Why Gold Coast Builders Choose Platinum R Floor
The Gold Coast building industry is unique — with its mix of high-end architectural homes, elevated coastal builds, and energy-efficient housing requirements. Platinum R Floor is engineered to meet these demands with ease.
- Fast Installation – Lightweight SIPS panels reduce labour time and make it easier to work in tight or elevated sites.
- Superior Thermal Performance – Built-in insulation delivers exceptional energy efficiency, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Wet Area Set Downs – Pre-engineered panels eliminate the need for joist modifications, saving time on bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens.
- Strength & Durability – The robust structure ensures long-lasting performance, even in challenging Gold Coast environments.
Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS) – The Smarter Flooring Choice
SIPS technology combines structural strength with high-performance insulation in one streamlined product. For Gold Coast 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 design eliminates the need for traditional joist-and-bearer setups, saving time and labour while improving thermal and acoustic performance.
The Gold Coast’s mix of coastal, urban, and hinterland 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 coastal and high-humidity areas.
- Built-in thermal insulation to help achieve energy efficiency targets.
- Custom wet area set downs without complex 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 better insulation performance.
- Minimises site waste due to its precision manufacturing.
- Requires less on-site labour, which helps keep costs down.
