You love the look and feel of timber flooring in your home, but it can only work in ‘dry’ rooms, so I guess you’re stuck with tiles for that bathroom upgrade, right? Wrong! Read on for information about some high-performance timber and timber look products perfect for a host of wet area flooring.
Hybrid
The advanced technology of Hybrid makes it a no brainer for wet areas. Combining the look and feel of natural timber with all the best performance attributes of laminate and vinyl planks, versatile Hybrid is not only incredible durable and impact resistant, but also 100% waterproof.
Quick and easy to install, with a click in locking system that can be walked on the same day, Hybrid planks can be confidently laid in conspicuously wet areas such as laundries and bathrooms, as well as living rooms, hallways, dining spaces and kitchens.
Hybrid planks are available in a selection of natural designer decors. Wet mop for easy care cleaning, they’ll work incredibly well across the entire home or commercial area and are the perfect flooring choice for busy families and pet owners.
Vinyl
Vinyl planks take the look, feel and design of natural hardwood and add a few extra touches. Providing an abrasion resistant layer that protects against everyday wear, stains and fading, and embossed to recreate the look of timber, they provide a slip resistant underfoot finish great for children’s play zones and pet areas.
Waterproof and able to be wet mopped, Vinyl can be confidently installed in designated wet areas such as laundries and bathrooms, working equally well in living rooms, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms.
Vinyl flooring comes in variety of wood look decors, is simple to install and easy to replace a section should damage occur. A functional and affordable flooring choice for your home or investment property.
Timber
While solid timber flooring is not a viable option for wet areas, engineered timber products can be considered for dining rooms, kitchens and laundries.
Water resistant rather than waterproof, properly installed engineered timber can hold up relatively well in higher humidity areas, due to their durable surface layer.
Engineered timber boards, with their distinctive knots and grain variations, offer all the aesthetic benefits of solid wood, with a heavy-duty surface protection designed to counter against excessive wear, spills and dirt.
To ensure against long term damage, all spills need to be wiped up and dried off as soon as they occur.
