Buying Australian Made not only supports local business and the Australian economy but it brings a range of benefits to you as a consumer as well as to the environment and wider community.
✓ Quality
Because Australian manufacturing is regulated to ensure the highest quality standards, you know you are getting a high quality product that’s made to last the distance when you buy Australian Made. Stringent safety standards also mean that the Australian products you buy and the materials used to make them are monitored closely for compliance so you can rest assured that your and your family’s safety and well being are in safe hands when you buy Australian products. This is especially important when it comes to carpet and flooring products where you, your children and pets have so much daily contact with flooring surfaces.
Our Desire Collection offers Australian Made quality you can rely on with the latest technology in stain and odour protection as well as the latest advancements in UV resistant treatment so you can open up your curtains and blinds to let the sunshine in without worrying about fading.
✓ More Options for Customisation
When you buy Australian Made you’ll also be rewarded with greater ranges (styles and colours) to choose from and more options for customising your orders too, especially when it comes to home furnishings. Another great benefit of buying local and supporting Australian business!
Our Australian Made Desire Carpet Collection comes in a wide range of stylish, contemporary colours, textures and styles.
✓ Reliable Warranties and Guarantees
Australian products come with Automatic Guarantees that protect you from common product pitfalls and risks.
According to the Australian Consumer Commission website , Australian consumers automatically have the following protections and guarantees when they buy Australian Made.
Since 1 January 2011, the following consumer guarantees on products and services apply.

Acceptable quality takes into account what would normally be expected for the type of product and cost.

Be fit for the purpose the business told you it would be fit for and for any purpose that you made known to the business before purchasing
