What about in Australia?

Buying local is always preferable especially natural products and produce that grows. However, as we are an island some unique products and design options are simply not available from local manufacturing.

For example, plastic-free, natural carbon-neutral from cradle to gate (without offsetting Marmoleum flooring has NO alternative in Australia and is a production process requiring special craftsmanship that is not easily copied and only found in historic European locations.

Additionally, design-based heterogeneous PVC flooring offering timber, stone and bespoke digital look floors are NOT made in Australia and don't have a local alternative. This includes the ever-popular Luxury Vinyl Planks or LVT. All are imported and offer variety to design interiors.
