What is hybrid parquet

Hybrid parquet combines a 0.6 mm real-wood wear layer with a high-density HDF core. Thanks to advanced edge sealing, ultra-matt lacquer systems and precision click-lock, it delivers water-resistant wood flooring with excellent dimensional stability and the authentic look and feel of real wood.

Technical structure

• 0.6 mm real-wood veneer (oak, walnut and other species) with genuine grain and EIR texture.

• HDF core for stability, solid underfoot feel and strong mechanical performance.

• Sealed edges and micro-bevel 4V for added protection against accidental spills.

• Protective finishes: multi-layer ultra-matt lacquer, anti-bacterial, anti-static and R10 anti-slip options.

• High-precision click system for floating installation; typical total thickness 7–11 mm.

Water resistance

Hybrid parquet offers hours of water resistance against everyday spills and mopping when used as specified: wipe liquids promptly, seal perimeters and use a vapour barrier where required. It’s ideal for those who want real wood with everyday peace of mind.

Performance and benefits

• Authentic wood look and touch—superior to any imitation.

• Water-resistant and hard-wearing thanks to sealed edges and technical lacquers.

• High dimensional stability from the HDF core with reduced swelling.

• Acoustic comfort with a firm, pleasant footfall.

• Sustainable use of timber: the 0.6 mm wear layer optimises material while preserving natural beauty.

• Underfloor heating compatible in many ranges (observe max temperature and system R-value).

Where to install

• Living rooms, bedrooms, corridors: maximum warmth, style and comfort.

• Kitchens: an excellent choice when joints are sealed and care guidance is followed.

• Offices and light-commercial areas: select the appropriate usage class.

• Bathrooms: only where the product and site conditions allow; for constant water contact choose SPC vinyl.

Other hybrid flooring options

SPC hybrid – rigid core vinyl

• Core: mineral composite + PVC (SPC rigid core).

• Surface: HD vinyl décor with 0.30–0.55 mm wear layer.

• Installation: click floating, often with IXPE/EVA acoustic underlay integrated.

• Best for: kitchens, bathrooms, refurb over level ceramic.

• Key points: 100% waterproof, very stable, low-maintenance.

WPC hybrid – wood-polymer core vinyl

• Core: WPC (polymer + wood fibres) for a warmer, cushioned feel.

• Surface: vinyl with matt/satin finishes.

• Installation: click floating.

• Best for: residential and moderate commercial.

• Key points: excellent acoustic comfort; avoid prolonged direct sun.

Water-resistant hybrid laminate

• Core: hydro-treated HDF with AC4/AC5 melamine surface.

• Finish: high-wear melamine with water-resistant treatment.

• Installation: click floating (bonded in specific projects).

• Best for: busy homes and offices.

• Key points: great value and high surface resistance; not 100% waterproof like SPC.
  (Keywords: laminate flooring AC5, water-resistant laminate)

These systems complement hybrid parquet: pick SPC for full waterproofing, WPC for maximum comfort, or hybrid laminate for surface hardness on a tighter budget.

Quick comparison

Hybrid parquet vs SPC vinyl

• Hybrid parquet: real wood, water-resistant for hours, premium aesthetics.

• SPC: 100% waterproof, ultra-stable on imperfect subfloors, firmer underfoot and less “real-wood” feel.

Hybrid parquet vs laminate

• Hybrid parquet: genuine wood surface and better day-to-day moisture tolerance than most laminates.

• Laminate AC4/AC5: very cost-effective and highly scratch-resistant, but not wood.

Hybrid parquet vs engineered or solid wood

• Hybrid parquet: lower total cost, clean install, better tolerance to occasional moisture.

• Engineered/solid: maximum nobility and can be sanded, but more demanding in humidity control and budget.

Formats and design

• Modern plank sizes including XL boards.

• Herringbone and chevron layouts for timeless elegance.

• 4V micro-bevel to highlight each plank.

• EIR synchronised texture and ultra-matt finish to enhance the pore.

• Colours: natural oak, smoked oak, light grey, white, honey and smoked tones.

Recommended installation

Click floating

The most common method for hybrid parquet: fast, clean and perfect for refurbishments. Requires a level, dry subfloor, vapour barrier on mineral screeds and perimeter expansion gaps.

Fully bonded

Delivers maximum stability and improved acoustic transmission to the substrate. Requires fine levelling, a compatible adhesive and experienced installers.

Care and maintenance

• Routine: vacuum/sweep and well-wrung mop with pH-neutral cleaner.

• Avoid: standing water, abrasive pads, non-specific waxes/silicones.

• Protect: felt pads on furniture, entrance mats, relative humidity 40–65%.

• Repair: board replacement on click systems and light touch-ups on the wood layer.

Price of hybrid parquet

Price per m² depends on the species/grade of the 0.6 mm wear layer, lacquer system, format and finishes (EIR, 4V, herringbone), installation method, brand and usage class.

Frequently asked questions

Is hybrid parquet 100% waterproof?
No. It is water-resistant for hours in daily use. For continuous water exposure choose SPC vinyl.

Can a 0.6 mm hybrid parquet be sanded?
It does not support deep sanding like a 3–4 mm engineered top layer. Use local touch-ups or board replacement.

Can I install over tiles?
Yes, if the subfloor is sound and level. Click floating works very well in refurbishments.

Is it compatible with underfloor heating?
For many ranges yes. Observe maximum temperature and system R-value.

How does it compare with AC5 water-resistant laminate?
Laminate isn’t wood; hybrid parquet is. Hybrid offers real-wood feel and visuals with good day-to-day moisture tolerance.
