Hybrid Flooring FAQs
Common questions about choosing, installing and maintaining hybrid flooring in Melbourne.
What is hybrid flooring? +
Hybrid flooring is a rigid floating floor designed to combine a realistic timber appearance with durability, stability and easy maintenance. Construction varies between ranges, with many products using an SPC rigid core, decorative surface layer, protective wear layer and attached acoustic backing.
Is hybrid flooring waterproof? +
Many hybrid flooring products use waterproof or highly water-resistant rigid cores. However, installation requirements and warranties differ between manufacturers, so suitability for kitchens, laundries and other moisture-prone areas should always be confirmed for the specific product you choose.
Product details differ. For example, the ResiPlank Corsica 855 and Golden Field Green Earth pages describe those floors as waterproof, while Aqua Stone 8.5mm lists water-resistant rigid-core construction. Check the product page and ask our team before choosing a floor for a wet area.
How much does hybrid flooring cost in Melbourne? +
Hybrid flooring prices vary depending on the brand, plank size, thickness, wear layer, finish and construction. Installation cost can also vary depending on the existing floor and the amount of subfloor preparation required.

Does hybrid flooring need underlay? +
Many modern hybrid flooring ranges already include a pre-attached acoustic underlay. Additional underlay should only be used when permitted or required by the flooring manufacturer.
Can hybrid flooring be installed over concrete? +
Yes. Hybrid flooring is commonly installed over concrete slabs, provided the slab is clean, dry and sufficiently flat. Grinding or floor levelling may be required where the subfloor does not meet installation requirements.
Can hybrid flooring go over tiles? +
Often, yes, if the tiles are flat, stable and dry. Loose, cracked or hollow tiles should be repaired or removed first, and raised edges or uneven surfaces may need levelling. The extra floor height can also mean adjusting doors and transitions. Read more about hybrid flooring over tiles.
Is hybrid flooring good for pets? +
Hybrid flooring is a popular choice for homes with pets because it is durable and easy to clean. Scratch resistance varies between products, so households with large or active pets should compare wear-layer and surface specifications.
How is hybrid flooring installed? +
Hybrid flooring is normally installed as a floating floor. Individual boards connect using a click-lock system and are not glued directly to the subfloor. Expansion requirements and installation instructions vary between manufacturers.
Installation may also include removal of existing flooring, trims, scotia, door adjustments and other finishing work, depending on the property. Read our guide on how to lay hybrid flooring for more detail.
