NZ FLOORING COMPANY WINS AUSTRALASIAN PRIZE
New Zealand flooring company Ecodure has been awarded Runner Up Australasian Hybrid Flooring of the year 2025 at the Australasian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA) awards last month for their revolutionary product DuracoreSilent®.

Quite possibly the quietest acoustic flooring on the market, DuracoreSilent® was recognised for its market-leading noise transfer reducing abilities in addition to being waterproof and durable while featuring a genuine oiled-oak aesthetic.
Introduced to the market late 2023, this acoustic marvel already won Ecodure the NZ Hybrid Floor of 2024 ATFA Award and has quickly built a solid track record as an industry favourite with architects, specifiers and renovators alike. This high-performance floor is GreenGuard Gold accredited and has been selected for a vast range of projects throughout NZ.
Multi-level apartment developments as well as individual homes and apartments have benefited from the easy ‘click planks’ installation technology requiring no underlays or adhesives, thereby eliminating extra steps or waiting time during installation.

As the exclusive supplier of Duracore®, Ecodure is thrilled with the double ATFA recognition. "Our team is incredibly proud to receive this recognition for our innovative DuracoreSilent®. This product represents the future of flooring with both acoustic and aesthetic advantages,” says director Nic Blackie. "Winning this award only strengthens our commitment to continue delivering high-quality, innovative flooring solutions. We’re incredibly grateful to our whole team and all of our customers who believe in and support our products.”
