Our Journey Since 1990
From humble beginnings to premium showroom
In 2008, a young Ryan Fischer joined Kawana Flooring as a warehouse hand. What was then just three guys at desks in a big shed has since grown into one of Queensland’s top flooring specialists.
With energy, vision, and a passion for customer care, Ryan quickly became an integral part of the team and stepped into ownership in 2016.
Since then, Ryan and his wife Mel have led Kawana Flooring together, transforming it from a warehouse-based operation into the premium Sunshine Coast showroom it is today. Their shared focus on independence, quality, and genuine customer care has redefined the business and earned it recognition as one of Queensland’s most trusted flooring providers and installers.
What began more than three decades ago as a small family business has now become a go-to destination for homeowners, builders, and developers alike. It’s proof of what’s possible when strong values meet shared vision and commitment.
A Complete Interiors Destination
We know flooring is just one part of creating a beautiful, functional space. That’s why Kawana Flooring goes further. We offer curtains, blinds, and synthetic grass alongside our full flooring range.
It’s all here, under one roof, designed to give you a seamless experience and the confidence that every detail has been considered.
Our aim is simple: to make your home or business look and feel its best, with solutions that combine practicality, style, and long-term value.

________________________________________
Why should I visit the showroom first?
A visit to our Kawana Flooring showroom saves everyone time and gives you a better result. In-store, we can show you exactly how products look and feel, narrow down your options, and often quote on the spot. Many people come in dreaming of timber and leave loving a high-end vinyl that suits their budget and lifestyle better.
Our showroom team has the product knowhow to help you find the products that suit your needs. Rather than salespeople, our team is made up of flooring experts. We are confident you’ll see why Kawana Flooring customers rave about their experiences.
Do you provide after-sales support?
Yes! One to two weeks after installation we email your product brochures, care guides, and warranty terms. You’ll probably receive them more than once, because we want to make sure you get them! We also follow up to make sure you’re happy. If anything ever needs attention within the first year, we’ll handle it directly. Long-term, we’re always here for advice on cleaning, maintenance, or upgrades.
What happens if something goes wrong with my floor?
If it’s an installation issue, we’ll fix it under our 12-month workmanship warranty: no fuss. If it’s a product defect, we’ll liaise with the manufacturer for inspection and resolution. Think of us like your local Toyota dealer: you bring it to us, we handle the process with the product company behind the scenes.
What brands and suppliers do you work with?
We source from Australia’s most trusted flooring manufacturers and wholesalers. This means you have direct access to hundreds of ranges in carpet, vinyl, hybrid and timber. Our relationship with multiple suppliers means you get honest advice, not a single-brand push. Every product on our floor has been tested for quality, warranty reliability and Queensland performance. Our aim is always to get you the best product for your needs.
Do you remove my old flooring before installing new products?
Yes, removing old flooring is included in our service. We’ll safely lift and dispose of your old carpet, vinyl or laminate, and prepare the subfloor properly so your new flooring performs perfectly from day one.
Do you really stand by the slogan “Your Flooring is Our Passion”?
We do, because our business is much more than a slogan to us. For you this means we treat every project with the same care we’d take in our own homes. From helping you choose the right product to making sure every install is flawless, we take pride in the details. That’s why we personally guarantee every installation for 12 months and stay available long after the job’s done. It’s this level of care that keeps families coming back to Kawana Flooring generation after generation.
