Hybrid flooring, also known as rigid core flooring, is a type of flooring that combines the durability of laminate flooring with the waterproof qualities of luxury vinyl flooring.
Whether or not hybrid flooring needs skirting will depend on the specific installation and personal preference. Skirting, also known as baseboards, is often used to cover the expansion gap between the flooring and the wall.
If the hybrid flooring installation requires an expansion gap to allow for natural expansion and contraction of the flooring, then skirting may be necessary to cover the gap and create a finished look. However, if the hybrid flooring is installed without an expansion gap or the expansion gap is covered by a different method, then skirting may not be necessary.
In general, skirting can add a polished look to a flooring installation and can help protect the wall from scuffs and scratches. It is ultimately up to the homeowner or installer to decide whether skirting is necessary for their hybrid flooring installation.
