What is the difference between Hanwood and Floor Select laminate flooring?

Jayden97

We've decided on the colour blackbutt and there are 2 options, hanwood water resistant or floor select waterproof.

I want to know the exact diffrence between waterproof and water resistant with these 2 products.

They will be installed in a bedroom and living with small children prone to spills.

Hello @Jayden97

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about laminate flooring.

The difference between the Floor select hybrid and Hanwood water-resistant model is that the Floor Select Hybrid is 100% waterproof, making it excellent for bathrooms, kitchens, and wet areas. HanWood Laminate on the other hand is only water-resistant and can swell if standing water is left uncleaned, but it does feature superior scratch-resistant durability for everyday living. Between the two, I would suggest using https://www.bunnings.com.au/floor-select-6mm-2-2m-blackbutt-hybrid-waterproof-flooring_p0135656 as it provides better performance, especially if standing water is left on its surface.

Please note that the https://www.bunnings.com.au/floor-select-6mm-2-2m-blackbutt-hybrid-waterproof-flooring_p0135656 already has an underlay pre-attached so there is no need to purchase a separate underlay for this product.
