Our highest-rated laminate: AC5 (EN33), 12 mm thick, with a watertight surface and moisture-resistant HDF core. Ten colours, 25 year residential warranty.
RoyalStep 12mm is our toughest laminate, with an AC5 (EN33) surface, the highest wear rating for laminate. It is built on an advanced high-density HDF core (900 to 920 kg per cubic metre, CARB-2 air quality) with a watertight surface: in testing it resisted water spills for over 120 hours, and bubbling or delamination for over 500 hours.
The Australian timber designs (Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Jarrah) come in narrower 194 mm boards with an anti-slip textured matte surface, for a more authentic eucalyptus look. The European oak designs are 235 mm wide with a 3D embossed-in-register surface that follows the grain. All boards are 1513 mm long with a laminated timber-design bevel and Välinge angle-to-angle click joints.
It is backed by our 25 year residential warranty.
