- Choose a carpet colour to match our floor tile; Everstone Durastone Grey Steel Honed
- Choose carpet which is durable and won't need to be replaced in 5 years time
- Choose a carpet which won't get 'crushed' easily
Based on the above brief requirements, we have decided to upgrade the carpet from the builders range to 'Redbook Green Natural Haven 100% Triexta' which costs $57/m2. The good news you do receive a credit back from the builders range, our allowance was $27/m2, so we'll only pay the difference of $30/m2.
There are plenty of mixed reviews about this new 'corn sugar' carpet, but the majority of my online research was positive. I'll let you make up your own mind!

Don't forget the underlay! Underlay is great for many reasons; improves underfoot comfort, absorbs crushing, overcomes minor imperfections in the floor and improves the acoustic and thermal insulation! There are three main types of underlay: felt, foam and rubber. Although only rubber is offered at Di Lorenzo.
Eden Brae offer as standard 3mm rubber underlay. There are three thickness to choose from, each varying in cost; grey 3mm (standard $0), yellow 5mm ($5/m2), blue 10mm ($8/m2). We're planning to upgrade to the 10mm (blue) option, as there isn't much difference between 3mm and 5mm. Unfortunately it means another upgrade, but we believe it's a worthwhile one!
