Hybrid - A Flooring Innovation
Despite being a relative newcomer to the market, Hybrid flooring’s rapid rise in popularity is no great surprise.
The latest in flooring innovation, hybrid floors combine the best qualities of laminate and vinyl into one high-performance product. The result? A waterproof, hard-wearing surface that’s equally at home in busy family spaces and high-traffic commercial areas.
Loved by designers, builders, and savvy renovators, hybrid flooring delivers underfoot comfort, effortless installation, and an authentic timber aesthetic, available in a stunning range of Australian hardwood and European Oak-inspired designs.
What is Hybrid Flooring Made From?
As the name suggests, hybrid flooring is crafted from a blend of materials, typically plastic, limestone, and wood flour, compressed into multiple layers to create a next-generation timber-look plank.
Each board includes:
- Protective Surface Coating – Resists scratches, dents, and wear.
- High-Definition Timber Décor – Realistic wood-look prints with natural grain detail.
- Vinyl Wear Layer – Adds extra durability and water resistance.
- Rigid or Semi-Rigid Composite Core – The strength at the heart of the plank.
- Pre-Attached Underlay – Designed for quick, floating installation and extra acoustic comfort.
What’s At The Core?
Embelton offer three ranges of Hybrid flooring core structures - 5.5mm and 6.5mm Atlantis Stone Polymer Core (SPC), 7mm Atlantis Wideboard+ SPC ABA and 8mm Aqua-tuf Wood Plastic Composite (WPC).
-
Atlantis SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) – 5.5mm & 6.5mm
Crafted from limestone, PVC, and stabilisers, this high-density rigid core delivers exceptional dimensional stability, resisting dents, marks, and temperature fluctuations. -
Atlantis Wideboard+ (SPC/ABA) – 7mm
Strategically positioned between two layers of premium PVC vinyl, this ABA construction enhances underfoot softness while delivering exceptional dimensional stability, dent resistance, and long-lasting durability, making it our most advanced and stable hybrid board to date.
-
Aqua-Tuf WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) – 8mm
A lighter, semi-rigid aerated core made from limestone and PVC wood dust. It offers superior acoustics and a softer underfoot feel, perfect for comfort-focused spaces.
In good news for the environment, left over scraps of material from both products are recycled for use in further batches, ensuring zero wastage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the process.
Affordable, easy to clean, highly durable, and completely waterproof, hybrid flooring is perfect for households with kids, pets, and busy lifestyles.
Available in a wide selection of timber-look décors, hybrid planks can be installed in classic staggered layouts, bold diagonal patterns, or even herringbone designs. With integrated foam backing and a drop-lock or click joint system, installation is fast and mess-free, ideal for DIY enthusiasts.
