Hybrid Flooring is a new and innovative option for your home that combines the waterproofness of vinyl with the rigidity and scratch-resistance of laminate. Using cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. At Joshua Tiles hybrid flooring comes in a wide range of designs and styles whilst still benign, affordable and durable.
They are made by different layers that are pressed together to make a hard-wearing floor:
- Top layer – This is a protective coating that gives hybrid floors impact, stain, scratch, and UV resistance.
- Print layer – The print layer uses advanced printing technology to bring you your desired design. Hybrid floors can very realistically imitate the look and feel of surfaces such as wood, tile, concrete, and marble.
- Core board – a composite that allows hybrid floors to feel solid and withstand rapid temperature changes. For hybrid floors, this layer usually comes in two main types – Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) is made of limestone, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and stabilizers, whilst Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is composed of recycled wood and PVC. WPC floors are generally thicker, more comfortable, but come at a higher cost.
- Acoustic underlay – the majority of hybrid floors also have this bottom layer pre-attached, which increases foot comfort, dampens sound, and eliminates the need for any additional underlayment.
Hybrid flooring is installed as a floating floor, which means that it can be installed over the floor that you already have. This is particularly useful if you want to install flooring temporarily for rental homes, or to change the feel of your home. Not only that but floating floors reduce the cost of preparation, installation and eliminate the use of any expensive adhesives.
At Joshua Tiles, there are a variety of ranges of hybrid flooring in different thicknesses that are suitable to both residential and commercial properties for an affordable discount price, and at Joshua Tiles we provide professional installation packages for all timber flooring along with the timber with a warranty according to the job specifications.
