MaintenanceLibrary flooring without closing the library
Carpet tiles, vinyl, entrance matting and recarpet for public, university and school libraries. Stack lanes wear out, civic doors stay wet, and the building has to stay open. We specify by zone and install after hours.
By Premrest, Premier Restorations Group Pty Ltd.
We install library flooring in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Perth and WA jobs by arrangement.
Specify by zone. Install after hours.
The same stack aisle gets walked for a decade. Rain comes in at the civic door. The reading room has to stay quiet. You cannot shut the branch for a fortnight to fix it.
- Specify by zone. Tiles where people read. Vinyl where it gets wet. Matting at the door.
- Install after hours. One zone at a time. The rest of the library stays open.
- Most stacks can stay. We jack them, lift, and replace the floor under them.

Common questions
Can you recarpet without closing the library?
Usually yes. We work after hours and finish one zone at a time so the rest of the branch stays open. Most stacks can stay — we jack them, lift, and replace the floor under them. See after-hours install and the recarpet guide.
Do the stacks have to move?
Usually not. Most stacks can stay. We jack them, lift, and replace the floor under them. Compactus and some wall-fixed ranges are the exceptions.
What flooring belongs where?
Carpet tiles in reading rooms and stacks. Vinyl in amenities, cafes, maker spaces and wet entries. A matting system at the door. Vinyl vs carpet tiles.
Do you work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. That is the default for public and university libraries. School libraries often use holiday shutdowns. After-hours work.
Which cities do you cover?
We install library flooring in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Perth and WA jobs by arrangement. Call 1300 207 915.
Are you NATA accredited?
No. Premrest is not NATA accredited. We specify and install commercial flooring. If a wet entry needs an in-situ slip check, that is supporting work — this site is library flooring, not a testing lab.
