Project Overview

A homeowner did extensive research on the best product to use as underlay over concrete in their 350 sqm large residential new home build in Melbourne.

This research led them to the benefits and superior capabilities of STRUCTApanel H2 12mm as underlay for timber strip flooring.

STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is easily accessible anywhere in Australia via Australian Panels extensive supply partners.

The Project Requirements

As flooring underlay is a crucial component of any residential build, the key consideration for the homeowner was to find a product that had the following key benefits:

Consistency: A product that is consistent in its thickness and flatness with no internal delamination which can be experienced with other underlay products such as plywood
H2 Termite treated: Long term protection from termite attack
Fixing capacity: High fixing capacity for the top overlay of timber strip flooring
Sustainability: Meet required environmental and fire rating requirements including air quality and sustainable forestry practices.
ATFA endorsed: To ensure the product was supported via the ATFA Solid Timber Industry Standard.
Moisture durability: To be able to perform in conditions of short and long-term based humidity and temperature
Ease of installation: Smooth and consistent texture without any sanding required

The Solution

The homeowner engaged ATFA award-winning Grant Ferris Flooring to install 110 panels of STRUCTApanel H2 12mm as underlay for timber strip flooring at their new residential build in Melbourne.

STRUCTApanel H2 12mm was ultimately chosen for this installation as it provides a consistent, flat, durable, and termite-treated alternative to other products in the market, offering superior nail, and staple holding capability with no internal delamination.

STRUCTApanel H2 12mm panels provide a smooth, uniformly thick, solid base free of knots, voids or grain which means they can be bonded to other flooring components such as timber strip flooring with a glue adhesive, which spread easily and evenly over the smooth panel surfaces for greater tensile bond strength and without any sanding required.

STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is Australian Made from sustainable certified plantation forestry, and easily sourced with strong sales support throughout our national supply partners
