How are Hybrid Floors different?
As mentioned earlier, hybrid floorboards are a combination of both vinyl and laminate flooring. They are made by moulding multiple layers of PVC and PUR together and adding a surface decorative layer that mimics the look of stone or hardwood floors, using high definition, printed imagery. While the PVC layer provides strength as well as water and impact resistance, the PUR layer adds stain and scuff resistance, making it super easy to clean. All of these contribute towards making hybrid laminate flooring among the most preferred floating floor options in the country.
CQ Flooring Brisbane, we also apply a 1.5mm high-density rubber acoustic underlay to all our hybrid planks, for better sound absorption, reduced echo and increased comfort. Hybrid therefore is an ideal choice for those desiring the timber flooring look, but with enhanced features.
Reasons to Consider Hybrid Floors
Hybrid flooring is among the most recent flooring innovations in Australia, as would be evident from the many customer reviews from Australia. But as experts in this industry, we are confident about the quality of hybrid flooring planks we sell. Given its waterproof nature and enhanced durability, it is also possible to have it installed throughout your interior, including in high spill areas such as bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and the living areas, for a beautiful and seamless look – the first rigid floating floor in Australia that makes this possible.
Hybrid floorboards are also easy to install. Being thinner than most other floating floorboards, it is easy to lay them over existing tiles, reducing the time and labour on installation. This is something you’d find in practically all hybrid flooring reviews that you might read!
As one of the first few companies to bring hybrid flooring to the Brisbane market in 2017, we have used it in one of our showrooms in Altona North, Melbourne, where we have laid more than 300 m2 of beautiful hybrid flooring. This is how confident we are about our product! After having used it for over two years, this is our very own hybrid flooring review in Australia:
- No dent or scratch. Not even one!

- No impact to the floor due to temperature fluctuations or humidity.
This has got to be among the largest testimonials for hybrid floors, and if you are considering this option, we invite you to connect with our experts over a call, to discuss your requirements.
