Carpets
We provide a comprehensive range of carpets for residential and commercial spaces, including wool, nylon, and stain-resistant options. Our selection balances durability with aesthetic appeal, offering plain and patterned designs in various pile types. Professional consultation ensures optimal choice for footfall, maintenance, and style requirements.
LVT Flooring
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring mimics natural materials like wood and stone while offering superior water resistance. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces, our LVT options combine practicality with contemporary design, available in multiple textures and finishes for seamless integration with any decor.
Wood Flooring
Engineered and solid wood flooring options bring timeless elegance to any property. We offer natural oak, walnut, and bespoke finishes with expert installation guidance. Our wood flooring enhances property value while maintaining durability for high-traffic areas in both domestic and commercial settings.
Vinyl Flooring
Modern vinyl flooring provides cost-effective, water-resistant solutions for moisture-prone areas. Available in sheet and tile formats, our vinyl options replicate natural materials while offering easy maintenance. Particularly popular for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial environments requiring hygienic, durable surfaces.
Tailor Made Designs
We create bespoke flooring solutions matching specific colour schemes, patterns, or branding requirements. From custom tartan carpets to logo-integrated commercial flooring, our tailored approach ensures unique installations that reflect individual style or business identity while maintaining practical performance characteristics.

I've had carpet, vinyl and LVT flooring supplied and fitted by Avonvale over the last few years and I've always been 100% happy with the friendly service, the fair prices and the results. A great firm to deal with.

Avonvale Carpets did an exceptional job on our hall fitting new carpets. A lovely friendly family firm who are so professional and reasonably priced. Went out of their way to provide a 5 star service. Highly recommend them.

Excellent service from shop staff. Fitters also got 5 stars for the quality of their installation, but they really should have owned up to the minor accidental damage they caused to the lower staircase. They cleared up the small amount of debris but failed to point it out before leaving - such a shame!
