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?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
