Made from porcelain clays fired at high temperatures, tile is denser and less porous than other flooring types, making it the most damage-resistant and permanent floor covering. Totally customizable, tile can be heated, laid in any direction, and mixed with accent pieces to work within your space. And its natural resistance to bacteria and decay make it well-suited to rooms where hygiene is essential.
From interior designers to tradespeople, our sales staff and installers are flooring experts through and through. With decades of experience and expertise behind their names, they are some of Victoria's most qualified flooring professionals - all under one roof - here to support landlords, homeowners, contractors, architects and designers alike.

Excellent customer service, products and install. I've worked with them on three projects so far for carpets, vinyl flooring and tile. Stephanie provided excellent recommendations on vinyl flooring and tile. Sabit provided expertise for our carpet install and worked within our budget and timeframe when we were dealing with a flood. The staff are authentic, honest and work with integrity.

If you are a home owner and not a big developer, do not use Island Flooring. They are horrendously expensive compared to smaller operations and if you are having a small job done, you are treated as low priority. Our kitchen and bathroom floors were replaced separately. The kitchen done before the pandemic and the bathroom put on hold. I asked them to order the flooring for the bathroom and charge me for them and the installation up front.
I had the tiles here in a small condo for over a year and when they installed them, they then sent me a bill for $600 for 3 hours work. Because I had asked them initially to bill me for the whole job up front and they agreed to that, I was stunned that they had charged me for the flooring but not the installation. They went ahead and installed the tiles finally and then billed me for the labour. I could have had a person install the tiles for less than half of what they charged. Their workmen were great but overall I was disappointed in how they did business.

My employer exclusively uses Island Floors for all our flooring needs, so I was excited to be able to use them on my latest home renovation. Stefanie is incredibly helpful and detail oriented, made sure to note how our vinyl sheet floor should be installed for the best layout with the pattern and was flexible on scheduling around our timeline. Dennis installed our floor quickly and efficiently, and he was very friendly and professional. Very satisfied with our beautiful new floor and would highly recommend Island Floors for anyone's flooring needs.

I've been putting off getting new flooring done for years - so many choices and the logistics of actually getting them done. Our salesman, Greg, was so incredibly helpful! So much to choose from. The gentleman who actually laid the floors - John - was nothing short of a wizard! Such craftsmanship! All this - and socially distant! Can't recommend them enough!

In preparation for an extensive renovation, I collected quotes on my flooring needs. My experience at Island floor centre began with a 10 minute wait, followed by a condescending sales rep who presumed I could not afford any flooring I selected. I was made to wait for incomplete inadequate quotes, and the result being Island Floor Centre has lost my business. Conversely, Hourigans and Edgar & Miner both provided prompt, courteous service, with complete quotes for my project. Don't waste your time at Island Floor Centre.

We recently completed a kitchen renovation, which involved a search for just the right wood flooring. Stephanie Watchman was extremely helpful in making design suggestions and finding replacement flooring, when our first choice was unavailable. Stephanie and the installers did a superb job obtaining a custom threshold to transition into our living room. We definitely recommend Island Floor Centre, and look forward to our next bathroom renovation with them. Tim and Donna Cheesman

I had excellent customer service from Stefanie Watchman. She was informed, knowledgeable, professional, and gave overall excellent customer service. Stefanie also provided interior design advice for the new home I built and she was on point. Based on my personal experience, I would highly recommend Stefanie and Island Floor Centre.

I had the absolutely pleasure of working with Stephanie Watchman. After visiting and comparing other flooring retailers I quickly found the exact flooring I was looking for at Island Floor Center. Stephanie was most professional from start to finish. I really appreciated her product knowledge, attention to detail and superior communication skills.
My five room flooring project went off without a hitch. It was much easier than I dreamed it would be. The installers did a fantastic job as well. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the entire team at Island Floor Center. H. Jordan, Victoria

It was a pleasure to work with Stefanie at IFC on our two bathroom renovation projects. She is a skilled designer with an excellent eye as to what would work best in our home, with our budget. Stefanie was always available for our many questions and when a supplier had to pull one of our tile options at the 11th hour, she came up with immediate options to remedy the situation.
We are very pleased with the final results and have received many compliments on the work that was done. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stefanie for any project.

I highly recommend Island Flooring. Brian, Dave and the rest of the team were so helpful in a tough situation - the company that made the flooring I ordered had a problem with their shipping system, and Brian bent over backwards to make sure we had flooring to install on time. I came into the store with one project to tackle, but after seeing their showroom (which is beautiful, uncluttered, and very relaxing), I now have big ideas for my next home improvement!

While planning an extensive home renovation, we were seeking some unique ideas that would make a statement in our home. We stopped in at Island Floor Centre and had the good fortune of being introduced to one of their Interior Designers, Stefanie Watchman. From our first meeting, Stefanie was thoroughly engaged as she directed us to flooring and tile products that eventually made our vision become a stunning reality.
Every time we met, Stefanie had thoroughly done her research and was always prepared. She not only presented her professional opinion, but also carefully listened to our feedback while validating our planning ideas. Her unique designs and ongoing solutions to unexpected concerns, was most impressive. Stefanie, Ricardo (tiling) and Reno (flooring) are an extremely competent team who always came up with creative and aesthetic solutions for any challenges that arose.
They were open to changes we made along the way and their knowledge, craftsmanship, attention to detail far surpassed our expectations. The follow-up after our renovations were completed, along with their willingness to ensure everything stands up to its reputation and warranties, speaks volumes to their character. Without reservation, we highly recommend Island Floor Centre and their team to our friends, family and anyone else looking for something that goes above and beyond. We thank you all for a job very well done!

I purchased a home that had engineered hardwood sold and installed by the Island Floor Centre. The night I moved in I was shocked to see it was lifting in various places. The home was under 2 years old. The developer promised to repair it in 3 weeks and then said because I was the second owner the 25 year warrantee was null and void. I bought the home from a couple who were rarely living in the home.
I checked with other home owners and all said that boards on their floors had to be replaced because the top layer lifted off the base. I called a floor expert to come in and he advised me that it had faulty glues. He said before selling a product like this he would test the glues. I contacted Island Floor Centre and 3 weeks later they sent out a salesman.
I had marked all areas where the thin layer on top was lifting so he could easily check it. When I asked him what he thought he said he wasn't going to comment. Island Floor would not stand behind a defective floor that they sold and installed that was supposed to be under warrantee for 25 years. I would never purchase flooring from this company as they don't stand behind the products they sell. No customer service. rude when I asked them to respond to my issue.
