It's engineered for interior wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries, as well as exterior applications like balconies, verandahs and sundecks — anywhere a timber-based sheet floor would be at risk from moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurafloor uses the same tongue-and-groove joint technology as traditional sheet flooring systems (e.g. StructaFlor), which eliminates the need for noggin blocking under sheet joins — simplifying installation and speeding up the job. It installs with standard gun-nailing or screw-fixing and gives a solid, stable underfoot feel compared to timber-based sheet flooring, at a lower installed cost than standard compressed sheet flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior wet area flooring — bathrooms \u0026amp; laundries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalconies, verandahs \u0026amp; sundecks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral residential subfloor (alternative to particleboard\/plywood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight commercial flooring substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Innova (Etex Australia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Fibre cement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 19mm | Width: 600mm | Length: 2700mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 26.2 kg\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 1300 kg\/m³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint system: Tongue-and-groove — no noggin blocking required at joins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing: Standard gun-nailing or screw-fixing to timber or steel joists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructural: Yes — meets AS\/NZS 1170.1 Category A domestic\/residential loading (1.8kN concentrated load, 4kPa UDL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire: Non-combustible per NCC C1.12 — Early Fire Hazard Indices of 0 for ignition, spread of flame and heat evolved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard: Manufactured to AS2908 Cellulose Cement Products, Type A Category 3 (external use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimilar to: James Hardie Secura Flooring 19mm \/ CSR Constructor Floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFix to timber or lightweight steel joists at a maximum of 450mm centres (19mm sheet) — joist face must be at least 45mm wide, with a floor joist supporting every sheet end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse corrosion-resistant (Class 3 minimum) fasteners — e.g. Paslode Deckfast galvanised screw 2.8 x 50mm for timber framing, or Buildex Wingtek 10g x 16 x 40 for steel framing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet-area tiled floors: install and waterproof strictly per AS 3740-2010, with a mortar bed laid to a minimum 1:60 fall to the floor waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior decking: minimum 1:100 fall to an outside edge is required in all cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable and low-maintenance — won't rot or burn, and is unaffected by termites, air, steam, salt and sunlight across a 0°C to 95°C temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Fulfilment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlat-rate delivery on our own trucks across Melbourne and Greater Melbourne — three flat rates from $89, dispatched in 2–5 days.
