Hi Michelle, We are in the early stages of choosing a colour to paint our house. We will be getting it rendered and then painted, The colour I'm really liking at the moment is Dulux Ghosting. We would use that as our main wall colour, the roof would be Monument and the windows would be some kind of...

Hi @Michelle What are your thoughts on a product like https://abbeytimber.com.au/collections/australian-species-engineered-flooring/products/resistance-hardfloor-eco-blackbutt-engineered-flooring? I was hesitant due to the extremely thin wood layer (0.6mm). The sales staff were quite insistent that...

I don't know the product. In my book, the thicker the layer the better.

Hi Michelle, Maybe a bit of an odd question... The Rigid Hybrid Core we have been looking at all have pretty much the same surface finish - a pretty much matt finish. Some quote it as embossed. Is there anything out there that has a bit of a gloss/satin finish? Not really, matt is the currant surfa...

Hi Michelle Thanks for the quick reply, your guidance and patience is appreciated. Looking at Karndean Looselay Longboa...

Hi Sorry to be late in on this, we have existing Kardean floorboards and we are about to start some renos and was wondering if anyone knew the best way to remove the glue from the back and then store the planks so we may re-use most of them?? All I know is, we use a heat gun to soften the glue and ...

Hi Michelle, We have been looking more intently now - I've been pleasantly surprised about pricing so far. Mostly we have looked at the hybrid (with interlock, 0.5mm wear later and built in underlay) but have seen a few luxury vinyl planks (to glue down). Audacity have both and some info we found i...

What would you recommend for a pet friendly timber or engineered timber floor? To minimise scratches, and if scratched occur, have them be less visible. We're thinking a light colour wood, but should we be trying to get the hardest wood we can afford or do they not make much of a difference? We wil...

Hi all/Michelle - what's everyone's experience on carpet installers vacuuming after install? Is it unheard of? Or reasonable expectation? Thanks Good morning, yes, this one has been the question of installers for years. We have only just last year made our installers do the vacuuming when they have...

I haven't had anyone tell me their Hybrid flooring is moving and making noises, its extremely ridged. Any flooring with a locking system needs to have a fairly level sub floor. 3mm sounds about right. Did you install the floor or was it done by the store where you bough it?[/quote] Hi Michelle, yes ...
