Will it suit your home?
Straight answers, from the manufacturer’s own documents.
- 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.
Conditions apply; we’ll confirm for your room at the measure.
About this floor
A cosy room starts with Dusky: intense, deep brown, styled in a clean, minimal way.
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.
