- Sub-type
- Engineered pre-finished timber (2-Strip format): ±2.5mm real Australian-hardwood surface layer (EN 13489) over a Hevea engineered core (±8mm) with 2mm Spruce backing. Not hybrid/vinyl/laminate.
- Total thickness (mm)
- ±14mm nominal
- Wear layer (hybrid/vinyl)
- N/A — not a hybrid/vinyl product. This is engineered timber; the wear surface is a solid 2.5mm hardwood veneer, not a vinyl/hybrid wear layer.
- Veneer layer (timber)
- ±2.5mm nominal real Australian-hardwood surface layer (EN 13489, PEFC controlled sources).
- AC/abrasion class (laminate)
- N/A — not a laminate. Wear resistance is measured as DIN 68861 S33 >550 cycles, not an AC laminate abrasion class.
- Janka (timber)
- —
- Species/decor
- 6 real hardwood species: Blackbutt, Jarrah, Merbau, Spotted Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tasmanian Oak. Origin: Australia (Merbau from Malaysia). Offered across 1/2/3-strip formats and Gloss/Low Sheen/Matt Brushed finishes.
- Plank width
- 186mm (2-Strip).
- Core/construction
- Multi-layer engineered: ±2.5mm hardwood surface + Hevea core ±8mm nominal + 2mm Spruce backing (all PEFC controlled sources). Not HDF, not plywood.
- Water resistance
- Real timber — water-resistant, not waterproof. Edge Protect+ = 15-year warranty against moisture staining along board edges; Surface & Edge Protect+ (lacquered only) = 15-year warranty against dirt trapped within the surface coating. Not for wet areas.
- Warranty (res/comm)
- Residential: 25-year Wear Warranty; Lifetime Structural Warranty; Lifetime Uniclic® joining-system warranty; 15-year Edge Protect+ (edge moisture staining) and 15-year Surface & Edge Protect+ (lacquered, coating). Commercial: On request. Conditions apply.
- Wear layer (microns)
- N/A — genuine timber veneer (2.5mm solid sandable hardwood, measured in mm), not a printed decor with a micron wear film. Micron wear layers apply only to laminate/vinyl.
- Plank length (mm)
- 2200mm (2-Strip); pack = 6 planks = 2.455m²; pallet = 135.04m² (55 packs).
- Locking system
- Uniclic® 4-sided glueless click joint; Lifetime warranty on the joining system.
- Installation method
- Floating (always on a Quick-Step Underlay) OR Direct Stick / glue-down (always using Quick-Step Parquet Adhesive) — both officially sanctioned.
- Attached underlay
- No pre-attached/integrated underlay. Floating installs require a separate Quick-Step Underlay (per the TDS Installation Instructions).
- Slip resistance (AS 4586)
- AS 4586 Pendulum test: P1 (Gloss) / P2 (Low Sheen) / P3 (Matt Brushed).
- Fire – CRF + smoke (AS ISO 9239.1)
- ISO 9239.1: Critical Radiant Flux 4.6 kW/m²; Smoke 13%.
- VOC / formaldehyde (class + cert)
- Formaldehyde ≤E1 (EN 717-1 Large Chamber); PCP ≤5 ppm (CEN/TR 14823:2004); AFFSET class A (France); PEFC PEFC/07-32-37; CE EN 14342:2013 (notified body 0766 EPH Dresden, DOP QW 0507); EPD available on request.
- Underfloor heating
- Compatible with underfloor heating with conditions, EXCEPT Blackbutt and Spotted Gum (not suitable — follow special installation instructions for heated subfloors). Heat resistance 0.14 m²·K/W (EN 12664:2001).
- Bevel / edge profile
- 2-Strip = Nil bevel (official TDS). Bevels and surface textures vary by product across the range.
- Surface texture / finish
- Pre-finished UV-cured lacquer — 7 layers of anti-scratch UV acrylic lacquer. Sheen/texture vary by product (Gloss / Low Sheen / Matt Brushed).
- Impact sound (IIC)
- No standalone board IIC/impact-sound rating is published — acoustic performance is determined by the required Quick-Step underlay. Related TDS figures: heat resistance 0.14 m²·K/W; castor-chair ISO 4918 tested 25,000 (with underlay).
- Country of origin
- Timber-species origin: Australia (all AU hardwoods); Merbau from Malaysia; PEFC controlled sources. Finished engineered-board country of manufacture is not stated on the TDS.
