R-Flor® Radiant Barrier Flooring
R-FLOR® RADIANT BARRIER FLOORING

|
The next generation flooring - designed for thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
R-Flor is unique in that it integrates a high reflectance (low emittance) metallised foil with particleboard flooring to significantly reduce the radiative heat transfer across a suspended timber floor and subfloor air space to deliver an improvement in the "Total R-Value" of the flooring system, yet enables flooring to be installed in the conventional manner delivering speed and ease.
R-Flor enables the commonly used and long established practice of building using the platform construction method for suspended subfloors; furthermore, flooring can continue to be installed in a manner consistent with the requirements of AS1860 Part 2: Particleboard Flooring Installation.
R-Flor shares a heritage in product innovation that began well over a quarter of a century ago with the introduction of StructaFlor® and more recently with TermiFlor® as a practical, versatile and cost effective flooring solution.
R-Flor is a technically advanced flooring product resulting from years of research and development in collaboration with leading Australian universities and industry partners. R-Flor is manufactured using an ingenious dual-lamination process that applies a blue protective film to the top surface and a reflective foil to the underside of the particleboard flooring which is post-perforated. The perforations enable effective drying of the flooring material and combined with the protective surface film produce a flooring product that is stable when exposed to the weather during the construction phase.
Benefits
Improves Thermal Comfort
- Improves living comfort
