Preference Floors
Aspire RCB
Preference's rigid core board, pitched at light commercial and retail fit-out as much as at housing. Its 0.7mm wear layer is double Easi-Plank's, and the range splits cleanly in two: four Australian hardwood décors at 178mm, ten contemporary colours at 223mm. If you are doing a shopfront, a café or a strata common area, this is usually the range we quote first.

Where it doesn’t suit
Aspire is specified for light commercial, not heavy commercial. A busy retail entry or a gym floor will chew through it. Its slip rating is P3, a step below Easi-Plank and Hydroplank, so think twice about a wet entry. Tell us the actual traffic and we will tell you whether it is enough.

Why there is no price here
The number depends on your area, your subfloor and what preparation it needs — and a preparation surprise on the day is the thing that turns a good quote into a bad one. We measure first, then quote once, itemised.
