Vinyl + Hybrid Planks

One of the most exciting things about re-doing the floors in your home is that you have so many different options to choose from, such as carpet, timber flooring, and tiles. By far, one of the most popular these days is hybrid plank flooring. It checks many boxes in terms of durability, installation, attractiveness, and overall affordability, all of which combine to explain why you’re likely seeing it in so many homes these days.

What Is Hybrid Plank Flooring?

At its core, hybrid plank flooring options are designed to resemble traditional hardwood as closely as possible. They come in strips and are very easy to install, as well as being flexible enough to install in rooms with irregular shapes. The unique benefits that hybrid plank flooring brings to the table often go beyond standard wood flooring, making it one of the smartest investments that a homeowner can make today.

Part of the reason why hybrid plank flooring is so popular has to do with its acoustic properties. You get the sleek, sophisticated look of hardwood without having to worry about creating echoes or an unnatural hollow sound whenever you walk into the room. The Godfrey Hirst Stonehaven Hybrid Plank is a prime example of this. An extremely popular choice in, the  planks are specifically engineered with a 6.5mm thick plank that offers superior comfort and outstanding acoustic properties thanks to a stone and plastic composite layer within each plank. Hybrid plank flooring is also known for its incredible build quality – with many brands being backed by 20-25 year manufacturer’s warranties for residential applications with regular maintenance.

Speaking of maintenance, “a little effort” is the operative term. Hybrid plank flooring is by far one of the easiest flooring options to take care of, thanks in large part due to the aforementioned build quality. Only routine cleaning like sweeping and the occasional mopping is required to keep it looking its best.

Ease of Installation

Godfrey Hirst hybrid planks are sold as a floating floor, perfect for installation in wet areas as theyare water proof.  Floating Floor installtion reduces installation time with a simple click system that negates the need for nails or glue.

Unlike most hardwood floor options, hybrid plank flooring is also highly water resistant. This has made it a popular option for areas like bathrooms and kitchens where you wouldn’t traditionally see hardwood or even laminate flooring. Many hybrid plank options are actually totally waterproof depending on the type you choose. With the decorative layer of vinyl planks being a printed high-resolution image that replicates the appearance of hardwood floors, it offers the option of continuing the appearance of wooden floors throughout the rest of your home into wet areas where traditional laminate flooring fears to tread.
