What is Armourpanel?

Armourpanel Armourfloor office interior workspace design

Armourpanel® is Australia’s strongest decorative plywood. Layers of tightly bonded Australian eucalypt hardwood veneers form panels of exceptional strength, stability and solidity.

Each sheet has been designed, tested and approved for use in extreme heat and humidity. It can tolerate extremes of heat and humidity or sudden changes in ambient temperature. Its toughness and resistance to shrinkage make it the ideal material for wall linings, ceilings, and floors, even in high-traffic areas.

The natural varying beauty of Australian hardwoods shines through in each piece of Armourpanel®. No two sheets are alike, since no wood pattern ever repeats itself in nature. Every sheet you get has its all-natural individual look.

The beauty and durability of these hardwood veneers are what make Armourpanel® the popular choice for luxury residential or commercial applications. With just one plywood brand, you get all the elegance, strength and durability that your project requires.

What is Armourfloor?

Armourfloor Australian spotted gum plywood

If you want a more cohesive use of material from top to bottom, go with Armourfloor® as well. Armourfloor® is the most stable timber flooring available in Australia and New Zealand markets today. It is sourced and manufactured in Australia from the same sustainable native eucalypt hardwoods that Armourpanel® is made from. Thus, you get the same natural beauty and durability for your interior floors.

Every Armourfloor® board is made up of five layers of Australian hardwood veneers that are bonded in a cross-ply structure. These boards have extreme stability and versatility; you can use them as a floating floor or glued directly to an existing subfloor (even concrete).

Armourfloor® is available in board widths of 138mm and 189mm. The standard length is generally 1800mm, but you can also get boards up to 2400mm in length (subject to availability). The boards come in four native Australian hardwood species for you to choose from. Armourfloor®also comes to you uncoated, so you have the option for custom finishing on-site. (Note: Flooring packs delivered to your site will also include 40% extra random plywood lengths, to help deal with every corner of your flooring layout.)
