What is Hybrid Flooring?

Hybrid flooring is an innovative new type of waterproof flooring, bringing the best characteristics of both vinyl and laminate floors to create an improved floating floor. Hybrid flooring consists of multiple layers of materials pressed together, and comes in a wide range of designs and styles. Hybrid floors are also 100% waterproof and suitable for all areas of the house including the kitchen, and other wet areas except the bathroom.

  • The top layer is a durable UV-coated wear & tear layer.
  • The second layer is a decorative print with the desired design, and a core layer that is a composite core board, which is both waterproof and stable.
  • Finally, there is an acoustic backing that increases foot comfort and reduces sound resonance.

Hybrid flooring is an affordable flooring option and has quickly emerged as one of the most popular floorboards across Sydney. Newer hybrid floors even offer resistance to direct sunlight, and impact resistance, and achieve commercial-grade scratch resistance for the full package.

SPC Hybrid Flooring – Stone & Plastic Composite hybrid floors are the most common out of the three. These offer standard durability and look gorgeous.

WPC Hybrid Flooring – Wood & Plastic Composite hybrid floors are a bit softer and less durable as they use an aerated core which has tiny air pockets.

SWC Hybrid Flooring – Stone Wood Composite hybrid floors are the newest on the block and offer a commercial grade surface, alongside resistance to sunlight fading.

The short answer is yes – hybrid floors are 100% waterproof, durable, stylish and affordable. It combines the best characteristics of other types of floors – namely, the waterproof nature of vinyl, the beauty of hardwood, and the durability of laminate flooring. It could be the perfect solution to your flooring needs since it offers a full range of benefits.

Benefits of hybrid flooring:

  • Hybrid flooring is 100% waterproof i.e. well suited for kitchens or laundrys.
  • Hybrid flooring is more affordable than solid or engineered timber flooring.
  • Hybrid flooring often comes with acoustic underlay, saving you the trouble and cost of purchasing them separately.

However, the drawback is that it’s not made from real timber. Learn more about whether hybrid flooring is any good. Overall, hybrid flooring is an excellent choice for Aussie homes where you experience four seasons in a day.

Hybrid flooring is one of the more affordable options despite having many superior properties over other flooring products e.g. waterproof, durable and easy to install. The general prices in Sydney, Australia as of 2023 are as shown below:

  • Supply of hybrid flooring: $35 – $70 per square metre
  • Installation of hybrid flooring: $30 – $40 per square metre (for straightforward jobs)
  • Subfloor Levelling: $40 – $80 per square metre depending on complexity.

With proper installation, hybrid flooring combines low maintenance and scratch resistant materials to provide excellent durability. Hybrid flooring offers the perfect solution for wet areas (except for bathrooms), and is a great complement to any existing floor such as laminate and vinyl flooring you might have in other areas of your home.

The difference between the three types of floors are the materials they are made from. Hybrid, vinyl and laminate are all floating floors, meaning they require no glue or nails for installation but instead rely on click-lock systems. They are all synthetically manufactured, but what exactly is the difference?

Hybrid Flooring is:

  • Made of stable composites that don’t absorb water.
  • 100% waterproof, of course!
  • Very durable
  • Affordable

Read our Ultimate Guide to Hybrid Flooring.

Laminate Flooring is:

  • Made of High Density Fibreboards (HDF) which is fused wood.
  • Often water resistant (Not waterproof)
  • The most scratch and dent resistant flooring
  • The most affordable flooring type

Read our Ultimate Guide to Laminate Flooring.

Vinyl Flooring:

  • More soft and springy than hybrid and laminate flooring
  • 100% waterproof
  • Can be fully sealed for laboratories, restaurants and medical centres
  • Vinyl plank flooring is made of PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC), a form of plastic.

Read our Hybrid vs Vinyl Plank Flooring Guide.

You can think of hybrid flooring as a newer generation of vinyl flooring that combines the best of laminate flooring with vinyl flooring.

Maintaining and cleaning hybrid flooring is actually much easier than most other flooring types. This can be attributed to its waterproof nature and high durability. Here are some pro tips to keeping your hybrid floors looking beautiful for years to come.

Maintaining hybrid flooring:

  • Use a doormat to keep dirt and grime outside where they belong
  • Keep pet’s nails trimmed to minimise wear and tear of life’s rough and tumble
  • Support furniture with soft padding for the legs. This allows you to freely rearrange your interior design without risking scratches on the floor.

Cleaning hybrid flooring:

  • Hybrid floors can be cleaned with a variety of tools including wet mops and vacuuming
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools like unpadded vacuum heads or hard scrubbers
  • Avoid using high-temperature steam mops as they can damage the hybrid floor structure

Proper maintenance protocol and monthly cleaning should keep your hybrid floors fresh as new for decades in residential settings. Commercial areas like restaurants may require more regular cleaning as necessary. We have an entire article on maintaining and cleaning flooring here.

In order to understand which flooring types are best for you, you should consider your needs. If water-resistant properties are a priority, and you are concerned about possible water damage, then installing hybrid flooring is the better option. If cost is a concern, again, a hybrid flooring range would be best for your home.

But if you like the warmth and natural colours of real hardwood, such as natural oak, then that could be the best option for you. Real timber will always have a more premium look, although it will cost significantly higher.
