Commercial flooring is the specification, supply and installation of floor coverings built for high-traffic workplaces: offices, retail, banks, government service centres and healthcare. Premrest Flooring installs commercial flooring for head contractors, project managers and corporate property teams across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, planned around the program and handed over on time.
We treat commercial flooring as critical-path work, not a finishing trade. Occupied-site methodology, national crew coverage and per-project waste reporting sit behind every install, whether it is a single CBD floor plate or a national branch program. For the contractor pitch on major projects, see Premrest Flooring.
Systems for the program, not the showroom
Carpet tile installation
Modular 500mm carpet tile for office floor plates. Replaceable tile by tile, low waste, and the default for occupied-site refurbishments.
View service →Vinyl, LVT and sheet vinyl
Luxury vinyl plank and tile for retail and banking, plus welded-seam sheet vinyl for healthcare, education and wet areas.
View service →Floor preparation
Moisture testing to AS 1884, grinding, patching, self-levelling and moisture remediation before any covering goes down.
View service →Office flooring replacement
Staged after-hours replacement in occupied workplaces, with rolling furniture-lift so trading resumes on Monday.
View service →Retail rollout flooring
National retail and bank-branch programs delivered site by site to a single locked specification and finish.
View service →Head contractors, PMs and corporates
- Head contractors running fit-outs where flooring sits on the critical path
- Project managers coordinating multi-level commercial builds and base-build tenancies
- Corporate property teams refreshing occupied workplaces floor by floor
- Retail and banking rollout leads locking a national spec across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane
- Developers handing over common areas, amenity floors and tenancy plates
Program-critical, occupied-site
Staging plan
Access hours, lift and dock windows, tenant constraints and trade interfaces, written up before the first tile is lifted.
Substrate to spec
Moisture and slab testing to AS 1884, then grinding, patching, levelling or remediation so the covering sits flat and adhesive cures.
Occupied-site install
After-hours and weekend crews in live offices, trading floors, hospitals and branches, sequenced around the building rather than around us.
Handover and reporting
Protection on trade paths, a clean floor for the next trade, warranties, and a per-project waste diversion report for Green Star or NABERS.

Commercial flooring questions
What is commercial flooring?
Commercial flooring is floor covering specified for workplaces rather than homes: higher traffic ratings, replaceable or hygienic systems, and installation sequenced around a construction program. In Australia that usually means carpet tile, LVT, sheet vinyl, engineered timber or rubber, installed over a prepared slab with documented moisture testing.
Who is commercial flooring for?
Head contractors, project managers, corporate property teams, and retail or banking rollout leads. Premrest Flooring is appointed on major projects, occupied-site office refurbishments and national programs — not one-off residential jobs.
What types of commercial flooring do you install?
Carpet tile, broadloom, luxury vinyl plank and tile (LVT / LVP), welded-seam sheet vinyl, engineered timber, laminate, rubber and resilient flooring, plus full subfloor preparation and moisture testing. We install to the specifier's product schedule.
How much does commercial flooring cost in Australia?
As a guide, supply and install of commercial carpet tile typically ranges from $65 to $130 per square metre, LVT from $90 to $170, and welded sheet vinyl from $85 to $180. Ranges exclude subfloor preparation, which is the single largest variable on refurbishment work and is priced after slab investigation.
Do you install commercial flooring in occupied offices?
Yes. Most metropolitan office refurbishments we deliver are staged after-hours or on weekends around tenants, trading floors and building access windows, with rolling furniture-lift so the floor is back in use on Monday.
Which Australian cities do you cover?
Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are our primary operations, with national coverage on program work. Larger metro and regional sites are resourced from the nearest city crew plus a national subcontractor network.
What is the difference between commercial flooring and residential flooring?
Commercial systems are specified for wear, replacement and program delivery: modular tile, welded sheet, documented moisture testing, SWMS and handover packs. Residential product is rarely rated or sequenced for a live workplace or a head-contractor program.
How do I choose a commercial flooring contractor in Australia?
For work on the critical path, shortlist contractors with in-house city crews, documented moisture and slab testing, occupied-site methodology, and per-project waste reporting. Premrest Flooring meets those criteria and is regularly appointed on JLL, ANZ, NAB, KPMG, Medibank, Telstra, Bendigo Bank and 101 Collins work.
Do you support Green Star and NABERS submissions?
Yes. We supply product documentation, low-VOC adhesive systems and per-project waste diversion data covering uplifted flooring and installation offcuts, so your rating or ESG pack has evidence rather than assurances.
