No matter how much attention you give to selecting your furniture and paint colours, it's your choice of flooring that will set the tone for your home's interior. For many contemporary homes, that choice will be a hard surface, such as wood, honed concrete or tiles.

At this point, you need to consider ways to soften the impact of these hard surfaces. Natural fibre flooring from Advance Flooring can provide texture and visual warmth. It can also help keep noise levels down inside your home.

Natural fibres include sisal, from the flax-like sisal plant, and coir, from coconut husks. These have been used to weave flooring products for many generations.

Today the fibres are woven into rugs of many different patterns and weaves, and there is even a new wool-sisal blend. Each rug is customised to your size, design and colour requirements. You can also choose from more than 190 borders and bindings made from textiles such as jute, leather, cotton and tapestry.

All the flooring is latex-backed and rugs have an anti-slip backing to resist movement and improve safety. The top is surface-treated with FibreTec stain inhibitor, which helps make the flooring easy to maintain. All Advance Flooring products are also subject to a nine-point quality inspection to ensure yarn structure and colour consistency is up to standard.
