Extreme is a 12mm laminate built for heavy wear, with an AC5 heavy-commercial abrasion rating, an aluminium-oxide wear layer and a Carb 2 HDF core. Boards are 2200 x 193mm with bevelled edges and a Välinge 5G click system, and the embossing follows the printed grain for a more convincing timber feel. Ten colours cover light and natural oaks, golden and brown tones, a grey-brown, and Australian Blackbutt and Spotted Gum looks. The surface is water-resistant to everyday spills; wipe them up promptly. It is not for bathrooms, laundries or other 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. The current warranty gives lifetime structural cover, 30 years residential wear and 10 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
AC5 is very hard-wearing, 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.
