Hello Trusted Members!

We are in Victoria, Australia, and are looking at redoing our floors. As we are in lockdown it is impossible to head out to have a look and speak to trades and get samples. At this stage we are tossing up between Hybrid floors and Luxury Vinyl Planks.

Wondering what people’s opinions are on which one performs better and lasts longer? We have 2 young children and an indoor dog - so would like something hard wearing. We will be pulling all skirts off and finishing to the wall and putting new skirts back on, rather than using scotia.

I’m terms of using hybrid there seem to be varying thicknesses - is there a particular thickness we should consider? What is the benefit of various thicknesses?

In terms of laying should we go over the existing flooring, or do the extra work of pulling out the carpet/underlay/tiles?

Anything else we should consider before making a decision or considering before installing?

Thank you in advance!!
Ange
