Hybrid planks may be the new kid on the block, but they’re making themselves at home! Combining the best features of both luxury vinyl and laminate planks, this hybrid type of flooring has become much more mainstream than many predicted. Its core is made with limestone, so you know it’s bloody tough! Hybrid flooring can withstand heavy foot traffic and is waterproof to a certain degree. It works well in all parts of a home especially since hybrid planks also feature anti-stain and anti-slip properties which make it good for indoor or outdoor installations. Since hybrid flooring is engineered, there’s a wide range of colours and textures available to match your interiors.
Still not sure about this material? Check out some of the photos of homes we’ve built for our clients (mind the mess- some are still under construction!). And make sure you check out the FAQs at the bottom of the page.
The core of a hybrid plank is limestone (compared to luxury vinyl’s PVC) so they can click into place. Hybrid planks are also more durable since they are engineered to have a rigid core that’s perfect for moderate to heavy foot traffic.
No, skirting boards are not essential. However, Move Homes installs a scotia to help finish off the floor.
They look great and are available in a huge range of colours and widths, so you’ve got plenty of choices. Their limestone core makes them more stable to temperature variations, so they won’t click out of place.
Hybrid planks are actually stuck to your floor with glue. Don’t worry, we don’t mean Clag glue! We’re talking about heaving duty glue that makes it very hard for your planks to move or lift-off.
No. Because hybrid planks are made from limestone, they do not expand or contract like many laminate planks do.
All hybrid planks are waterproof to a certain degree since it’s mainly composed of plastic composites engineered together to create durable flooring. However, other hybrid planks are more resistant to moisture rather than full and constant exposure to water.
