Hybrid flooring is one of Brisbane’s most popular renovation choices, but here’s the part most homeowners hate:
Different companies. Different prices.
Different “special offers.”
Different “discounts.”
Different “today only” deals.
It’s confusing, and honestly? It shouldn’t be.
At LUXO Floors, we’re built on transparency, not retail games.
This guide breaks down exactly what hybrid flooring costs in Brisbane — clearly, calmly, and without the hidden surprises.
Who This Guide Is For
This pricing guide is perfect if you’re:
comparing flooring quotes
renovating and budgeting
confused why prices vary so much
trying to avoid retail mark-ups
choosing between 8mm and 10mm boards
wanting real numbers before speaking to anyone
If that’s you — this guide will save you time, stress, and money.
How Much Does Hybrid Flooring Cost in Brisbane?
(Simple, clear breakdown — no tricks)
There are three numbers that actually matter:
1) Product Cost (Your Flooring Itself)
LUXO Floors Pricing (incl GST):
Product | Price | Best For |
8H Hybrid (8mm, 2× scratch resistance) | $35/m² | Family homes, rentals, everyday traffic |
Hybrid Plus (10mm Stone™ Core, 5× scratch resistance) | $45/m² | Big dogs, kids, heavy use, premium builds |
CloudStep (10mm Acoustic Hybrid, 2× scratch resistance, 50% more sound resistant) | $55/m² | Townhouses, apartments, noise-sensitive homes |
Included in every order:
✔ Delivery (Brisbane + surrounds)
✔ Matching trims
✔ Personal support
✔ Installer guidance
✔ Our Standby Promise
No retail tricks. No showroom mark-ups.
2) Installation Cost (Not done by us — but here’s the REAL pricing)
Most Brisbane installers charge:
$25–$35 per m² (installation only)
Additional services:
Carpet removal: $5–$10/m²
Tile removal: $35–$45/m²
Furniture moving: varies
Stairs: depends on design (straight ≠ winding)
Older homes (especially in Brisbane’s inner suburbs) often need more prep.
“Most places gave us confusing quotes, but LUXO Floors was the only one that explained the real costs clearly. We picked Hybrid Plus and the difference in quality is insane — it feels solid, looks premium, and hasn’t moved at all in the heat.”

3) Subfloor Preparation (The #1 reason quotes vary)
Most homeowners assume high quotes = expensive product.
But in reality? It’s usually the subfloor.
According to the Australian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA) - Click for more info:
“Floating floors — hybrid, laminate, engineered timber — must be installed on surfaces with no more than ~2mm deviation over any 3m span.”
If your floor isn’t within tolerance, installers may need:
patching
grinding
sanding
levelling compound
This is why two homes with the same size get two very different quotes.
It’s rarely the floor — it’s the subfloor.
Example Price Breakdowns (Realistic Scenarios)
Let’s assume you’re flooring 80m².
Example A — 8H Hybrid + Standard Install
Flooring: 80 × $35 = $2,800
Install: 80 × $30 = $2,400
Carpet removal: 80 × $7 = $560
Estimated Total: $5,760 (incl GST)
Example B — Hybrid Plus + Simple Install
Flooring: 80 × $45 = $3,600
Install: 80 × $28 = $2,240
Estimated Total: $5,840 (incl GST)
Example C — CloudStep Acoustic + Tile Removal
Flooring: 80 × $55 = $4,400
Install: 80 × $30 = $2,400
Tile removal: 80 × $40 = $3,200
Estimated Total: ~$10,000 (incl GST)
Tile removal is always the painful one — it’s pure manual labour.
What Actually Affects Hybrid Flooring Cost?
✔ Subfloor flatness
More uneven = more prep = more cost.
Check on ATFA’s 2mm/3m rule applies to ALL floating floors.

✔ Old flooring removal
Tiles cost the most, carpet the least.
✔ Stairs
Straight is cheaper. Winding is slower and more technical.
✔ Material thickness
8mm is stable.
10mm is even more stable — and feels more solid.
✔ Open-plan layout
Most Brisbane homeowners choose 10mm because of the summer heat — the thicker board simply moves less.

Why Thicker Hybrid Floors (8mm & 10mm) Cost More — And Why They’re Worth It
A thicker plank gives you:
better temperature stability
more solid feel underfoot
less seasonal movement
better acoustic performance
fewer gaps
better performance for pets & kids
Cheap 6mm hybrid?
❌ scratches faster
❌ sounds hollow
❌ moves more across the year
That’s why we start at 8mm minimum.
What’s Included With LUXO Floors (No Surprises Later)
Every order includes:
✔ Delivery
✔ Matching trims
✔ Guidance to trusted installers
✔ Our Standby Promise
✔ Real human support

What About Wastage?
Most hybrid floors require 10% wastage.
80m² floor → order 88m².
Simple and predictable.
Common Homeowner Questions "❓"
Do I need extra underlay?
Usually no. Hybrid already has built-in acoustic backing.
Extra underlay can cause movement and void warranties.
Is hybrid flooring waterproof?
Water-resistant, not waterproof.
Spills? Fine.
Standing water? Not ideal.
Will hybrid fade in sunlight?
All flooring can fade under strong sunlight — even tiles.
Simple fix: curtains, blinds, tint.
Is hybrid worth it vs cheaper brands?
Cheap hybrid:
scratches easier
expands more
sounds hollow
shows gaps
Premium hybrid perform FAR better over time.
