Our Story
50 Years Experience
Founded in 1970, Continental Carpets has been installing high quality floor coverings across south east Queensland.
Our success can be contributed to our uncompromising dedication to quality and service. Unlike many of our more ‘youthful’ competitors, Continental Carpets places greater emphasis on ensuring the end user is 100% satisfied with their installation.
We have always maintained that we do not simply sell our clients carpet, we sell them service, peace of mind, and a guarantee that their floor covering solution will meet their needs and expectations every time.
We also have the advantage of experience.
The family who founded Continental Carpets, and runs it today, was the family who invented the carpet tile. It was in a factory in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, that P.J. van Heugten first began manufacturing bitumen backed carpet tiles which could be loose-laid wall to wall.
It was the grandson of the inventor who established Continental Carpets in Brisbane and specialised in importing the new European carpet tiles into the emerging Brisbane Market.
To this day, we use our natural advantage in the market to deliver floor covering solutions to a wide variety of clients from international corporations to government departments, primary schools to universities. Our services cover all commercial projects from million-dollar boutique hotels on the Gold Coast to the small offices of local start-ups.
Our well-developed supplier network ensures that we can source just about any carpet tile, vinyl or rubber product that can be installed in a commercial project. We also have the capacity to sell factory seconds and end-of-project spares direct to the public for a fraction of our competitor’s cost.
