Spotted Gum - 8mm Oakleaf HD Plus Laminate Flooring

Spotted Gum on the 8mm Oakleaf HD Plus board: the same mid warm brown with a reddish cast and strong striping through the grain as the 12mm version. It is a fair reading of the species, which runs honey through amber to mid brown with far more plank-to-plank variation than oak, and it remains the boldest colour in the range.

The board is where the two differ. At 1215mm x 195mm the 8mm plank is shorter than the 12mm's 2200mm x 196mm, and on a high-variation species that cuts both ways: more end joins, but also less room for each plank's figure to read across its length. If the floor is going into a large open-plan space, the longer board genuinely suits this colour better. In a bedroom or a unit, the difference is far less noticeable. Everything else is identical: the same high definition digital print, AC4 wear rating, super matte coating, and the same 48 hour water-resistant system: a T Seam tight lock click profile, moisture-protection treated bevel edges and an independently tested water-resistant core.

Same warranty as the thicker board: 25 years limited structural and 20 years on the finish, and the same GOLD Greenguard certification for low chemical emissions. P3 slip under AS 4586, micro bevel on four sides, floating click installation.

Both boards are suitable over in-slab hydronic heating only, not electric underfloor heating. Supply and install available across Sydney.
