Hybrid and vinyl plank flooring are popular choices for modern homes due to their durability, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Hybrid flooring combines the best qualities of vinyl and laminate, featuring a multi-layer construction that includes a stone-based polymer core, an anti-bacterial protective coating, and a decorative layer that mimics natural timber. This design makes hybrid flooring highly durable, scratch-resistant, and 100% waterproof, ideal for areas prone to moisture like kitchens and entryways, though it is not recommended for bathrooms or laundries.
Vinyl plank flooring, including luxury vinyl planks and sheet vinyl, offers a 100% waterproof surface with a water-resistant system once installed, making it suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries. It features a PVC décor film that provides realistic wood or stone visuals with textured embossing for a natural feel. Vinyl planks are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping, without the need for waxing or polishing.
