Happening now: New Products, Updates and Opportunities!
This quarter has been bustling with activity and innovation, and we humbly bring you our latest updates.
We have officially launched our brand new Heartridge website to celebrate a decade of Heartridge. But that’s not all – stay tuned for our upcoming collaboration with Taubmans Paint, which will introduce an innovative new tool on our website.
In addition, we introduced Heartridge’s brand new Elmfield Vinyl Collection, offering 12 stunning colours, which can be used with Ultralay, our new Hard-Set Vinyl Plank Adhesive. Our commercial underlay range is also expanding with the fast-approaching launch of Performa 7 – a new dual bond carpet underlay.
We would also like to extend our thanks to our valued retail partners at Solomons, Andersens, Carpet Court, Floorworld and Harvey Norman for inviting us to their annual conferences.
As always, these events offered excellent opportunities to showcase new products and strengthen our connections.
We continue to support Sacred Heart Mission each month by sending a team of volunteers to prepare and serve meals at their dining hall to the homeless or disadvantaged. A special thanks to our partners at Choices for dedicating their time to support this invaluable cause.
If you have any news, updates or exciting stories to share, we value your input and would love to hear from you.

TESTED AND APPROVED
Our Vinyl Planks undergo rigourous testing in accordance with Australian standards. They are free from toxic phthalates and have remarkably low levels of VOCs.
WIDE PLANK

RIVIERA OAK RANGE
BENEFITS
NATURAL TIMBER VARIATION & CHARACTER
Engineered Timber is a natural product; each board is different in its own unique way. Timber flooring has natural features and character, with knots and variations in each colour.
ACOUSTICALLY SOUND
As more people choose multilevel, residential living, the issue of sound insulation has never been more important. For added acoustic performance, a Dunlop Timber Underlay is recommended for installation.
COATED FOR SURFACE PROTECTION
Our flooring is protected by an exceptional Klumpp UV-cured urethane coating, ensuring outstanding wear resistance to preserve the excellent condition of your timber floor.
LAYERED TO LAST
Our Engineered Timber is designed for strength and durability. Each plank is layered with a 3mm thick, European oak veneer that matures naturally with age, while a pine core provides optimal stability underfoot.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the beauty of your hardwood floors is easy. Simply wipe with a damp or dry cloth to always keep them looking their best.
FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION
Our Engineered Timber floors use a 5G click locking system for easier installation that is twice as fast as older systems, letting you enjoy your space in no time.

We are thrilled to share our highlights from the recent roadshow where the Dunlop team hit the road across WA, SA, VIC and QLD. This year, we were able to showcase our Fairhaven 120 Collection Hybrid range and introduce the brand-new Fairhaven Premium Oak.
The response was positive with many expressing excitement over our latest products. A huge thank you to Solomons for hosting us for another year and making this event such a success.
Andersens Conference Highlight
It was a great opportunity for Dunlop to present some of our top products at the Andersens Conference held at the Gold Coast, QLD. We showcased our new Heartridge Riviera Oak range, Renu Underlay, and Andersens-exclusive Diamond Touch 9 and 11 Underlays. The Dunlop stand was buzzing with activity and positive feedback from attendees.
We want to extend our thanks to the Andersens team for putting together a successful event and for having us yet again.

We would like to thank Harvey Norman for inviting us to their conference this year. The event proved to be highly productive, offering us a valuable opportunity to present our diverse product range and explore new opportunities with the attendees.
Engaging in insightful discussions with the group allowed us to better understand their needs and interests, and we are excited about the potential collaborations that may arise from these interactions.
