1. Waterproof

One of hybrid flooring’s top advantages is its waterproof nature. In fact, you could immerse a plank of hybrid flooring in water for a week or more without the risk of it swelling. With a quick wipe down, it would be unaffected!

This feature makes it particularly well suited for rooms subjected to high levels of moisture or high chances of spills such as laundries, bathrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, and entryways. It is also excellent for commercial applications or areas of your home that experience high traffic.

2. DIY-Friendly Installation

With its user-friendly tongue and groove technology, hybrid flooring is suitable for DIY installation and requires minimal equipment.

3. Durability

Do you have kids or require pet friendly flooring? Then you know exactly how important durable flooring is. With its rigid core technology, hybrid floors are manufactured to be resistant to UV light, stains, dents, and scratches, making them an ideal option for busy households or businesses.

4. Well-Suited for the Weather Extremes of Australia

Hybrid flooring’s multi-layered construction makes it well suited to Australia’s harsh sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Whereas some flooring types are at risk of shrinking or expanding under these settings, hybrid flooring is designed to maintain its integrity despite these conditions.

5. Sound

While some floors generate a hollow sound when walked on, hybrid flooring’s rigid core technology helps produce a solid step with less sound. Adding an acoustic underlayment makes steps even lighter.

6. Aesthetic Appeal

Using special technology to mimic the edges, variations, and textures found in solid timber, hybrid flooring delivers a stunning appearance similar to traditional hardwood.

7. Eco-Friendly Composition

With a core consisting of limestone, virgin PVC, bamboo dust, and recycled wood, hybrid flooring is considered to be one of the best flooring choices in terms of how eco-friendly it is.

8. Easy Care and Cleaning

No need for special cleaning products, waxes, polishes, or equipment – a damp mop is about as fancy as you need to get in order to maintain sparkling, beautiful floors. Paired with regular sweeping and vacuuming and spot-cleaning as necessary, hybrid flooring can stay beautiful for years and years to come.

9. Comfort

Its thick rigid core construction provides a dense, comfortable walking surface. Choosing a floor with an attached underlayment or adding an underlayment will offer further cushioning.
