all due respect to them. I have seen so many of their disgruntled customers.

There are flooring retailers who I would descibe as "supermarket-style retailers". A supermarket sells you the food which you take home and then you do your own cooking of this food, unassisted by the supermarket. With flooring shops that are supermarket-style retailers there prime concern is to sell you the flooring (all retailers are guilty of that), but not to be concerned with installing the product, (no cooking duties for the supermarket thank you). They hand you over to an independent contractor. This contractor works for you, and not for them, and you pay him directly. He is supposed to supply you with his own warranty on his work. GOOD LUCK IN GETTING HIM BACK FOR REPAIRS TO HIS FAULTY WORK. The supermarket-style retailers do not stand behind their contractors work.

CONCORD FLOORS is not a supermarket-style retailer and organises the the installation, the contractors work for us and we pay them and the installation work is warranted by us. This forces us to give you the proper advice in the beginning as to which materials to buy, use tradesmen who perform well on there work, and we give you a warranty on the installation work and the manufacturers supply the warranty on their products. So you are completely covered and can rest in peace and not have a nightmare experience as so many people do.
