Hydro Merit is a current water-resistant laminate, and the closest match to the Hydro colours FlooringZone used to list. Boards are 196mm wide, 1830mm long and 12mm thick, with an AC4 medium-commercial wear surface, a matt finish and embossed grain. Twelve colours run from whitewashed and silver-grey oaks to blackbutt and spotted gum looks, with six print patterns per colour. The surface is water-resistant to everyday spills and damp mopping, but it is still a laminate: wipe up water and never let it pool. It suits kitchens, living areas and family homes, and floats over a flat subfloor (4mm in 2m) with a click joint. Never glue it down, and it is not for bathrooms, toilets or laundries. Clever offers a 30-year residential warranty and a 10-year surface water warranty for spills from above, subject to the manufacturer’s installation and care conditions. Steam mops void it.
