FAQs
What is the best flooring for a home renovation?
The best flooring for a home renovation depends on how you live, where the flooring is being installed, and what you need it to handle.
For busy family homes, hybrid flooring can be a strong option because it is practical, modern, and easy to maintain. For high traffic areas, glue-down vinyl plank performs very well and offers excellent stability. For a forever home where warmth and natural character matter, engineered timber can be a beautiful long-term choice.
The right flooring should suit your lifestyle, climate, subfloor, and budget.
Is hybrid flooring really waterproof?
Hybrid flooring is often described as waterproof, but that needs to be understood properly.
Many hybrid boards have waterproof cores, which means the board itself is resistant to swelling from water exposure. However, that does not stop moisture from travelling underneath the floor if the subfloor preparation or installation is not right.
Waterproof does not mean preparation can be ignored. Moisture, uneven subfloors, and poor installation can still cause problems over time.
Can I use hybrid or laminate flooring in a bathroom?
In most cases, we do not recommend hybrid or laminate flooring for bathrooms.
Bathrooms require proper waterproofing systems and materials designed for full moisture exposure. Kitchens, laundries, living areas, and hallways are different, but bathrooms are wet rooms and need to be treated with more caution.
This is why tiles remain one of the most common flooring choices for bathrooms.
Does climate affect flooring in Australia?
Yes, climate can make a significant difference to how flooring performs.
Australia has strong UV exposure, which can affect some flooring products over time, especially near large windows without coverings. Humidity can also impact timber and other flooring types, particularly in coastal areas, near rivers, or in high-moisture environments.
What works well in one part of Australia may not behave the same way somewhere else, so it is important to choose flooring with your local conditions in mind.
Is thicker flooring better?
Not always. Thickness is only one part of the flooring decision.
With laminate and hybrid flooring, joint quality, stability, and product construction are often more important than thickness alone. With vinyl plank flooring, the wear layer is one of the key indicators of durability, not just the total thickness of the plank.
A thicker product is not automatically a better product, so it is worth looking at the full specification before choosing.
What should I check before installing flooring in an apartment?
Before installing flooring in an apartment, always check the acoustic requirements.
Most strata buildings have specific sound rating rules, especially for floating floors. Your body corporate or strata manager may require certain underlays, product specifications, or test results before installation is approved.
It is much easier to check these requirements before ordering than to deal with compliance issues after the floor has been installed.
Can I install flooring myself?
Some floating floors are suitable for DIY installation, but subfloor preparation is critical.
Even the best flooring product can fail if the subfloor is uneven, damp, dirty, or not properly prepared. If the floor has noticeable dips, humps, or movement, it may need professional preparation before installation.
If you are confident, have the right tools, and understand the product instructions, DIY may be suitable. If you are unsure, it is best to get advice before laying anything.
How long should flooring acclimatise before installation?
Acclimatisation time depends on the product, location, and site conditions.
In many cases, a few weeks is sufficient, but homes in high-humidity areas or locations near water may need more care before installation. Proper acclimatisation can help reduce the risk of movement, expansion, or other performance issues after the floor is laid.
It is a small step that can help protect a major renovation investment.
