Adam Keys from Bowens in Victoria shares his thoughts about where the value with Alphafloor sits.

When a builder asks why spend more, the answer isn't the product, it's what the homeowner actually lives with.

Quiet floors above a bedroom, a home that performs to a real star rating, warm feet on a cold balcony in a Melbourne winter if you've got hot wire products installed too.

That's where the value shows up.

I swear I'm talking to the air.

On an average 100sqm floor, the gap between particle board and Alphafloor works out to about $4k... on your million dollar home...

AND on a house people are happy to spend $150,000 upgrading a slab for.

Can I get anymore clear?

Tier one experience, brought into the residential world.

Avern builds, luxury homes, heritage restorations, and everything between, with relationships that outlast the build itself and Alphafloor to add that premium feel to every home.

MgO-S board is bound with Epsom salt chemistry, the same stuff that dissolves in a warm bath.

Builders are installing it in bathrooms and on balconies where leaks and long construction windows are inevitable.

ALPHAFLOOR uses Portland cement, the same binder that holds dams underwater for centuries.

Adam, product manager for Alphafloor at Bowens Victoria, on why the acoustic performance matters for your floor.

He's stood on site with a compressor running underneath, no walls up, and couldn't hear it. That's not a marginal upgrade, it's a different category of flooring altogether.

Under 1.5mm panel-to-panel thickness variation. That's the tolerance XCEM is now grinding to on every Alphafloor panel, following a $9 million investment into plant and equipment at the Southern Highlands facility.

Squarer ends, tighter joints, a harder and more dimensionally stable panel, and a smoother, denser surface with fewer voids to prep before waterproofing.

Suspended slabs mean bringing in extra trades, then waiting for steel and curing before anyone can even drive equipment on site.

Alphafloor lets one carpenter frame and lay flooring in the same stretch of work, cutting the back and forth and keeping the build moving.

$4,000 is the difference between particleboard and a concrete floor on a home you're about to spend a million dollars building.

Water tells you everything about a material.

Pour it on aerated concrete and it disappears straight in, that's the moisture already working its way toward mould and softening.

Pour it on ALPHAFLOOR and it just sits there. Built for job sites that don't stay dry.
