The innovative hybrid design consists of a top layer of wood-printed hardwood or tiles. On the other hand, limestone composite is non porous, which in other words is a "waterproof core."
Given that laminate flooring is a part of hybrid floors, it can be hard to know the difference. By understanding the various flooring types, this can streamline the decision-making process for you.

Looking for the perfect flooring for damp areas like bathrooms? Unlike laminate flooring, hybrid solutions have a water resistant advantage. The composite core within this contains a moisture absorption quality. This prevents the flooring from warping from water damage.
While both floor types are easy to install, the hybrid contains a key built-in component. In many cases, the installation process involves the application of an underlay. However, many hybrid variations have a built-in underlay, helping to streamline the installation.
Hybrid flooring contains an acoustic underlay, effectively reducing noise. This makes it ideal for those focused on noise reduction, especially in multi-level living. On the other hand, laminate flooring doesn't contain any acoustic properties. Since hybrid flooring is less likely to produce sound than laminate, it provides a quieter alternative.
When it comes to our hybrid installation service, we pride ourselves on a thorough process. Rest assured, from the beginning to end, we work closely to deliver a solution that aligns with your floor vision.
Before every installation, our team will take the time to assess your property. We'll bring over samples to help you envision its potential in your space. We'll then issue a fixed quote containing no hidden fees.
During this stage we ensure that the flooring is structurally sound. The subfloor provides the right foundation for the hybrid installation process. As this process involves connecting the planks and joists to guarantee floor stability.
Given that the hybrid flooring has a click-lock system, this removes the need for glue, nails or other materials. As implied by its name, the planks simply "lock together," interconnecting to create a stable surface. This is followed by finishing steps like transition strips, bridging any gaps between the wall and floor for a uniform look.
Once complete, our team won't leave without completing a thorough inspection. We'll also take the time to clean any waste built-up during the process.

For more compact environments, light colours such as white can create a more spacious feel. On the other hand, dark flooring colours can foster a warmer and earthier feel. Rest assured, our team will help you choose the right colour during our consultation stage.
Yes, hybrid flooring is made to withstand the heavy weight of furniture such as fridges. Its make-up of premium materials helps maintain durability with on-going use. However, by taking some steps, you can minimise a fridge's impact on hybrid floors.
When installing the fridge, it's important to level this to ensure even weight distribution. Also, consider applying durable felt pads to minimise surface impact.
Consider professional floor polishing every 3-5 years for upkeep. Alongside at-home floor maintenance such as not dragging the fridge across the surface.
