Best on the floor

By Kath Gannaway
TREVOR Hanley and Linda Thomas bought Upper Yarra Carpets more than two years ago and have continued to build on the reputation established over more than 20 years as the Yarra Valley’s premium floor-covering business.
They have a wealth experience between them and are using their industry know-how to ensure their customers have access to high-quality service and an extensive range of products at competitive prices.
Upper Yarra Carpets’ free measuring and home sample service allows customers to visualise what they want without making any kind of commitment.
“Our no-obligation and free measuring service works well enabling customers to get a good idea of what they want,” Mr Hanley said.
“We take a sample to the customer’s home – anything from a doormat to a big commercial rug or covering, so they can see the product in the space it will occupy.”
Upper Yarra Carpets also sells window blinds and shades in a range of different materials and colours.
Cam Parslow is the window blinds salesman and he has worked at Upper Yarra Carpets for many years.
“We can help you pick out the perfect blinds for your home and even match up your carpets and blinds,” Mr Parslow says.
“This can be particularly helpful when decorating a new house or even trying to change the look of an old house.”
Be it curtains or blinds the dedicated team at Upper Yarra Carpets can help find the best product for customers.
Mr Hanley, Ms Thomas and Mr Parslow pride themselves on offering their customers the best variety, service and prices around.
“We are now dealing with more suppliers than ever before and have a very strong commitment to keeping up the very high standard our customers have always enjoyed,” Mr Hanley said.
With the colder weather setting in now is the perfect time to warm up the home with luxurious carpets or perhaps one or two bright new rugs to help insulate timber or tiled floors.
