In Australia, the relevant standard for floating floors is AS 1884-2012 – Floor coverings – Resilient sheet and tiles, planks and floating floor systems – Installation practices. This standard provides guidelines for the installation of floating floors, including the required subfloor conditions, underlayment materials, and installation methods.
Additionally, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) sets out minimum requirements for the fire resistance and acoustic performance of flooring systems in different types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
It’s important to ensure that any floating floor product you choose meets the relevant Australian standards and regulations, and that the installation is carried out by a qualified and experienced installer who follows the manufacturer’s instructions and industry best practices. This can help ensure the longevity and safety of your flooring system.
