Commercial Carpet Planks Melbourne — Modern Linear Flooring
Carpet planks are the contemporary evolution of the traditional carpet tile. While standard carpet tiles are square (typically 50x50cm), carpet planks are rectangular (typically 25x100cm), offering a sleek linear aesthetic that reflects the clean lines of modern commercial architecture.
At Commercial Floors, we supply and install commercial carpet planks across Melbourne and Victoria for offices, coworking spaces, creative studios, education facilities, and retail environments that want a fresh, directional look.
Why Choose Carpet Planks Over Square Tiles?
Modern Aesthetic
The elongated shape creates a sense of direction and visual flow that square tiles cannot achieve. Planks installed in a brick-lay pattern or herringbone add sophistication to any commercial interior.
Directional Design
Use carpet planks to create visual pathways, guide foot traffic, or emphasise the length or width of a space. They are a powerful wayfinding tool in large open-plan environments.
Mixed Lay Patterns
Planks can be laid in ashlar (brick), herringbone, basketweave, or random patterns. Mixing colours within these patterns creates dynamic, textured floor designs.
Same Practical Benefits
Like square carpet tiles, planks are modular. Individual planks can be replaced if damaged, installation is fast and flexible, and they can be laid in sections to minimise business disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between carpet planks and carpet tiles?
Carpet planks are rectangular (typically 25x100cm) while carpet tiles are square (typically 50x50cm). Planks offer a modern linear aesthetic with more layout options including herringbone and ashlar patterns. Both share the same practical benefits of modular replacement and flexible installation.
Can carpet planks be mixed with square carpet tiles?
Yes. Many manufacturers design their plank and tile ranges to be compatible, allowing you to create transition zones or mixed-format areas within the same floor. This is a popular technique for zoning open-plan offices.
How much do commercial carpet planks cost?
Commercial carpet planks typically cost $35 to $75 per square metre installed in Melbourne, similar to equivalent-quality square carpet tiles. Premium designer planks may be higher. We provide free quotes for every project.
