The Metropolis is an architectural statement in Auckland's CBD. It conjures the significance, style and grandeur of metropolitan Manhattan, Chicago and Washington with elegant apartments enjoying the excitement of inner city-living, surrounded by diverse shops, cafes and bars that heighten the urban village atmosphere.

Very demanding acoustic requirements meant the flooring had to meet rigorous standards, DuracoreSilent® was selected for its minimal 7.5mm buildup and excellent IIC rating without the need for additional underlays and adhesives.

The Art of the Floating Floor

When it comes to modern flooring design, few techniques showcase elegance and precision quite like a expertly installed floating floor. At Ecodure Flooring, we’ve perfected the craft of creating floors that appear to flow seamlessly wall-to-wall, slipping effortlessly beneath cabinetry and fixtures, all while maintaining the integrity and functionality of a floating system. This isn’t just flooring—it’s an art form, and it’s one we take pride in delivering with unmatched attention to detail.
