Strong and compliant – why builders trust Strandfloor® H3.1

05 Feb 2026, PlaceMakers News, Product news

When it comes to building strong, reliable floors that stand the test of time, Strandfloor® H3.1 sets the benchmark for performance and sustainability 

Manufactured in New Zealand from high-density reconstituted wood panels, this innovative Laminex product combines advanced engineering with environmental responsibility to deliver flooring solutions that builders and homeowners can trust. 

Why Choose Strandfloor® H3.1? 

  1. Superior moisture resistance. Designed to meet NZS3602 requirements for timber floors in wet areas, Strandfloor® H3.1 offers a 12-week weathering exposure period, giving builders flexibility during construction without compromising quality. 
  2. Full penetration treatment. Each strand is treated prior to bonding, ensuring complete protection throughout the panel. This eliminates the need for retreating cut edges during installation – a major time and cost saver on site. 
  3. Certified for confidence. Backed by CodeMark certification and BRANZ appraisal (No. 677), Strandfloor® H3.1 meets rigorous standards for safety and performance. It also holds Declare certification, is FSC-certified, and complies with Super E-Zero (SE0) formaldehyde emissions, making it a healthier choice for homes. 
  4. Built for strength. With a bending strength of 23.8 MPa and modulus of elasticity of 3469 MPa, Strandfloor® H3.1 delivers exceptional structural integrity. Its durability is further enhanced by a resin system that resists swelling and maintains stability under pressure. 
  5. Ease of installation. No specialist cutting or dust extraction equipment is required, simplifying the installation process and reducing on-site complexity. 

Versatile applications 

From pre-laid or post-laid flooring over timber or steel joists to overlays on concrete, staircase construction, and even cabinetry carcasses, Strandfloor® H3.1 is as versatile as it is robust. 

Sustainably made in New Zealand 

Proudly manufactured locally, Strandfloor® H3.1 supports responsible forestry and sustainable building practices without compromising on performance. 

Build smarter. Build stronger. Build with Strandfloor® H3.1.
