Excellence is a 12mm laminate for homes and light commercial use, rated AC4, with an aluminium-oxide wear layer over an E1 HDF core. Boards are 2250mm long and 193mm wide, with bevelled edges, a drop-lock joining system and embossing that follows the printed grain. Eight colours run from the pale, sun-faded Dover through golden Australian species looks to the deep brown Dusky, with a salvaged-timber look in Nomad. The surface is water-resistant to everyday spills, but it is not for bathrooms, laundries or steamy rooms, and steam mops void the warranty. It floats over the approved underlay and suits in-slab hydronic heating within the manufacturer’s limits. Keep the home between 15 and 25 °C and 30–70% humidity. Warranty is lifetime structural, 25 years residential wear and 5 years commercial, subject to the manufacturer’s installation and care conditions.

Will it suit your home?

Bathrooms & laundriesNot suitable
Not for bathrooms, laundries or steamy rooms; flooding, leaks and spills such as pet urine aren't covered by the warranty.
Underfloor heatingWith conditions
Suits in-slab hydronic heating only, with the slab surface kept at 26°C or below; other heating types aren't recommended.
Sanding & refinishingNot applicable
Laminate has a printed design layer under its wear surface, so it can't be sanded or refinished.
Pets & high trafficWith care
AC4 copes with busy homes, but the warranty doesn't cover claw scratches, dents or pet accidents, so use mats and felt pads.
Apartments (acoustic)Check strata rules
Tested with the matching underlay, but full test details aren't published, so check with us and your strata before choosing it for an apartment.
