R-Flor® Radiant Barrier Particleboard Flooring is the latest innovation from Carter Holt Harvey. Developed to deliver improvements in thermal comfort and energy efficiency of suspended flooring systems. R-Flor uniquely integrates a high reflectance (low emittance) metallised foil with particleboard flooring to significantly reduce radiative heat transfer and improve the ‘Total R-Value’ of the flooring system.

R-Flor offers builders and homeowners many advantages and benefits

• Increased overall R-Value of floor system
• Improved thermal comfort
• Reduction in energy use
• Greenhouse and environmentally friendly
• Fast and easy installation

The improvement of the ‘Total R-Value’ by using R-Flor helps address energy efficiency compliance as is now required by the BCA, Five Star (Victoria) and Basix (NSW). R-Flor greatly reduces the heat transfer from a temperature stabilised room down through the floor into the subfloor air space below. A Total R-Value Calculator is now available online at www.chhwoodproducts.com.au/r-flor

Like Structaflor® and TermiFlor™, R-Flor is easy to install and ideal for residential suspended sub-floor systems, built using the platform or fitted construction method. Furthermore, flooring can be installed in-keeping with the requirements of AS1860 Part 2: Particleboard Flooring Installation. Builders need no special equipment or tools for installation and R-Flor is termite-treated for added protection.

Avoid the hassles and concerns associated with using other under-floor insulation products. R-Flor really does make a difference. R-Flor saves time, materials, money and energy.
