We take pride in bringing our clients’ visions to life, and our work with Blatch Bros on their café in Winton, Southland, is a project we’re thrilled to showcase. This job started as a simple vinyl installation in the kitchen but quickly expanded into a full café flooring fit-out, thanks to a collaborative design process.
Chris from Flooring Xtra Invercargill and Winton initially met with the Blatch Bros team to explore flooring ideas. They were considering polished concrete floors, but Chris highlighted how this might amplify noise in a bustling café environment. His recommendation? Inzide Reclaim Aged Oak carpet planks in a herringbone pattern, adding a sophisticated, noise-dampening solution to the main café area. This flooring not only enhanced the ambience but was also functional for the space.
To showcase the products suggested and how they would fit into the vision of the new cafe the Flooring Xtra Invercargill and Winton team created a digital mock-up, giving the Blatch Bros team a visual preview of what the space would look like once finished to ensure they were happy with how the flooring would add to the beautiful space they were creating.
Faced with the pressure of a confirmed opening date, the Flooring Xtra team rose to the challenge. They coordinated efficiently putting in extra hours over the weekends to meet the deadline.
The Blatch Bros café has since become a vibrant hub for the Winton community, attracting locals and visitors alike with its welcoming atmosphere, delicious offerings, and modern fit out. We’re proud to have delivered a tailored flooring solution that meets the unique needs of this popular new café.
For businesses or homeowners in the Winton and Invercargill areas who are looking for high-quality flooring solutions, Flooring Xtra’s expert team is here to help turn your vision into reality. From design to installation, we’ll ensure your space looks fantastic and functions flawlessly.
