What is the difference between engineered timber and hybrid flooring?

Both are popular choices, but they suit different needs: Engineered timber features a real hardwood veneer bonded over a plywood core. It looks and feels like solid timber but is more dimensionally stable, meaning it handles Melbourne’s temperature and humidity fluctuations better. It can be sanded and refinished once or twice, extending its lifespan significantly. Hybrid flooring is a fully synthetic product combining a rigid stone-plastic composite core with a vinyl wear layer. It is 100% waterproof, highly scratch resistant, and ideal for households with pets, children, or wet-prone areas like kitchens and laundries. Not sure which is right for you? Our team are former installers who can walk you through the best option for your home and budget.

Can timber flooring be installed over tiles or a concrete slab?

Yes — in most cases, both engineered timber and hybrid flooring can be installed directly over existing tiles or concrete slabs. The key requirement is that the subfloor is flat, clean, and structurally sound. Where subfloors are uneven, we use Cemimax self-levelling compound to create a perfectly flat surface before installation. This step is critical for long-lasting results and is something many cheaper operators skip. Our team will inspect your subfloor during the free measure and recommend the correct preparation method for your specific situation.

Which flooring is best for homes with pets or young children?

For busy households with pets or children, we recommend hybrid flooring as the top choice. Here’s why: 100% waterproof — spills and accidents wipe up with no damage Highly scratch and dent resistant wear layer Easy to clean with a damp mop Built-in underlay for comfort underfoot and noise reduction Laminate flooring is another excellent budget-friendly option with strong scratch resistance, though it is not fully waterproof. For a more premium look, some of our engineered timber ranges also offer enhanced coatings suited to active family homes. Come into our Ravenhall showroom or book a free consultation and we’ll help you find the perfect match.

What is the difference between floating and glue-down installation?

Floating installation means the boards click together and sit over an underlay without being fixed to the subfloor. It is faster to install, easier to replace individual boards if damaged, and is the standard method for hybrid and laminate flooring. Glue-down installation involves adhering each board directly to the subfloor using a flexible flooring adhesive. It is the preferred method for engineered timber, particularly in high-traffic areas or when installing over concrete. It produces a more solid, stable feel underfoot with less movement and noise. Our team will recommend the right method based on your subfloor type, the flooring product you select, and your budget. Both methods are available across our full product range.

How do I clean and maintain my new timber floor?

Keeping your new floor looking great is straightforward with a few simple habits: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit that can scratch the surface Wipe up spills immediately, especially on laminate which is not fully waterproof Use a barely damp mop with a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner for deeper cleaning Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching Use a doormat at entrances to reduce the amount of dirt and grit tracked in Avoid steam mops — the heat and moisture can damage both the boards and adhesive Engineered timber floors can be lightly sanded and recoated if they develop surface scratches over time, giving them a renewed look. Hybrid and laminate boards are not refinishable but are highly resistant to everyday wear.
