StayReady · Warm
Warm white and natural oak — photographs inviting, wears gracefully.
Price is a relative direction only — never a quotation. The real figure is confirmed by ALUMAX or a specialist at site measurement.
One approved build, component by component.
The warmest StayReady palette — the most forgiving over a long let. One approved, repeatable build: ALUMAX supplies the cabinetry, glass and metal; specialists supply floor, paint, textiles and lighting to the ELS requirement. Everything is specified for unfamiliar users, fast turnover, and the listing photo.
| Component | Route | ELS specification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main cabinetry (dry) | ALUMAX | Natural oak with warm-white fronts, matte — a mid-tone that hides dust and wear over a long tenancy and repeats identically across units.ALUMAX code confirmed on the finishes catalogue. | Primary |
| Wet-zone cabinetry | ALUMAX | ACP or honeycomb aluminium in the matched warm finish — survives daily turnover cleaning and unfamiliar use; a damaged front swaps out fast.ALUMAX code confirmed on the finishes catalogue. | Conditional |
| Countertop | ALUMAX | Warm-cream, low-movement quartz, honed or matt — non-porous, stain- and heat-tolerant for guest use.ALUMAX code confirmed on the finishes catalogue.Approved equivalent: A specialist-supplied warm-cream, low-movement quartz is an accepted equivalent. | Supporting |
| Metal & hardware | ALUMAX | Champagne bronze, per the Metal & Hardware Standard — its warm-timber trigger; PVD on aluminium so it holds up in humid coastal air.ALUMAX code confirmed on the finishes catalogue. | Accent-only |
| Flooring | Specialist trade | Natural oak-look SPC (rigid core, wear layer ≥0.55mm) or porcelain (PEI ≥4), plank or 600×1200mm, matt, R10 minimum (R11 to wet zones), ≤3mm grout — rated for repeated turnover traffic. | Supporting |
| Wall paint | Specialist trade | Warm white, LRV 76–83, Class 1 scrubbable washable, low-VOC, anti-mould in humid rooms — one photographic feature wall per key room, the rest easy to touch up between stays. | Sample hold |
| Soft furnishings & textiles | Specialist trade | The differentiation layer: curtains (sheer + blackout), bedding, cushions and a headboard in warm sand with a terracotta or ochre accent. Specified so a cleaner resets it fast and a damaged piece is cheap to swap. | Supporting |
| Lighting | Specialist trade | 3000K, CRI ≥90 — warm and inviting for the listing photo; layered on the P1 listing-hero rooms, kept simple and durable elsewhere. | Conditional |
| High-gloss fronts | ALUMAX | Not used in StayReady — gloss lacquer shows every fingerprint and scuff from unfamiliar users and photographs with glare. A fine matte or anti-fingerprint supermatt is specified instead.ALUMAX code confirmed on the finishes catalogue. | Not recommended |
