The Need for Change
Mangos’ dissatisfaction with plywood stemmed from recurring problems such as delamination, which not only compromised the structural integrity of the flooring but also required additional time and effort to fix.
Discovering STRUCTApanel H2 12mm
In his search for a more reliable underlay, Mangos found STRUCTApanel H2 12mm, a product that has since transformed his approach to flooring installations. Unlike plywood, STRUCTApanel H2 12mm provides a smooth, uniformly thick, and solid base, free of knots or voids. This consistency ensures a flat and stable surface, ideal for laying timber strip flooring.
“STRUCTApanel is just so consistent,” says Mangos. “The panels are smooth, even, and solid—exactly what you need as a base for timber flooring.”
Superior Performance
One of the standout features of STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is its superior nail and staple holding capability. This is crucial for the long-term durability of the flooring system, as a secure underlay prevents movement and extends the lifespan of the installation. Mangos found that STRUCTApanel H2 12mm outperformed plywood in this regard, with no risk of internal delamination.
“The nail and staple holding on STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is top-notch,” Mangos explains. “Once the flooring is down, it’s secure and built to last.”
Additionally, the smooth surface of STRUCTApanel H2 12mm facilitates easy bonding with timber strip flooring using glue adhesive.
Sustainable and Locally Sourced
STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is made in Australia from sustainably certified plantation forestry, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally responsible products. For Mangos, supporting local manufacturing while offering a high-quality product is a significant advantage.
“Knowing that STRUCTApanel H2 12mm is sustainably sourced and Australian-made is a big plus,” Mangos notes.
Conclusion
For Michael Mangos, STRUCTApanel H2 12mm has proven to be a superior alternative to plywood, offering consistency, durability, and ease of installation. His success with this product underscores its value in the flooring industry, setting a new standard for underlay materials.
“If you’re still using plywood, do yourself a favor and make the switch to STRUCTApanel H2 12mm,” Mangos concludes. “You won’t regret it.”
