Why Queensland Builders Choose Platinum R Floor
Queensland’s unique environment — from humid coastal zones and sandy soils to elevated hinterland terrain and flood-prone regions — demands flooring systems that are durable, adaptable, and efficient. Platinum “R” Floor is engineered to meet these challenges head-on, offering builders a smarter solution for projects across the state.
-
Fast Installation – Lightweight SIPS panels speed up installation, reduce labour costs, and make handling easier on tight or elevated sites.
-
Superior Thermal Performance – Built-in insulation helps improve energy efficiency, keeping homes cooler in Queensland’s hot summers and warmer during winter.
-
Wet Area Set Downs – Pre-engineered panels eliminate the need for joist modifications, saving significant time in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens.
-
Strength & Durability – Designed for long-term performance, even in high-moisture or high-traffic environments.
Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS) – The Smarter Flooring Choice
SIPS technology combines structural strength with high-performance insulation in one streamlined product. For Queensland builders and architects, this means:
- Less time on site with panels that arrive pre-cut and ready to install.
- Greater design flexibility for multi-storey homes, raised houses, and sloping block construction.
- Reduced waste and improved sustainability compared to traditional subfloor systems.
Platinum R Floor takes the benefits of SIPS flooring systems further, offering customisable solutions to suit residential, modular, and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Platinum R Floor is an advanced Structural Insulated Panel System (SIPS) designed for subfloor applications. It combines a structural top and bottom skin with an insulated core, creating a single, high-performance panel. This innovative design removes the need for traditional joist-and-bearer setups, saving time and labour while improving both thermal and acoustic performance — perfect for the diverse building environments throughout Queensland.
Queensland’s mix of coastal, suburban, acreage, and rural projects demands a flooring solution that is durable, efficient, and adaptable. Platinum R Floor offers:
- Rapid installation to keep projects on schedule.
- Moisture resistance for humid or flood-prone areas.
- Built-in thermal insulation to help meet energy efficiency targets.
- Custom wet area set downs without complicated joist work.
One of the system’s standout features is its integrated wet area set down capability. This eliminates the need to notch, lower, or change joist heights. Builders simply install a strip of fibre cement flashing between the panel and wet area flooring, creating an automatic step down ready for waterproofing to Australian Standards. This saves significant time on site and ensures compliance.
Compared to timber joists or steel subfloor frames, Platinum R Floor:
- Installs faster with fewer components.
- Reduces thermal bridging for improved insulation.
- Minimises site waste through precision manufacturing.
- Requires less on-site labour, lowering build costs.
