Hybrid flooring is an innovative type of flooring that combines the durability and aesthetic appeal of wood with the resilience of vinyl. It’s designed to provide the look and feel of traditional hardwood flooring, but with enhanced strength and water resistance, making it ideal for homes in every environment, from living rooms to kitchens and bathrooms.

Top Layer (Decorative Layer): This layer gives the floor its realistic wood appearance, often mimicking the look of fine oak, pine, or other premium woods.

Core Layer (Stone Plastic Composite or Wood Plastic Composite): This core offers durability and water resistance, ensuring the floor is perfect for wet areas like kitchens or bathrooms.

Backing Layer: It provides comfort underfoot and contributes to the stability of the floor.

Thanks to the combination of vinyl and wood elements, hybrid floors have the flexibility to be laid as a floating floor, meaning no glue, nails, or staples are required. This makes installation quicker and more cost-effective.

1. Unrivalled Beauty and Authenticity

Hybrid flooring allows you to love the unrivalled beauty and character of traditional European oak, bringing a warm, timeless appeal to your home. Whether you choose a rustic oak finish or a sleek, modern design, hybrid flooring offers the versatility to complement any interior style. From the prestige oak flooring that shares the elegance of fine oak to a contemporary luxury vinyl look, the possibilities are endless.

2. Durability and Long-Lasting Performance

Unlike traditional wood flooring, hybrid flooring is more resistant to moisture, scratches, and stains. It's a natural choice for families with children and pets, as well as high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. The water-resistant nature ensures that spills and accidents won’t compromise the integrity of your floor.

Hybrid flooring is easy to clean and maintain, making it a low-maintenance solution for busy homeowners. Simply sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris, and use a damp mop for cleaning. Unlike hardwood floors, hybrid floors don’t require sealing or special treatments, saving you time and money.

The innovative acoustic layer in hybrid flooring, such as that found in the Coastal Blackbutt range, provides noise reduction benefits. The foam underlayment absorbs sound, making it ideal for apartments or homes with multiple stories. The result is a quieter, more peaceful living environment.

Hybrid flooring uses a mix of natural and synthetic materials, reducing the need for excessive timber harvesting. Many hybrid floors are also designed with environmentally friendly, non-toxic materials, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

One of the standout options in our collection is prestige oak flooring, which captures the timeless beauty of traditional oak while offering all the benefits of hybrid technology. Prestige oak flooring ensures stunning extra-wide planks that bring a sense of luxury to any space. Known for its durability, fine grain, and rich colour tones, prestige oak is perfect for those who appreciate elegance and strength in their flooring.

The cost of prestige oak flooring is competitive, and with its long-lasting nature, it proves to be an investment that enhances the value of your home. When you choose prestige wood flooring, you're opting for a high-end look without the hefty price tag that often comes with solid hardwood floors.
