Where Innovation Meets Elegance
Hybrid Flooring
What is Hybrid Flooring?
Hybrid flooring tiles are cutting-edge flooring products that feature multiple layers of different materials, typically including:
- A tough wear layer for surface protection
- A realistic decorative layer featuring wood or stone patterns
- A rigid core for stability and durability
- An integrated underlayment for comfort and sound-dampening
Advantages of Hybrid Flooring
- Waterproof Protection: 100% waterproof construction makes it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and moisture-prone areas.
- Superior Durability: Multi-layer design with rigid core resists scratches and dents, ideal for high-traffic areas and pets.
- Easy Maintenance: Click-lock installation and simple cleaning requirements make it practical for any homeowner.
- Temperature Resistant: Stable construction prevents expansion and contraction across varying temperatures.
- Sound Reduction: Integrated underlayment minimizes noise transfer between floors.
- Style Options: Available in realistic wood and stone looks that combine natural beauty with modern durability.

How does the cost of hybrid flooring compare to other flooring options available in Melbourne?
While the upfront cost of hybrid flooring may be slightly higher than some traditional options, it offers excellent value for money in the long run. Its durability means less frequent replacement, and its easy maintenance saves on cleaning and upkeep costs. When you factor in the longevity and low maintenance, hybrid flooring often works out to be a cost-effective choice for Melbourne homes and businesses.
How long does it take for the whole process?

Can hybrid flooring be installed over existing tiles in a Melbourne apartment?

Is hybrid flooring suitable for Melbourne homes with underfloor heating?
Yes, most of our hybrid flooring products are compatible with underfloor heating systems, which are becoming increasingly popular in Melbourne homes. However, it’s important to check the specific product specifications and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance with your heating system.
