Hybrid flooring has been growing in popularity over recent years, due to its combination of luxury appearance and ability to withstand everyday scuffs, scratches and stains. However, not all hybrid flooring is created equal, with variations in locking systems playing a critical role in installation success and long-term customer satisfaction with their flooring selection. With the right locking system, hybrid flooring can be easy and reliable to install.
Most trusted locking system
Most installation issues with hybrid flooring are a result of the end ‘click’, which is why our preferred method is the Angle/Angle - Sidetap locking system for these reasons:
- Less susceptible to damage
- Impact-force not required
- Minor damage will not lead to catastrophic installation faults
- 'Stronger' locking tensile strength, yet the 'looser' lock allows for more tolerance with movement
- Trusted and well-known click system that has been used for more than 20 years
Packaging to make life easier
We have upgraded our packaging from white coated boxes to brown boxes. Due to the glossiness of white boxes, they often slide around when transported which may cause damage to the flooring product as a result. Furthermore, we have removed printed installation instructions found in the boxes to avoid possible imprint transfer onto the planks or tiles and replaced with a QR code on the outside of the box for added convenience.
