In this post, I am going to compare the major differences of hybrid flooring and engineered timber flooring which is: Water Proofness, Premium Looking, Cost/ Price, Thickness, and Durability.
Being water-proof is the most important difference between hybrid flooring and engineered timber which makes hybrid flooring the first choice for wet areas as it is 100% waterproof.
Hybrid flooring is a more cost-effective option compared to engineered timber flooring. Normally the cost of installation of both is the same if the engineered timber flooring is also click system in opposed to tongue and groove. Most of the engineered timber floors in the market are tongue and groove which needs;PVA glue;during the installation process. This makes the installation process slower and dearer. Cost of labour installation of a tongue and groove engineered timber flooring is around $25-$30 per SQMs depends on the experience of the installer excluding the subfloor levelling and old floor removal.

Engineered timber flooring thickness varies from 12mm up to 21mm. Hybrid flooring, on the other hand, is much thinner normally 4mm-7mm. Thanks to new construction techniques as you do not need thick floor anymore as part of your house structure. All the new houses have a concrete slab that supports the whole subfloor and has made the flooring more a cosmetic element in the building. still, some traditional builders recommend their customers that thicker timber flooring is always a better option! In most of the renovation projects, there are restrictions due to the height of other building elements like existing floors, doors height, skirting boards height, etc. so making a right decision can really affect the cost of unseen issues during the installation even the look and safety of the completed floor!
Durability is the next major factor that makes the hybrid flooring better compared to engineered timber flooring. As engineered timber flooring is a 100% natural product but hybrid flooring is made by man.
Engineered Timber Flooring is not just superior compared to hybrid flooring in terms of being premium but any other flooring types like laminate and bamboo. Engineered timber flooring top layer is real wood which makes every piece unique like our fingerprint which you never can get this feature on any of man made products due to the repeat of the design.
