How to Choose Flooring for Your Brisbane Renovation

Renovating in Brisbane? Here's how to choose the right flooring—timber, hybrid, vinyl—for your project, budget, and lifestyle.

By Liam Turner

Choosing flooring for a renovation can feel overwhelming. Timber, hybrid, vinyl, laminate—each has pros and cons. Here's a practical guide for Brisbane renovators.

Start With Your Subfloor

Your existing subfloor dictates options:

Concrete slab – Most flexible. Timber, hybrid, vinyl, laminate all possible with correct prep.
Timber subfloor – Timber and hybrid work well. Vinyl needs a very flat surface. Laminate possible with prep.
Uneven or mixed – May need significant prep. We assess and quote.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Pets and kids? Hybrid or vinyl—durable, scratch-resistant, easy to clean.

Wet areas? Hybrid or vinyl—waterproof options available. Timber needs careful sealing.

Heritage home? Timber or hybrid—both suit character. Hybrid often more practical.

Budget-conscious? Vinyl or laminate—but don't skip prep. Poor prep voids warranties.

The Prep Rule

Whatever you choose, preparation is non-negotiable. We've seen premium flooring fail because of inadequate prep. We've seen budget flooring perform brilliantly with proper preparation. Invest in the base.
