What is Hybrid Flooring?
Hybrid flooring combines the best features of laminate and vinyl in one plank. Each board has four layers:
- Wear layer: a tough, UV-cured coating that resists scratches, stains and fading.
- Design layer: a high-definition print of timber or stone, often embossed for a real-grain feel.
- Rigid core: usually SPC (stone plastic composite), which is waterproof and stays stable when temperatures change.
- Acoustic underlay: a pre-attached backing that softens footsteps and reduces noise.

How to Choose the Best Hybrid Floors for Your Home
Not all hybrid floorboards are made the same. The best hybrid floors for your home depend on how you live. Here is what our team checks with every customer:
Board thickness
6.5mm to 9mm suits most homes. Thicker boards feel more solid and handle minor subfloor variation better.
Wear layer
0.3mm suits light traffic. Choose 0.5mm or more for families, pets and rentals.
Core type
SPC cores are denser and more stable in direct sun than softer WPC cores.
Acoustic rating
Apartments often need a specific acoustic rating to meet strata by-laws, so check before you buy.
Plank size
Wide and long planks open up a room; herringbone adds a designer finish.
Warranty
Look for a residential structural warranty and a clear surface warranty.
Not sure which to pick? Bring a photo of your room to the showroom and we will shortlist two or three boards that fit your space and budget.

Where Hybrid Flooring Works Best
Hybrid is ideal for living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, kitchens and laundries. For bathrooms and showers, most manufacturers do not recommend floating floors because water can sit under the boards. That is where our porcelain tiles come in, and we can match tile and hybrid colours so the transition looks seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions before you request a quote? Here are the ones we get asked most.
Can hybrid flooring be installed over tiles?
Yes, in most cases. If existing tiles are firmly bonded and level, hybrid can float straight over them. We check this during the free measure.
Is hybrid flooring suitable for bathrooms?
We do not recommend it for bathrooms or showers. The core is waterproof, but water can pool beneath the boards. Porcelain tiles are the better choice there.
How long does hybrid flooring installation take?
Most homes take 1 to 2 days. Larger homes or jobs that need floor removal and levelling can take longer.
Are hybrid floorboards good for pets and kids?
Yes. A wear layer of 0.5mm or more resists scratches and stains, and the waterproof core handles spills and accidents.
Can hybrid flooring be used in apartments?
Yes, with the right acoustic underlay. Many strata buildings set a minimum acoustic rating, so check your by-laws and we will recommend a compliant board.
Do you sell hybrid flooring supply only?
Yes. You can buy supply only for your own installer, or choose our full supply and installation service. Trade accounts are available.
