Aspire Australian 8.0mm

Genuine Australian timber character. Waterproof, quiet and dimensionally stable. Specified with confidence.

A rigid-core (RCB) hybrid built around authentic Australian timber species — engineered for modern housing, light commercial and retail fit-out where the floor has to look the part and perform under everyday use. Supplied and supported by EcoFloors NZ as your specification partner.

A more stable core

Aspire is built on a Rigid Composite Core Board (RCB) — manufactured from inert mineral compounds that stay dimensionally stable with little to no movement across temperature change. That stability is what lets a hybrid perform well beyond what's typically expected of luxury vinyl: less expansion and contraction, fewer gapping and lifting issues, and a floor that holds its line across large open-plan areas and repeat dwellings.

Acoustic comfort and moisture confidence

Every plank carries an attached cross-linked IXPE acoustic underlay, reducing footfall noise and adding underfoot warmth and comfort — with nothing separate to source or install. Combined with interior-waterproof construction, a single finish can run through living areas, kitchens and hallways with fewer transitions and fewer moisture callbacks.*


Specify with confidence

Supplied and supported by EcoFloors NZ as your specification partner — with project pricing, full technical documentation (acoustic, slip, fire, VOC, SDS) and samples for your next development.

Why interior designers specify it

This is Aspire's signature. The Australian Timber range captures the warmth and grain of Blackbutt and Spotted Gum across 10 décor visuals, with advanced embossing run the full length and width of each plank — including the micro-bevel — for natural texture and depth. Classic-width planks for an authentic timber read, finished in a water-based PU coating for everyday scuff resistance.

Why it works for builders and developers

Cut-to-size and angle-click (Valinge) install lays fast over prepared subfloors or existing tiles with minimal telegraphing. High-impact wear layer, P3 slip rating and fire-test qualified — built to take handover and tenant-turnover wear. FloorScore SCS Certified for interior air quality.
