Choosing hybrid flooring for a Perth home
Built for Perth slabs and summer heat
Hybrid flooring has become the most popular hard floor in Australian homes for a simple reason: it pairs a printed timber look with a rigid stone polymer core and a click joint, so you get a floor that is stable in heat, quiet underfoot and simple to lay over most existing hard floors. For Perth homes on concrete slabs, where summer heat and full sun through big windows test a floor every year, that rigid core is the main advantage over older vinyl planks and laminate. It does not move the way a timber based core can, and it does not show up small subfloor imperfections the way a thin glue down plank can.

- Quiet underfoot
- Floats over existing floors

Thickness and wear layer, explained
Two numbers separate an entry level hybrid from a premium one: thickness and wear layer. A 5mm to 6mm board with a 0.3mm wear layer is a sound choice for bedrooms and rentals. From 6.5mm up, with a 0.5mm wear layer, a pre attached acoustic underlay and a 25 year residential warranty, you are in the specification that suits open plan living and busy family homes. Use the filters on this page to narrow the range by colour, room, thickness and warranty, or bring your room measurements into a showroom and we will work through it with you.
- 6.5mm plus for living areas
- 0.5mm wear layer standard
- 25 year residential warranties

FAQs
How water resistant is hybrid flooring?
Hybrid flooring is water resistant. The rigid core does not swell when it gets wet and everyday spills wipe up without harm, which is why it is so widely used in kitchens and open plan living. No floor should be regarded as completely waterproof, as water can enter through joins, edges and other installation points, so bathrooms and laundries rely on correct installation and prompt clean up of standing water. For rooms that are wet every day, a direct stick vinyl plank is often the better choice, and our consultants will say so.
How thick should hybrid flooring be?
Most hybrids sit between 5mm and 10mm. Thickness mostly affects how solid and quiet the floor feels and how well it bridges minor subfloor dips; the wear layer on top (0.3mm to 0.55mm) is what decides how long the surface resists scratching and scuffing. For living areas and hallways we suggest 6.5mm or more with a 0.5mm wear layer. Zenith 1800 at 10mm is the heaviest specification we carry.
Hybrid or laminate: which is better for Perth homes?
Laminate has the harder surface and the most convincing timber texture, and it is usually the lower cost option, but its core is wood based and it dislikes moisture. Hybrid is the pick for kitchens, living areas that open to the outdoors and anywhere a spill is likely. Many WA homes mix the two room by room: hybrid through the living zones, laminate in the bedrooms.
What does hybrid flooring cost in Perth?
The price is driven by board thickness and wear layer, the brand, the size of the job, subfloor preparation and the trims and transitions needed. Rather than quote a square metre figure that leaves those things out, Jupps provides a free measure and quote that covers supply, installation, underlay where required and finishing.
Can hybrid flooring be laid over existing tiles?
Usually, yes. Hybrid floats over sound, flat tiles, with deep grout lines skimmed first so they do not show through. Our installer checks the subfloor as part of the measure and will tell you if levelling is needed.
