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 Brisbane.
Brisbane’s mix of coastal, suburban, acreage, and semi-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.
