Completely floored
The natural hues and tones of wood flooring create visual warmth and comfort in the home
What do Melbourne's Chevron Apartments, Launceston's Queen Victoria Art Museum, several national retail chains, hundreds of apartment developments and thousands of residential homes across Australia have in common?
The answer to that question lies underfoot. All the above mentioned homes, businesses and commercial spaces enjoy the benefits of ReadyFlor, one of Australia's most popular engineered hardwood floors, from Premium Floors. Stuart Budge of Premium Floors says some of the country's most respected residential builders specify the company's flooring products.
"Premium Floors is one of Australia's largestsuppliers of pre-finished timber flooring, and ReadyFlor is one of our most popular pre-finished timber flooring solutions," he says.
A recent development is the combination of ReadyFlor with the Uniclic installation system. This system, which is patented in Australia, is a completely glue-free installation method that provides faster, cleaner and more aesthetically appealing flooring.
"Flooring technology has taken a leap forward with ReadyFlor Uniclic," says Budge. "Not only does the lateral joint strength of the product exceed hundreds of kilograms, the appearance of the joins between boards is significantly enhanced by the fine technical and aesthetic benefits of the Uniclic System.
"What's more, as it's manufactured using a plantation hardwood core and a plantation softwood base, we can better utilise the country's valuable hardwood resources and do our bit for the environment at the same time."
ReadyFlor is pre-finished with six coats of Scratch Resistant Technology (SRT) lacquer a toughened coating that provides comprehensive protection against the fine scratches that occur from day-to-day foot traffic. ReadyFlor products are available in a large range of styles and timbers, and are sold with market-leading warranties across Australia and New Zealand.
Should the need arise, ReadyFlor Uniclic is easily repaired. It's also easily transported. Over the past decade, millions of square metres of ReadyFlor have been successfully installed across Australia from Darwin to Hobart and Busselton to Byron Bay.
Budge says ReadyFlor is frequently specified by Australia's leading architectural and design firms, as it provides a host of practical and technical benefits with contemporary timber appeal.
ReadyFlor is available in one, two and three strip styles in 16 timber species and colours. ReadyFlor boards are 14mm thick, comprising a 4mm hardwood top layer, an engineered 8mm hardwood core and a 2mm bottom layer.
A number of accessories are also available from Premium Floors, such as acoustic underlays, colour-matched trims and profiles, installation and maintenance products and coatings. ReadyFlor carries a lifetime structural warranty, and a 25-year residential wear warranty. Under normal residential conditions and with proper maintenance,ReadyFlor's SRT coating will provide one of the most scratch resistant pre-finished flooring surfaces in the world.
