Hybrid flooring
Why Choose Hybrid Flooring
Hybrid flooring combines the durability and strength of laminate and the soft and appealing look of luxury vinyl planks. It is a fantastic floating floor which is perfect for Australian homes and because it is 100% waterproof, you can have this amazing flooring installed in any room you choose.
At Decohouse, our range of hybrid flooring allows easy handling and installation making hybrid flooring a great alternative to glue down LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles), vinyl click lock, or timber laminate flooring. The patented construction features an innovative core structure, which is an extruded core made from limestone and virgin PVC. Since hybrid flooring is 100% waterproof, it can be installed in wet areas and will never swell when exposed to water. It is inert and dimensionally stable; it will not expand or contract under normal conditions. Further, each hybrid flooring plank has an attached 2mm foam underlayment for a quieter, warmer floor that is naturally resistant to odour causing mould and mildew.
Installation
Installation
Please note: This is only a guide and we always recommend that you use professional installers for our products as incorrect installation or preparation of the subfloor would void warranty. Installation should be in accordance with Australian Standards – AS 1884 – 2012 Floor Coverings – Resilient Sheet and Tiles – Installation Practices.
PRIOR TO LAYING
- Prior to installation the flooring should be removed out of the boxes and stacked in piles not greater than 5 boxes high 24 hours before installation and acclimatised within a set temperature between 18°c and 28°c. (Do not attempt to install this flooring outside of the recommended temperature unless you are a skilled installer, as correct measures need to be taken to prevent issues arising in the floor such as buckling.)
SUB FLOOR PREPARATION
- Engineered Click Lock Flooring can float over existing hard level surfaces such as timber, concrete, existing vinyl and even ceramic tiles. (It is important to note that all substrates need to be level before laying the Engineered Click Lock flooring otherwise you can encounter imperfections in the floor that maybe present during and after the installation.)
- Any uneven surfaces will need to be levelled with leveling compounds or other material suitable for the application, please talk to a professional for the best advice for your subfloor.
INSTALLATION TOOLS
- Stanley Knife
- Straight Edge
- Tape Measure
- Marking Pencil
- Hammer and tapping block
- Chalk Line
- Pull Bar (Optional but Advantageous)
- Table Saw, Jig Saw & Mitre Saw (Optional)
- Safety Glasses
- Dust Mask
- Safety Gloves
STEP 1: FLOATING INSTALLATION
- Start installing parallel to the longest straightest wall, normally an exterior wall. Install the flooring pieces left to right. The groove side of the plank should be facing away from the starting wall.
- Using spacers, leave a minimum gap of 5mm – 10mm for expansion between the flooring and walls (The space you leave will depend on the distance of the length and width of the floor. You may need to leave more gap depending on the overall span as well as using expansion joints for long distances.)
STEP 2: LAYING THE FIRST ROW
- After laying the first plank, lay the second plank in position and tap it toward the first plank to lock the ends of the boards together. Be sure to use a tapping block so you don’t damage the boards with the hammer. Continue laying the boards this way until you reach the other wall.
STEP 3: LAYING THE SECOND ROW
- To start the second row, install the first plank, ensure the plank is at least 20cm longer or shorter than the first board in the previous row. There should be a minimum of 20cm stagger between any one joint and the nearest joints in adjacent rows. Planks used to start or end a row should be at least 20cm long.
- Next, install the second plank in the second row by inserting the tongue side into the groove first, then pressing the board down, locking it into the previous row. Then tap the board on its end with a tapping block and hammer to lock it into the previous board.
STEP 4: CONTINUE INSTALLING
- Continue installing rows, working left to right and adding additional planks in each row while maintaining a minimum 20cm stagger between adjacent row joints.
STEP 5: CUTTING END OF ROW BOARDS
- The last board in each row should be cut to fit while still maintaining a 5mm – 10mm expansion gap at the wall. Here’s how:
- Flip the board over (placing the groove to your left.)
- Measure the board by the gap in the row.
- Mark and cut the board using a Stanley knife or saw.
- Then flip the board back over and it will be ready to be tapped into place.
- You may use the remaining piece to start the next row assuming it is a minimum of 20cm long.
STEP 6: INSTALLING AROUND OBJECTS
- Use a hole saw drill bit to make perfect cuts for pipes.
- Use a jamb saw to cut the door frame for a cleaner finish.
- Use a jig saw or Stanley knife for cutting pieces around irregular shapes.
AFTER INSTALLATION / FLOOR CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Sweep up all rubbish and debris that are on the floor using a soft bristle broom.
- Any spare material left over should be stored away for future replacement if required.
- Install trims or existing skirting to cover the expansion gaps and transition strips where required.
- When moving furniture back on the flooring make sure to properly protect the flooring.
- Use felt protectors on furniture legs.
- Avoid rubber and petroleum-based products such as tires, casters, floor mats or asphalt sealers as these may contain chemicals that can permanently stain flooring.
Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
Hybrid floorings are ideal for all areas in the home and most commercial environments.
Our collection ensures optimum style and premium quality that will provide many years of valuable performance.
In addition our products are designed for low maintenance, they are treated with a coating on the surface that helps to defend against scuffing and scratching, it also means the floor does not need to be sealed after installation
We have done the hard work in the beginning to provide you a product that requires low maintenance but like everything it will still require some love and tender care.
Below are important but basic instructions on how to keep your floor looking new for years to come:
Cleaning After Installation:
- Gently remove all loose debris from the floor using a vacuum or a soft bristled broom/brush.
- If any adhesive is used and is visible on the surface remove immediately.
- Damp mop the floor with warm water or a pH neutral detergent.
Regular Maintenance:
- Vacuum, sweep or damp mop your floor to remove all dust and loose debris.
- When mopping just use warm water however if a deeper clean is necessary for stubborn dirt and marks you can use soapy warm water or a pH neutral detergent.
- Ensure all spills are quickly cleaned up, this will prevent stains.
- Ensure all furniture is fitted with felt pads on the base or feet of the object and never drag furniture across the floor; this will help prevent scratching and scuffing.
- Keep your floor away from direct sunlight by closing your shades or blinds to prevent discolouration from the sun as warranty does not cover discoloration.
