R-Flor Radiant barrier particleboard flooring is the latest innovation from Carter Holt Harvey .
Developed to deliver improvements in thermal comfort and energy efficiency of suspended flooring systems.
R-Flor ideally integrates a high reflectance (low emittance) metallised foil with particleboard flooring to significantly reduce radiative heat transfer and improve the Total R-Value of the flooring system.
R-Flor offers builders and homeowners many advantages and benefits, whigh include the following:
- Increased overall R-Value of floor system
- Improved thermal comfort
- Reduction in energy use
- Greenhouse and environmentally friendly
- Fast and easy installation
The improvement of the Total R-Value by using R-Flor helps address energy efficiency compliance as is now required by the BCA, Five Star (Victoria) and Basix (NSW).
R-Flor reduces the heat transfer from a temperature stabilised room down through the floor into the subfloor air space below.
Like Structaflor and TermiFlor, R-Flor is easy to install and ideal for residential suspended sub-floor systems, built using the platform or fitted construction method.
Furthermore, flooring can be installed in-keeping with the requirements of AS1860 Part 2: Particleboard Flooring Installation. Builders need no special equipment or tools for installation and R-Flor is termite-treated for added protection.
Avoid the hassles and concerns associated with using other under-floor insulation products. R-Flor really does make a difference. R-Flor saves time, materials, money and energy.
