Flooring
Ideal subfloor surfaces for all types of floor coverings including vinyl, ceramic tiles, slate, parquetry, and carpet.
The ForestOne range of flooring includes both plywood and particleboard substrates. Both strong and high quality, find the stress grade and thickness you need for your project and choose from treated or non treated to get exactly what you need.
Plywood Flooring
Plywood was the first type of engineered wood to be invented. It is made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers. These are stacked together with the direction of each ply’s grain differing from its neighbours’ by 90° (cross banding). The plies are bonded under heat and pressure with strong adhesives, usually phenol formaldehyde resin, making plywood a type of composite material. Laminating an odd number of plies reduces warping while increasing the number of plies increases the resistance to shearing forces.
A common reason for using plywood instead of plain wood is its resistance to cracking, shrinkage, twisting/warping, and its general high degree of strength.
Tongue and Groove plywood is strong and stable, with a pre-sanded C-grade face panel available in a range of thicknesses suitable for use in structural and non-structural flooring. It has a machined groove along its edges, with a single plastic tongue to form a tongue and groove joint between sheets.
Particleboard Flooring
Particleboard flooring is a well-established product in the Australian home building industry and provides major cost savings through its economy and lighter construction. Particleboard flooring is also available with fungus resistance (F), termite resistance (H2), or fire retardancy (FR).
Specifications for particleboard flooring can be found in AS 1860.1 and installation requirements in AS 1860.2.
