From Bathrooms to Ballrooms

One Perth Company has it covered

by Athole Murray Fleming

Glenearn Flooring of Perth is a family business run by George Ewing Snr ably supported by son George Jnr and daughter Jane.

Glenearn Flooring opened their doors to the people of Perthshire in November 1995 and has since built up a very positive 'word of mouth' reputation that now takes them all over Scotland. From the smallest of bathrooms to prestigious ballrooms, Glenearn will guide you in terms of your floor covering requirements.

George Snr who has been involved in the carpet and floor covering industry for over 40 years spotted a gap within the area for a company to offer a wide range of quality products dedicated to flooring, quite often you will find carpet shops go hand in hand with furniture, bedding and curtain departments but George felt this would compromise on the amount of choice and variations available on display and from his stock. The other valid point being that flooring is his chosen trade.

Customers can visit their showroom at Glenearn Road and park without the stresses of parking metres, which as we all know, is a bit of a luxury these days!
You are free to browse around without high-pressure salesmen breathing down your neck, but on the other hand good sound advice is always readily available if you require it.

Sales Manager, James Gordon and the sales team are regularly updated with in-store product training provided by suppliers on all new products brought in.

As well as having a huge selection of stock carpet and vinyl's their design floor business is on the increase. People are looking for more individuality within their homes these days, especially with the numerous TV home makeover shows, imaginations are being stretched. With products such as Karndean and Marmoleum, there are few boundaries in terms of designs, textures and colours.

The effect of changing a floor covering is often underestimated, people forget that it is the floor that makes a connection with everything else in the room therefore by changing it everything else in the room forms a new relationship.

Hard wood flooring is another area of expertise at Glenearn, and again they have plenty of variations on offer. A hard wood floor provides a very solid base but offers quality, warmth and beauty to any room. A great companion for a hardwood floor is a beautiful rug; a superb selection on display includes hand made Persian's, Indian, Turkish, Nepalese and Chinese rugs. Just included in this range, is the brand new Calvin Klein rug collection, which in itself offers a tremendous choice.
