Frequently Asked Questions

What is hybrid flooring?

Hybrid flooring or engineered vinyl plank (EVP) is a flooring that integrates the endurance of vinyl with the robustness and realistic appearance of laminate flooring. EVP consists of several layers, including the following:

Waterproof core: This layer consists of a high-density fibreboard (HDF) or stone-plastic composite (SPC), a moisture-resistant material and perfect for spill-prone and humid living spaces.
Printed vinyl design: This layer gives hybrid flooring Sydney its realistic appearance and a unique aesthetic touch. Homeowners can choose from various wood-look designs.
Protective top layer: This layer is usually composed of clear urethane, which offers added resilience and scratch resistance. It shields the two other layers from wear and tear, ensuring the longevity of your hybrid floors.

Industry experts consider hybrid floors Sydney a multifaceted, practical, low-maintenance, sturdy, and easy-to-install flooring alternative. Nowadays, you can see hybrid flooring in various residential, commercial, and industrial spaces—a testament to its versatility. Clients usually prefer laying hybrid flooring in high-traffic areas, including bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways, bearing in mind straightforward and manageable installation.

How do I lay hybrid flooring?

You can lay hybrid flooring by taking the following steps:

Note: Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for accurate installation instructions for your hybrid floor.

How to clean hybrid flooring

Please follow these steps when cleaning hybrid flooring Sydney:

Sweep or vacuum frequently: We recommend frequent sweeping and vacuuming of your hybrid floors to prevent scratches caused by dirt and grit. For best results, use a soft-bristle broom or vacuum with a hard floor attachment.
Clean up spills promptly: Accidents cannot be avoided entirely. It’s critical to wipe up spills instantly to prevent hybrid floor damage. We recommend using a damp cloth or mop for this task.
Use a pH-neutral cleaner: This type of cleaner is perfect for hybrid flooring. Dilute the cleaner and mop the floor according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Avoid using potent substances:Caustic chemicals, including bleach and ammonia, can damage the hybrid floors’ surface.
Clean the floor using a microfiber mop:This cleaning strategy will prevent scratches and streaks and leave your hybrid floors spotless and pristine.
Rinse thoroughly:Rinse the hybrid flooring Sydney with clean water to eliminate residue.
Dry the floor: Dry the floor using a clean, dry mop or towel for best results.
Use precise amounts of water: We strongly recommend using an accurate amount when cleaning your hybrid floors. Excess water can permeate the seams and damage the floors.
Use furniture pads: Place pads under large furniture’s legs to prevent scratches and indentations from developing.

What materials make up hybrid flooring?

Hybrid flooring Sydney integrates the characteristics of vinyl and laminate flooring. Its several layers contribute to its durability and resilience, adding an aesthetic touch to your living space for many years.

Hybrid flooring consists of several layers:

Wear layer: This flooring’s topmost layer helps prevent wear and tear, scratches, and stains. Its robust PVC material contributes to its overall durability.
Decorative layer: Manufacturers print this layer with a high-resolution image that resembles natural materials, including wood, stone, or tile. The wear layer protects the image.
Rigid core layer: This layer consists of a waterproof high-density fibreboard (HDF) or stone-plastic composite (SPC) that stabilises and strengthens the hybrid flooring Sydney.
Underlayment layer: This optional layer offers additional sound absorption and cushioning.

Manufacturers apply heat and pressure to attach the layers of hybrid timber flooring Sydney and create a single flooring. This technique ensures that the layers are tightly fused and remain secure for many years.

How can I safely cut SPC hybrid flooring Sydney?

Before cutting SPC hybrid flooring, always wear safety gear, including goggles, earplugs or earmuffs, and an Australian-standard dust mask. Following appropriate safety measures will protect you from dust or debris when cutting hybrid flooring.

Please follow these steps when cutting SPC hybrid flooring:

AS/NZS 1337 eye and face protection: This Australian standard recommends using goggles, face shields, or visors to protect the eyes and face.
AS/NZS 1716 respiratory protective devices: This Australian standard requires individuals cutting hybrid flooring to use filters or respirators to protect their respiratory systems.
Use appropriate tools: You can cut SPZC hybrid flooring using several tools. However, we recommend using the hybrid floor guillotine. At Ezy Decking, we offer customers access to these tools at little or no cost. If you don’t have a hybrid floor guillotine, you can use a circular saw, jigsaw, or hand saw. Use a sharp saw that’s suitable for the SPC’s thickness. Always wear government-approved personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting SPC hybrid flooring.
Measure and label the SPC: We recommend using a measuring tape to estimate the cut’s length. Next, use a straight edge or square to draw a straight line on the precise cutting spot.
Secure the SPC: Clamps or a vise latched onto a workbench or sawhorse will secure the SPC hybrid flooring and ensure seamless cutting.
Cut slowly and meticulously: Carefully guide the saw along the marked line. Refrain from haphazard and rushed sawing to preserve the SPC hybrid flooring’s material.

Is hybrid flooring Sydney toxic?

Industry experts consider hybrid flooring safe and non-toxic. The floor’s various components include:

A wear layer
A decorative layer
A rigid core layer
An optional underlayment layer.

These layers are made up of non-toxic materials without any harmful fumes or chemicals. Please remember that adhesives and sealants may contain volatile organic compounds (VOC), which can be harmful if inhaled in large quantities.

We recommend using low-VOC or zero-VOC adhesives and sealants to ensure safe installation, set up proper room ventilation, and preserve the installer’s health.

Is hybrid flooring waterproof?

Yes, hybrid flooring is typically waterproof and water-resistant. Its rigid core layer features waterproof material, such as high-density fibreboard (HDF) or stone-plastic composite (SPC). The layer’s subcomponents help prevent water from seeping into the core layer and significantly damaging the flooring.

