What is Hybrid Flooring Made Of?
As the name suggests, hybrid flooring is made from a unique combination of materials, including plastic, PVC, and limestone. These materials are tightly compressed into multiple layers, forming a robust, timber-look plank that's built to last.
The composition of hybrid flooring includes several layers: a tough protective surface coating, a realistic wood-look décor layer, a durable vinyl wear layer, a rigid or semi-rigid composite substrate, and a pre-attached underlay designed specifically for floating installation.
This multi-layered construction provides exceptional stability, durability, and waterproof properties, making it a top choice for both wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms and high-traffic zones throughout the home.
What’s At The Core?
Embelton Flooring offers various hybrid flooring options with different core structures:
Atlantis SPC (Stone Polymer Core): Available in 5.5mm, 6.5mm, and 7mm, this core is made from limestone, PVC, and stabilisers. Its high-density structure offers excellent resistance to dents and marks.
Aqua-Tuf WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): This 8mm core combines limestone and PVC wood dust, producing a lighter, semi-rigid plank with a softer feel underfoot and superior acoustic performance.
For those looking for the latest in hybrid flooring innovation, the Atlantis 7mm range features an ABA core structure, which enhances the plank’s performance and stability. Click here to find out more.
In good news for the environment, leftover scraps from both SPC and WPC products are recycled and used in future batches, ensuring zero waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
