Composition of Hybrid Flooring:
Hybrid flooring is a modern flooring solution that combines elements from different flooring types to create a highly durable and versatile product. The exact composition can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product, but here is a general overview of what hybrid flooring is typically made of:
Wear Layer: The topmost layer of hybrid flooring is the wear layer. It is usually made of a clear, transparent material that is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and fading. This wear layer is often enhanced with technologies like aluminum oxide to ensure durability and longevity.
Design Layer: Beneath the wear layer is the design layer. This layer features a high-resolution photographic image or a digital print that replicates the look of natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. The design layer is responsible for giving hybrid flooring its aesthetic appeal and can convincingly mimic the appearance of real hardwood or natural stone.
Core Layer: The core layer provides structural stability and strength to the hybrid flooring. It is typically composed of a high-density material like high-density fiberboard (HDF) or stone plastic composite (SPC). The core layer ensures that the flooring remains dimensionally stable and resistant to issues like expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature and humidity.
Backing Layer: The bottommost layer of hybrid flooring is the backing layer. This layer serves multiple purposes, including providing additional stability, enhancing moisture resistance, and, in some cases, featuring an integrated underlayment for easier installation.
It's important to note that hybrid flooring is known for its exceptional water resistance and ability to perform well in areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. This water resistance is often achieved through the combination of a moisture-resistant core layer and sealed locking systems that prevent water infiltration.
The exact materials and technologies used in hybrid flooring can vary, so it's advisable to consult with one of our expert team for precise details on its composition and features.

maintenance:
Laminate flooring maintenance is straightforward, requiring regular cleaning to preserve its appearance and longevity. Routine care involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild, approved laminate floor cleaner. It's crucial to promptly clean up spills and avoid exposing the flooring to excessive moisture. To prevent scratches, consider placing felt pads on furniture legs and refrain from dragging heavy objects across the floor. The strategic placement of rugs and mats in entryways and high-traffic areas can help reduce wear, while keeping your pets' nails trimmed will also contribute to preserving the floor's surface. It's advisable to steer clear of abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or wax, as these can potentially harm the laminate's finish.
