Storm Luxury is a long-board hybrid. Each plank is 1800 × 225 × 7mm: a 5.5mm SPC rigid core with a 0.5mm wear layer, plus a 1.5mm IXPE underlay bonded underneath. Boards join with a 5G drop-down click. The twelve colours include natural and grey-washed oaks, two dark vintage oaks, and Australian looks such as Spotted Gum and New England Blackbutt. The long, wide format suits open-plan living. The plank won’t swell, so spills and mopping are fine. It is a floating floor only. The manufacturer does not permit it in bathrooms or laundries and does not recommend underfloor heating. For apartments, it was rated AAAC 5★ in a field test (L’nT,w 43) over a 200mm slab with a suspended plasterboard ceiling; your strata may still want a test for your building. Warranty: lifetime (25-year limited) structural, 20-year residential coating and 10 years commercial, subject to the manufacturer’s installation and care conditions.

Will it suit your home?

Bathrooms & laundriesNot suitable

Underfloor heatingNot suitable
Underfloor heating isn't recommended for this floor; talk to us about a heating-friendly alternative.
Sanding & refinishingNot applicable
Hybrid has a printed design layer under its wear layer, so it can't be sanded or refinished.
Pets & high trafficA good choice
A rigid core with a 0.5mm wear layer suits busy homes and pets, though scratches, dents and pet accidents aren't covered by warranty.
Apartments (acoustic)Suitable
Field-tested for apartments over a 200mm slab with a suspended plasterboard ceiling; your strata may still want results for your building.
