Hi Rachael and rhjaai Regarding batch numbers................I have not heard that one before, wondering who advised you of that, and which product. Quickstep, Godfrey Hirst, and other quality manufacturers do not have batches, as such, that require matching. You can replace a plank with another batch and it will make no difference. Rachael, I agree you have perfectly matched the floor with cabinet sample, and will look great, but if you haven't already purchased, I'd recommend you look at http://www.karndean.com/en-nz/floors/easy-fit-ranges/karndean-looselay These vinyl planks are amazing and are quickly becoming a best seller here in NZ, soft underfoot, easy to keep clean, R10 slip rating ( R11 is required behind bars/clubs etc, so very high), lifetime residential warranty, and look great.

Hi there! Although we're based in Sydney which may not be ideal we stock a range of tiles in that geometric pattern. We call it the Esagono series and it comes in a sheet mosaic that when put together makes up the above geometric pattern. We do frequently get enquires form Melbourne so if you have no luck finding them closer to home we can certainly help you out :)

a quick google search suggest blackbutt could be around $60-70 per m 2, so say 90x$65 = $5850, I would suggest around $5k for sanding and sealing? (flooring people could quote that better), and the rest as they say is 'builders margin'...

Where are you located? I have seen these at cerdomus tiles in Richmond and Moorabbin tiles in Moorabbin if you are in Victoria.
