Love the warmth and style of timber flooring but think it’s only for “dry” rooms? Think again. Today’s high-performance flooring options mean you can enjoy timber or timber-look designs in spaces that were once off-limits, including kitchens, laundries, and even bathrooms.
Hybrid flooring is the ultimate all-rounder for wet areas. It blends the authentic look and feel of timber with the best qualities of laminate and vinyl. Incredibly durable, impact resistant, and 100% waterproof, it’s ideal for areas exposed to moisture.
Installation is quick and straightforward, thanks to a click-lock system that allows you to walk on your floors the same day. Hybrid works beautifully in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens, as well as throughout the rest of the home.
Available in a range of natural wood-look designs, hybrid floors are easy to maintain with a simple wet mop and stand up to the demands of busy families and pet-friendly households.
Vinyl planks offer the appearance of natural hardwood with added practicality. Featuring an abrasion-resistant surface to protect against daily wear, stains, and fading, and embossed textures that mimic real timber, vinyl provides a slip-resistant surface, ideal for play areas and pet zones.
Fully waterproof and suitable for wet mopping, vinyl flooring can be confidently installed in laundries, bathrooms, and kitchens, while also enhancing living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms.
With a wide choice of wood-look designs, vinyl is simple to install and easy to replace in sections if needed, making it a cost-effective option for both family homes and investment properties.
Solid timber flooring isn’t suitable for wet areas, but engineered timber can be used in spaces like dining rooms, kitchens, and laundries. While it’s water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, its multi-layer construction and tough surface coating offer better stability in humid conditions compared to solid timber.
Engineered timber showcases the natural knots, grains, and variation that make timber so appealing, while the protective finish helps resist wear, spills, and dirt. To protect your floors for the long term, any spills should be wiped up and dried immediately.
