Flooring is a key element of the business. When Carrigaline Pottery closed in 1983, Tom Sexton went straight into the flooring business, working with the Furlong Group, helping it to become the biggest flooring company in Ireland and the UK. His own experience and that of his staff means the company is regarded as one of Ireland's top flooring specialists.

The Wood Flooring Department is an important part of the business at Carrigaline Furniture and Carpet Centre, with workmanship key to its success. The best of care and attention to detail is given to each floor from laminated, semi-solid to solid, with every stage looked after by the company.

Measuring properly is important and this will be done with a quote provided free of charge. Consultation on the best floor suited to its use and space will ensure that the best floor is chosen. This can only be done with experts who understand wear and tear, the importance of wood type for appearance and durability and which way it should be laid. All are crucial to success.

The Contracts Division deals with sports floors and safety floors which are approved by the Department of Education, using a range of vinyl, polyurethane and wood surfaces with impact sustainability ensured.

For domestic use fully trained carpenters fit all wood floors using oak, beech, ash, cherry, walnut, pine and maple, each with its own individual grain and colour. It's worth calling to the Centre to see the wide range of choices.
