Flooring Rye
Rye · 3941 · Mornington Peninsula
There is no single right floor for Rye — it depends entirely on the building. Front-beach holiday houses and a growing number of permanent rebuilds. Softwood in the older holiday stock; slab or engineered subfloor in the rebuilds.
We supply and install timber, engineered and hybrid flooring across Rye and the wider Mornington Peninsula, working from our Frankston base. Every job starts with a free measure and quote on site, because a floor plan tells you the area but not the condition.
WHAT’S UNDER THE FLOOR IN RYE
Front-beach holiday houses and a growing number of permanent rebuilds.
Softwood in the older holiday stock; slab or engineered subfloor in the rebuilds. That matters because it determines your options. A sound timber subfloor opens up direct-stick and nailed installation; a slab means floating or direct-stick with the right adhesive; a subfloor with moisture problems needs that resolved first, or a waterproof product that sidesteps the issue entirely.
The front-beach streets fill completely over summer and sit empty much of winter.
90–140m². We measure every job rather than working off averages, but that’s the range most Rye homes fall into.

LOCAL FACTORS THAT CHANGE THE RECOMMENDATION
Salt-laden air is the constant here. It carries indoors on shoes and settles on surfaces, and over years it works at any finish that isn’t specified for it. Strong coastal light through large windows is the other factor — solvent-based finishes amber noticeably under that kind of UV exposure, while modern water-based systems hold their tone. Sand is the third: it’s abrasive, it gets tracked in every day through summer, and it’s the reason we push harder-wearing surfaces on this side of the Peninsula than we do inland.
Heavy summer occupancy and sand traffic. Floors here take more punishment in three months than most take in a year.

WHAT WORKING WITH US LOOKS LIKE
Free measure and quote. We come to you, measure properly, check the subfloor, and talk through what will and won’t work in your house. No obligation and no pressure.
Supply. Once you’ve chosen, we order through our trade accounts and coordinate delivery. Timber is acclimatised on site before installation — this isn’t optional, particularly in Rye where conditions can shift quickly.
Installation. Our installers handle subfloor preparation, the install itself, trims and transitions, and the clean-up. Work is completed to Australian Standards.
Aftercare. We’ll tell you how to look after it — which is usually simpler than people expect, and mostly about grit control at the door.
ALREADY HAVE TIMBER FLOORS IN RYE?
If the boards under your carpet are worth saving, sanding and polishing them is usually cheaper than replacing them — and we do that too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you supply and install, or supply only?
Both. We supply the flooring and install it, which means one point of contact for the whole job rather than coordinating a supplier and an installer separately.
What flooring suits a Rye home best?
It depends on the house, but as a general steer, a durable surface that survives a summer of sandy feet and still looks right in March. We’d want to see the subfloor before making a firm recommendation.
How much does flooring cost in Rye?
It varies with area, product and subfloor condition, so we quote rather than list prices. As a rough guide for job size: 90–140m². The free measure gives you a firm number.
How long does installation take?
Most residential jobs run two to four days depending on area and subfloor preparation. We’ll give you a timeframe with the quote.
Do you offer a free measure and quote?
Yes, across Rye and the whole Peninsula. No cost and no obligation.
