Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Jul 06, 2010 10:51 am I recently visited 2 new display homes in Plenty River Views in Doreen/Mernda and really liked the carpet in one of them - I asked the salesperson who they used for carpets and she informed us that she is not told and that if we build with PD Hopetoun will tell us. I am not building with PD and Kek suggested I just go to Hopetoun as it is open to the public to look at on the weekends. I rang Hopetoun to ask the question hoping to save me a trip and she stated that they use commercial carpets in display homes and they would not be on display at Hopetoun. Just wondering if anyone out there knows who they use for their display home carpets, everyone knows everything on this forum and would love to know. Any assistance appreciated.

The thing is, what is it about the carpets that you liked? Can you describe the carpet? Carpets the same or similar may be readily available anyway, without a wild goose chase with builders who have no interest in helping you. Ash. Re: PD Display Home Carpet 3Jul 06, 2010 1:11 pm Hi Ash, Thanks for your reply, I have been looking at carpets for a while now and have been to all carpet stores and have not seen this particular carpet, I am kicking myself now that I did not take a photograph and I will have to go back and take one as I am not sure if I can describe it properly, but is has squares in it - I would call it a textured carpet, but not the small squares that are out there at the moment, the squares are approx 3cm square which is slightly raised. I took my shoe off and it felt soft under foot so I am guessing a solution dyed nylon as some of the prop carpets I have felt feel 'hard'.

When I inquire with Hopetoun, I was told that they used commercial carpet in their display homes and no other further information. Hope this helps Re: PD Display Home Carpet 5Jul 07, 2010 12:32 pm Thanks Glock, yes that's what they told me it's a commercial carpet, so am trying to check internet sites to see if I can see the same pattern.
