About Royal AquaCore Oak

Real European oak, 3.2 mm thick, over our water-resistant AquaCore, in 1900 x 190 x 15 mm boards. Floating or glued down, ten colours, 30 year residential structural warranty.

Description

Royal AquaCore Oak puts a real European oak veneer, 3.2 mm thick, on our AquaCore, a water-resistant core with a pine balancing layer. It handles ordinary household spills far better than a traditional timber floor while still being real oak you can see and feel.

The wide 1900 x 190 mm boards are 15 mm thick with a micro bevel and a matte, lightly to medium brushed finish. Each board is protected by 9 to 11 coats of Teknos Treffert parquet lacquer, including an anti-scratch sealer and a super-matt top coat. It can be floated over an underlay, strip glued or trowel glued, and is rated for both homes and commercial spaces.

It is backed by our 30 year residential structural warranty.

Is Royal AquaCore Oak right for you?

Great for

  • Open-plan living, kitchens and dining areas
  • Anyone who wants real oak with better spill resistance
  • Homes and commercial spaces
  • Higher wet slip resistance: P4

Good to know

  • AquaCore handles everyday indoor spills, but it is not for wet areas: bathrooms, laundries, pool areas, saunas, sunrooms or rooms that get hotter than 27°C.
  • A moisture barrier goes under every installation: 200 µm under a floating floor, or a moisture barrier coating before it is glued down.
  • It is real timber, so colour and grain vary from board to board and the colour can mellow with sunlight. Blinds or curtains help in strong direct sun.
  • Over hydronic in-slab heating it works, but the AquaCore insulates, so expect the heating to be about 50% less effective.

Questions people ask about Royal AquaCore Oak

What warranty does Royal AquaCore Oak have?

It has our 30 year residential structural warranty, and 5 years structural for light commercial use (conditions apply). Our installation work is also covered by our 2 year installation warranty.

Is it waterproof?

AquaCore is waterproof against ordinary indoor spills, so a dropped drink or damp mopping will not hurt it. It is still not for wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries.

Is it real timber?

Yes. The top layer is real European oak, 3.2 mm thick, so every board has its own grain and natural features.

Can it go over underfloor heating?

Yes, over hydronic in-slab heating with the surface kept at or below 27°C. Because AquaCore insulates, the heating is about 50% less effective than through a thinner floor.

Can it be glued down?

Yes. It can be floated over an underlay, strip glued or trowel glued. Glued direct to concrete it tested at AAAC 5 star for acoustics.

Can I see Royal AquaCore Oak before I buy?

Yes. Visit our Penrith, Campbelltown, Hornsby or Logan showroom, or book a free measure and quote and we will bring samples to your home.
