Builder Feedback 

We’ve received consistent, positive feedback from builders who have used Platinum R Floor: 

I was looking for a product that had acoustic and thermal properties and found that the Platinum “R” Floor covered my needs. 

– Rod Soppe. Managing Director, TRUBUILT.

This is the first time using this product and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. Weight-wise, they were easily handled by two persons. The sheets stood up well to the elements with no sign of delaminating even with quite a bit of rain on one of the jobs. All in all I highly rate this product and will definitely be using this again on any future jobs. 

– Steve Radke. SAR Homes.

While searching for a product that offered a sturdy feel underfoot as we transitioned from a concrete slab to a subfloor system, I came across Platinum “R” floor. We will be considering this product for all our high-end builds in the future.

Platinum Timber and Ply’s ‘R Floor’ helped us save time and money on our project by offering an innovative and energy-efficient solution. It eliminated the need for wet area set-downs in the subfloor and underfloor insulation, meeting all our local council requirements effortlessly. I recommend this product for its ease of installation and cost-effectiveness. A fantastic addition to our current and future projects.
