Prospect's Bungalows: What Works and What Doesn't

The prospect’s housing stock consists mainly of character homes constructed before 1960. These homes have unique flooring needs that generic advice often overlooks.

Original timber boards under old carpet? It’s one of the most common discoveries in Prospect’s bungalows. Lifting the old carpet can show Baltic pine or hardwood boards. These need sanding, polishing, and a new coat. Restoring them costs less than replacing them. It keeps the home’s character and adds real charm to a valuable property.

Adding a rear extension or open-plan living area? The challenge is to match the new flooring with the original zones. You want to avoid any clear visual breaks. Engineered timber in warm Australian hardwood tones is the best choice. It flows in an uninterrupted manner from the heritage front rooms to the modern addition. They lay everything out in the same direction.
