What is Hard Flooring? 

Hard flooring is a catch-all term for the strong stuff—that is, anything that’s not carpet or traditional tiles. Think hybrid, laminate, engineered timber, and vinyl. These floor types are built for durability and are perfect for homes that want to look good without the high maintenance. At Beaumont Tiles, we’ve curated some of the best hard flooring options to help you build a home that’s both functional and fabulous.

Why Choose Beaumont Hybrid Flooring for High-Traffic Areas?

Hybrid flooring blends the finest features of all hard floor technologies into one exceptional solution, making it a true standout in the world of hard flooring. With multiple layers that deliver on strength, stability, and water resistance, it’s a top choice for spaces that see a lot of action. Here’s why it stands out: 

i. Scratch & Stain Resistance – Great for those spontaneous zoomies from the dog or kids dragging school bags across the floor. Our hybrid flooring features a robust 0.55mm wear layer. This commercial-grade surface provides superior resistance to scratches, scuffs, and stains
ii. Water-Resistant Powers – It handles splashes like a champ, though we don’t recommend it for full-on wet zones like bathrooms or laundries.
iii. Comfy & Quiet – Built-in underlay means it feels great underfoot and reduces the stomp-stomp of little feet.
iv. Low Maintenance – A quick sweep and a light mop? Done and dusted. It's even safe to use a steam mop—making deep cleaning simple and efficient.

Installation Made Easy (DIY Friendly!)

But we recommend a Pro

Thinking of tackling your flooring project yourself? SPC Core hybrid flooring features a smart click-lock system that makes it a great option for confident DIYers. With the right preparation and by carefully following our installation guides, you can achieve a smooth, professional-looking finish. 

That said, proper installation is key to ensuring your floor performs at its best—and to keeping your warranty valid. So unless you're experienced and have reviewed the product documentation in full, we strongly recommend leaving it to the pros. 

At Beaumont Tiles, we always suggest professional installation for peace of mind and lasting results.

What is our Hybrid Flooring made of?

It’s a multi-layer marvel! Hybrid flooring includes a protective wear layer, a decorative print layer (hello, gorgeous wood look), a rigid core like stone polymer composite, (SPC Core) and an acoustic underlay for comfort and sound control. 

Is Hybrid Flooring water-resistant? 

You bet it is!  SPC Core Hybrid flooring is highly water-resistant—perfect for kitchens and living areas. But for bathrooms and laundries? Better to go with options specifically designed for those wetter spaces (Tiles).

Can I install it over my existing floor?

In many cases, yes. As long as your current floor is flat and in good condition, you can lay hybrid flooring right over the top. Please see the installation guide for more information. 

How long will Hybrid Flooring last?

With proper care and pro installation, you’re looking up to 25 years of beauty and durability. Not bad, huh? 

How do I clean it?

Regular sweeping and vacuuming are key, but when it comes to mopping, we highly recommend our Bona Tile Hybrid & Laminate Surface Spray Mop Kit. It’s specially designed to keep your floors looking fresh without causing damage—because your investment deserves the best care.

What about underfloor heating?

SPC Core hybrid flooring plays nice with underfloor heating systems. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
