Description
A hybrid floor built for effortless care, with an authentic HD timber-inspired finish. Blackwood brings that into Sunstar’s Authentic Hybrid range, with dark tones and a warm feel.
A hybrid board, 7mm thick, with an embossed finish and Unilin Click installation. It’s made by Sunstar Flooring, who supply the Authentic Hybrid range through Multifors.
Behind the colour and finish, 703 Blackwood’s real numbers are what determine how it holds up in daily use — a 0.5mm wear layer, an AC4 Light Commercial rating, a 5 Star acoustic rating and P3 slip resistance together give a genuine read on performance rather than just first impressions. Underneath, it’s built on an SPC core with Ceramic surface protection, a combination that’s what keeps a floor like this performing consistently from the first box to the last rather than varying noticeably across a larger room. Each box covers 2.01sqm across 6 planks, making it straightforward to work out how many boxes a given room actually needs once its area is measured. With 5 pattern variations across the boards, the floor avoids an obviously repeating look once laid across a larger area.

- Clean Surface — Ensure the subfloor is free of debris and structurally sound.
- Leveling — Limit rises and falls to a maximum of 3mm over a 1000mm radius. Smooth imperfections to ensure a maximum 1mm deviation over 250mm area.
- Ventilation & Humidity — Timber subfloors should be well ventilated and meet building regulations for humidity. Concrete subfloors should not exceed 4.8% moisture.

Care & Maintenance
Tables, chairs, and sofas are often moved back and forth with extreme point loads that can lead to accelerated wear and tear of the coatings or scratching in localised areas. Under legs use felt pads, rugs can also be used in some locations where style can meet practicality, making sure to avoid rugs with rubber backings as these can cause staining.
Even furnishings that aren’t moved often should have a suitable no scratch surface in contact with the flooring.
Under desk chairs or other wheeled furnishings use a non- staining mat and rubber casters. Although be aware rubber will cause staining to the surface of the floor over time, so again select mats without rubber backing.
