Floating Floors Direct first opened its doors in Hornsby in 2005. We supply timber floating floors, laminate floating floors, bamboo floating floors, carpet, vinyl and cork to both retail and trade customers. We can arrange installation through our trusted team of installers, or supply you with all the accessories you need if you prefer to tackle the job yourself.
We service customers across Sydney, the Central Coast, and also handle interstate sales. We work only with trusted suppliers, so you can be confident you’re receiving a quality product. We refuse to sell inferior floors, as poor-quality materials inevitably lead to problems during installation. Every floor we stock is of the highest quality, and that quality translates directly to a successful installation.
Bill Grogan has been installing floating floors for over 20 years. In July 2010, he purchased Floating Floors Direct. Bill holds a Level 4 ATFA Licence and has completed numerous flooring courses. He also specialises in assessing substandard work completed by other installers and flooring shops, and repairing incorrectly laid floors. In fact, he is the recommended installer for other flooring shops and suppliers.
These days, Bill spends all his time in the shop, helping customers choose the best floor to suit their lifestyle and budget. He provides all job quotes and works with a select group of trusted installers, the same team that has been with Floating Floors Direct from the very beginning.
Because we are both the supplier and the installer, our customers have far greater confidence knowing they will receive a professional job. This stands in contrast to buying a floor elsewhere and having no idea who will lay it or what experience they have. As Bill puts it: “The floors we sell are quality floors, floors that I would install myself. Many customers aren’t aware, but there are numerous inferior products on the market that I refuse to sell or install. A new floor is a big decision, and you need the right advice from someone who will be there from beginning to end.”
Floating Floors Direct is a small, family-owned and operated business. As you can see from our Google reviews over the years, we’ve had many satisfied customers. In fact, all our reviews are unanimously 5 stars for nine years straight. For this reason, most of our work comes through word of mouth.
Let Bill assist you in choosing the right product to suit your needs and budget. We won’t push you toward the most expensive option; instead, we’ll help you find the floor that best suits your lifestyle and budget.

A Floating Floor is a floor that sits on underlay over an existing floor. It is not fixed, just floats. Your furniture, skirting boards or scotia hold it in place which is why it is important to start with a level subfloor.
The advantage of a Floating Floor is it can be pulled apart. If any damage occurs you simply pull it apart, replace the affected boards and put it back together again.
Timber and Bamboo Floating Floors give you the real thing in an easy to install and care for product. Laminate Floating Floors give you the look without the maintenance. They all give you a hard floor that is child, pet and visitor friendly.

To put it simply, you get what you pay for. Problems that may occur with cheaper products on the market include de-lamination, buckling, excessive swelling, joins falling part and dangerous gas emissions of formaldehyde (bamboo floors). Any warranty is often a PO Box in another country, so customers find they have no recourse. Floating Floors Direct does not stock these cheap floors because it is not the business we are after. We pride ourselves on satisfied customers and are not going anywhere, so it is not in our best interests to sell a product we cannot guarantee.
Sweep, vacuum or dry mop is all that is required. We also sell a range of cleaning products. Steam Mops are only to be used on some types of flooring as this could not only damage your floor but also void your warranty. Check with Bill for the best way to clean your specific floor.
All products carry different warranties, ranging from 8 years to Lifetime. Our installers also warrant their work.
Yes. Most strata by-laws have an acoustic requirement so all you need to do is notify your strata corporation of your intention to install a Floating Floor. They will provide you with their requirements which you bring in to us, choose your floor and leave the rest to us.
