​

Do I Need a Moisture Barrier or Black Plastic?

Under standard installation conditions, a moisture barrier or black plastic is generally not required for Imperial Flooring Australia® hybrid flooring collections.

However, if excessive moisture is present within the subfloor, an appropriate moisture barrier must be installed prior to flooring installation.

​

We always recommend ensuring the subfloor is dry, level, and prepared in accordance with Australian Standards and manufacturer guidelines.

​

Is Hybrid Flooring DIY Friendly?

Yes. SPC hybrid flooring is specifically designed with an easy click-lock installation system, making it suitable for DIY installation.

​

For best results:

• Follow manufacturer installation guidelines carefully

​

Professional installation is also available through Imperial Flooring Australia®.