The versatile core layer is ideal for protecting hybrid flooring from moisture and water damage. It also stabilises and strengthens the hybrid floor.

Hybrid flooring’s durability and robustness make it ideal for moisture-prone areas, including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. However, although it is water resistant, it isn’t 100% waterproof.

Too much water can permeate the seams and damage the floors over time. Hence, it is critical to use a precise amount of water when sanitising and to wipe spills immediately. These safety measures will help prevent significant damage to the hybrid flooring Sydney.

Can you lay hybrid flooring over tiles?

Yes, hybrid flooring, also known as rigid core flooring, can be installed over tiles. However, but there are several important factors to keep in mind for a smooth and successful installation:

Condition of the Tiles: Ensure the tiles are in good shape. If any tiles have cracks, chips, or other damage, be sure to repair or replace them before laying the new flooring.
Levelness of the Surface: Hybrid flooring requires a flat surface for proper installation. If the tiled floor is uneven, you’ll need to create a smooth foundation by applying a self-levelling compound.
Height Consideration: Adding hybrid flooring over existing tiles will raise the floor height. You must check if there’s enough clearance for doors, skirting boards, and other fixtures.
Tile Type: Certain tiles may not provide enough adhesion. Examples are tiles with a polished or glazed surface. In this case, you can use a primer or levelling compound to help improve the bond between the tiles and the hybrid flooring.
Installation Method: You can choose between floating or glue-down installation methods, depending on the condition of the tiles and your desired finish. Each method has its advantages, so be sure to consult a professional for advice.

Before proceeding, it’s best to consult with a flooring expert or follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the installation goes smoothly.

Can you use a steam mop on hybrid flooring?

Although hybrid flooring is generally water-resistant, using a steam mop is not recommended. The steam’s high heat, pressure, and moisture can damage the top protective layer, which leads to warping or peeling over time.

For cleaning and maintenance, the best practices are as follows, but it’s always best to follow the cleaning instructions from the flooring manufacturer to ensure longevity.

Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using vacuum attachments with rotating bristles that could scratch the surface.
Mopping: Use a damp mop and a mild cleaner designed for hybrid flooring. Avoid soaking the floor with too much water. Make sure the mop is well-wrung, and if any spills occur, clean them promptly with a soft cloth or sponge to avoid long-term damage.
Spills: Clean up spills immediately with a soft cloth to prevent any potential staining or damage.
Furniture Protection: Use felt pads or other furniture protectors under tables, chairs, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: For best results, use a cleaner specifically designed for hybrid flooring. Stick to non-abrasive cleaning products, as harsh chemicals can wear down the flooring’s wear layer.

Following these steps will help prolong the life of your hybrid flooring and keep it looking fresh.

Does hybrid flooring expand and contract?

Like most flooring materials, hybrid flooring can expand and contract when there are constant changes in temperature and humidity. However, it is much more stable than other materials like hardwood or laminate because of its stone-plastic composite (SPC) core.

Even with this stability, it’s important to allow the flooring to acclimate to the room before installation. Let it sit in the room for at least 48 hours so it can adjust to the environment’s temperature and humidity.

During installation, leave expansion gaps of around 5mm around the room’s perimeter for areas up to 30m² and 8mm for larger spaces (30-60m²). This will give the flooring enough room to naturally expand and contract without causing gaps or buckling.

Maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level in the room can further minimise any movement. Using tools like dehumidifiers or humidifiers where necessary can help keep the environment stable.

How thick is hybrid flooring?

Hybrid flooring is generally thinner than timber or hardwood flooring but thicker than vinyl or laminate flooring. Its thickness depends on the brand and product type, but it typically ranges from 5mm to 9mm. It consists of several layers, and every layer contributes to its overall look and durability. Below is their thickness range and purpose:

Wear Layer: Designed to resist stains and scratches, the top layer typically ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5mm thick.
Design Layer: The design layer is the thinnest and is added mainly for design purposes. This layer is what gives your hybrid flooring wood, stone, or other textures.
Core Layer: Ranging from 3mm to 7mm thick, this is the thickest layer that is responsible for providing stability and preventing damage from moisture. It is made from rigid materials such as SPC.
Underlay: Some hybrid flooring comes with an attached underlay for added cushioning and sound insulation.

Although thinner than traditional hardwood, hybrid flooring offers excellent durability, making it a great choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Is hybrid flooring better than laminate?

Both hybrid and laminate flooring are popular, durable, and versatile options, but which one is better depends on your needs and preferences:

Durability: While laminate flooring can be considered durable, hybrid flooring typically outperforms it in terms of overall durability, particularly water resistance. Combining the best features of laminate and other types of flooring, hybrid flooring is highly resistant to scratches and moisture, making it a better option for wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms as well as other areas of homes with pets.
Installation: Both hybrid and laminate flooring are easy to install. However, hybrid flooring is more stable in environments with fluctuating humidity levels.
Appearance: Both laminate and hybrid flooring can mimic the look of wood or stone. While hybrid flooring has a thin design layer, laminate flooring has a photographic layer on top of its high-density fiberboard (HDF) core.
Cost: Laminate is often more affordable than hybrid flooring. However, hybrid flooring’s superior water resistance and durability usually justify the higher price.
Comfort: Hybrid flooring tends to be quieter and softer underfoot due to its multi-layered construction. It provides more comfort than laminate flooring, especially in areas where you spend a lot of time standing. Ultimately, hybrid flooring is generally considered a more premium product when it comes to its versatility, durability, and water resistance, but laminate remains a popular, budget-friendly option.
