Hybrid Flooring: Simply the Best 

While there might be numerous flooring materials, each has its disadvantages, solid timber flooring is durable and attractive, yet the high cost puts a lot of homeowners off. Stone is timeless, but sadly, it ranks with solid timber at the top of the price range, and for the majority of Australian homeowners, both timber and stone are too expensive to consider. If we take a look at composites, vinyl has the looks, while laminated flooring is durable, and if you could merge these two together, you would have the ideal flooring material. Enter Hybrid Flooring. 

What is Hybrid Flooring? 

The word “hybrid” means a combination, and when you take the durability of laminate and blend it with the look and feel of vinyl, the end result is a visually appealing, durable flooring that will stand the test of time – scratch and buff resistant, this composite comes in planks and is very easy to install. Hybrid flooring ticks all the boxes, and with stunning hi-res digital images of the very best timber and stone finishes, you are literally spoiled for choice. 

Multiple Layers 

Hybrid flooring is made up of several key layers; the core, a waterproof backing, the decorative layer (digital image) and finally, a thin protective membrane. The layers are crisscrossed to give it added strength, resulting in a lightweight, but very strong sheeting that is totally impervious. 

Silent Running 

One thing you do want in your flooring is silence underfoot, and with a special backing, hybrid flooring is both silent and soft to walk on. If you love the idea of a travertine floor, but couldn’t bear the coldness, hybrid flooring is for you. Even over large expanses, there is zero movement with this amazing composite, and extreme temperatures make no difference. You could throw a bucket of water over a hybrid floor and squeegee it all away! The average spill is soon cleaned up and there’s no rush to do that, as the spillage will just sit there and wait! 

Stunning Designs 

The very best timber, stone and slate images make up the large collection of finishes that hybrid flooring offers, so whatever your preference, hybrid has you covered. Ideal for the home with solid timber in the lounge, as the matching hybrid will work in the kitchen, bathroom and hall. If you would like to explore the many possibilities that hybrid flooring offers, there are online suppliers who can be found with a Google search. Probably the best thing about hybrid flooring is the affordability factor, which is the icing on the cake. 

Professional Installation 

Of course, hybrid flooring should be installed by professionals, and an established supplier would issue a long product warranty, for added peace of mind. From the initial meeting to the final inspection, the supplier would guide you to making the right choices, and your new flooring will give you decades of comfort and luxury. 

If your floors have seen better days, look into hybrid flooring and you’ll be very glad you did!
