Board sizes, specifications and warranty documents are on each range's page.
A hybrid board has a rigid core with a printed timber or stone design on top, protected by a clear wear layer, and usually an acoustic backing underneath. The boards click together and float over the subfloor, with no glue or nails. Six of our seven ranges have a waterproof core, so the boards will not swell from everyday spills the way laminate can; Royal Hybrid Herringbone is described by its maker as water resistant.
Our hybrid ranges run from 6.5mm to 10mm thick. Thicker boards feel more solid underfoot, while thinner boards make it easier to meet door heights and the edges of other floors. The wear layer is the clear protective top coat: 0.5mm on Royal 6.5mm Premium, 0.55mm on Korlok and 0.7mm on Royal Hybrid Pro 9mm and Royal Hybrid Herringbone. Royal 10MM Extreme is rated AC5 for wear. The right choice depends on your rooms and subfloor, and we go through it at the measure.
A waterproof core makes hybrid a practical choice where the living area runs into the kitchen; for these areas choose one of our waterproof-core ranges. Wipe up spills and standing water promptly, and check the range's installation guidelines before laying it in a bathroom or laundry. A floating floor is not a substitute for waterproofing in wet areas such as showers. See our guide to the best flooring for kitchens.
Most hybrid floors have an acoustic backing, and Royal 6.5mm Premium is rated 6 star acoustic. Many buildings set acoustic requirements for hard floors, so check your strata by-laws before you choose. Our guide to the best flooring for apartments covers what to ask.
Hybrid surfaces are made to resist scratches and stains, which suits homes with children and pets, but no floor is scratch-proof. Use felt pads under furniture and mats at the doors. Read more about the best flooring for pets.
Hybrid sits between laminate and vinyl: it has a rigid core like laminate and a waterproof core like vinyl. Compare them in our guides to hybrid vs laminate and vinyl vs hybrid, or browse our laminate, vinyl and timber flooring.
Hybrid is floated over the subfloor with expansion gaps at the walls, so the subfloor must be flat, clean and sound. Hybrid can often go over existing tiles if they are flat and firmly fixed; we check grout lines and any uneven tiles at the measure. Our installation is covered by a 2 year installation warranty, and each range carries its own manufacturer's product warranty.
Try any of these floors in a photo of your own room with our Room Visualiser, or see the samples in person at a showroom: hybrid flooring in Penrith, Hornsby, Campbelltown and Logan. Or book a free in-home measure and we will bring the samples to you.
A few questions to work through before you choose, so the floor suits the room as well as your taste.
Hybrid floats over concrete, timber boards, and often over existing tiles. The subfloor needs to be flat, clean and sound, so it is checked at the measure.
Our ranges run from 6.5mm to 10mm. Think about door heights and where the new floor meets other floors, as well as how solid you want it to feel underfoot.
The clear top layer protects the design. Compare the wear layer or wear rating listed for each range.
Most of our ranges have a waterproof core (Royal Hybrid Herringbone is water resistant), but read the installation guidelines for the range before using it in a bathroom or laundry, and wipe up standing water promptly.
In apartments, check your strata by-laws for acoustic requirements before choosing a hard floor.
Choose between oak, Australian timber looks, herringbone and stone or marble tiles. Look at samples in your own light, as colour can change between a showroom and your home.
Strong, direct sun through large windows can heat any floating floor. Blinds or shutters help protect the floor and the room.
Check both the product warranty for the range you choose and the installation warranty. Our installation is covered by a 2 year installation warranty.

Hybrid is a popular apartment choice because most ranges have an acoustic backing, and Royal 6.5mm Premium is rated 6 star acoustic. Check your strata by-laws first, as many buildings set acoustic requirements for hard floors.
Hybrid surfaces are made to resist scratches and stains, which suits busy homes, but no floor is scratch-proof. Felt pads under furniture, mats at doors and trimmed pet nails help it last.
Both have a rigid board and a printed design, but hybrid has a waterproof core while laminate's core is fibreboard, which can swell if it stays wet. Read our hybrid vs laminate guide for the full comparison.
Each range has its own manufacturer's product warranty, shown on its product page; for example, Royal 6.5mm Premium and Royal 10MM Extreme carry a 25 year limited residential warranty. Our installation is covered by a 2 year installation warranty, subject to terms.
