What Queensland Builders Get from Platinum “R” Floor
Platinum “R” Floor puts the insulation for a raised or suspended floor inside the panel itself. It’s one reason builders are moving away from fitting underfloor insulation as a separate step:
- One panel, one stage: the structural floor and its insulation are laid together, rated from R1.2 to R2.5 depending on thickness.
- Treated for termites: an H2 treated panel is available, and termite treated panels can be used anywhere in Australia without restriction.
- Made in Australia: certified by Australian Made Campaign Limited, with Responsible Wood certification.
- Light to handle: from 40.9kg a sheet, and builders report carrying and placing each panel with two people.
Proven on Queensland Homes
Platinum “R” Floor is already under homes in three South East Queensland regions, from the recent residential builds we’ve supplied:
- Bunburra, Scenic Rim: 300 sqm on a mountain-top home built by Innovative Design & Build Group, fully exposed to the elements.
- Worongary, Gold Coast: a contemporary family home where the panel’s acoustic properties improved privacy between living zones.
- Belmont, Brisbane: quick panel placement helped streamline the build timeline, and gave a solid, flat base for the final floor finishes.
- Camp Hill, Brisbane: the builder noted reduced noise transfer in a dual-level layout, and a low-profile floor that suited a space-constrained design.

Suited to Queensland Building Conditions
Queensland builds range from coastal lots to inland ranges, and Platinum “R” Floor goes over timber or steel framing wherever a suspended floor is needed:
- Sloping and hillside blocks: hillside and acreage builds in the Scenic Rim, the Sunshine Coast hinterland and the Toowoomba Range.
- Raised and elevated homes: floors lifted clear of the ground on stumps, piers or steel posts.
- Upper storeys: multi-storey homes where the upper floor is laid and insulated in one pass.
- Modular and prefabricated builds: panels for manufacturers assembling homes off site.

No joists are notched or lowered. Builders fix a strip of fibre cement flashing between the Platinum “R” Floor panel and the 19mm wet area sheet, which forms the step down and lets the floor fall to the waste before waterproofing to the relevant standard.
