We're locals
beginning your
PART OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY SINCE 1986
There’s a familiar feel when you visit the Gerrand Floorings showroom. We’ve been part of the local community since 1986 and our team are proud to build on this history continuing our promise to deliver on quality service, product and price.
We’re still a locally owned family business – today operated
by second generation, Leanne and her husband, Tony who’ve been at the helm since 2008 – and now often working with second generation clients who grew up in their family home
on a Gerrand Floorings floor.
We're independently
owned & operated
Being an independent store, free from any franchise restrictions or directives you’re still dealing with the same family values and ideals. With this independence, we're able to be part of the Flooring Foundation umbrella with the Feltex and Godfrey Hirst brands – allowing clients access to national promotions and opportunities.

Environmental focus
Sustainable flooring is both a focus for us and our suppliers. Our core suppliers are consistently developing innovative eco products and sourcing sustainable materials. There is focus on using sustainable manufacturing processes for many of their flooring options, Gerrand Floorings also go beyond production and look at ways we can help the environment through recycling and reusing offcuts and packaging.
At Gerrand Floorings;
-
All our cardboard cores are recycled
-
Underlay offcuts are collected and sent back to the manufacturer to upcycle
-
Carpet uplifts are given to builders to use as slab protectors
-
Vinyl uplifts are recycled and upcycled as part of the Polyflor initiative. See the Polyflor website for details here
With an ongoing interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly products and practices Gerrand Floorings will endeavor to make a positive impact on the health of our environment and our consumers.

Our community
At Gerrand Floorings we pride ourselves on getting involved, rolling our sleeves up and committing to projects and events that we feel support our local community and help to create a vibrant place to live.
We do this through sponsorship, volunteering, donations and collaboration. We’re extremely proud of what our team and our business actively participate in and give back to the Bay of Plenty. As a locally owned and operated business we feel we have a responsibility to make a difference to our community.
