Structural Flooring
- A structural floor system is an alternative to building a home on concrete slabs. It is essentially a framework made out of beams and joists which have been positioned to bridge from one exterior wall to another and create a raised platform for your flooring. ArchiPro has a great range of structural flooring selected from trusted suppliers around New Zealand.

The advantages of high-quality structural flooring
On ArchiPro, you know you’re getting the best quality products available in New Zealand. Structural floors are permanently installed into your home and part of your home’s structure. They have to be able to withstand a lot of daily activity, so it's advantageous to invest in high-quality structural flooring that is durable, reliable, and well-made. An advantage of structural flooring is that if it ever gets damaged, you can replace a single tile or plank rather than potentially having to replace the entire floor, as is the case with some surface floor coverings.
How to choose structural flooring that’s right for you
A structural floor system is an excellent choice if you live in a region of New Zealand prone to expansive or unstable soil because the lifted base isolates the flooring from the ground. Alternatively, constructing a home with a concrete slab base on unstable soil can lead to cracks and structural damage.
The type of flooring you choose is mostly down to aesthetics. Traditional hardwood is a great choice, as it is durable and gives you a lot of room for customisation. Depending on the wood you choose, it can give your home a contemporary or classic look. Tile or stone structural flooring can work well for an earthy, modern design.
