Aqua Stone 8.5 Brighton Hybrid Flooring

Aqua Stone 8.5 Brighton – pale creamy oak hybrid flooring

Brighton is the pale creamy oak colour in the Aqua Stone 8.5 range. Aqua Stone 8.5 is the thicker board in the range: an 8.5mm rigid stone-composite core with a 0.55mm wear layer and a P4 slip rating, so it feels solid underfoot and copes with wet areas and busy hallways. Brighton is one of 13 colours in the range.

Where it works best

Because Aqua Stone 8.5 is waterproof and hard wearing, Brighton can run through open-plan living, kitchens, hallways, bedrooms and wet areas without a change of floor at doorways. Its light tone helps smaller or south-facing rooms feel larger and hides dust well.

Installation and care

Aqua Stone 8.5 floats over concrete slabs, tiles, timber and existing sheet flooring that is flat, dry and clean. Planks click together and need no glue. Sweep or vacuum regularly and damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner.
