ABOUT ANDERSEN FLOORING

Andersen's was founded in the late 1950s in the town of Gatton, where the head office and main warehouse remain to this day.

Andersen's was founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and respect in all aspects of the business a philosophy, which is still paramount today, and has earned them the reputation of being 'the respected name in floor coverings' for over 50 years. Andersen's is a family friendly company.

With a high standard of service and ongoing commitment to their customers, Andersen's is the preferred choice for floor coverings, both for first time customers referred to us by others and repeat clients who appreciate the old-fashioned service principles.

Owning an Andersen's franchise is not physically demanding. Jobs are generally subcontracted to dedicated floor layers (although the franchise can undertake this function themselves and make considerably more money if they so wish).
