Why Scenic Rim Builders Choose Platinum R Floor
The Scenic Rim is known for its diverse terrain, from flat acreage blocks to hilly sites with stunning hinterland views. Builders here face unique challenges, including elevated designs, flood-prone areas, and strict build timelines. Platinum R Floor is designed to meet these needs with ease by offering:
- 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 – Engineered for long-term performance, even in high-moisture or high-traffic areas.
Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS) – The Smarter Flooring Choice
SIPS technology combines structural strength with high-performance insulation in one streamlined product. For Scenic Rim 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 the Scenic Rim.
The Scenic Rim’s mix of 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.
