Laminate or Hybrid Flooring? Product Expert André Explains the Differences Between Our Floors

Which flooring is right for the kitchen, bathroom or living room? When choosing the right floor, five factors are key: the type of room and level of moisture exposure, the desired surface properties, design preferences and budget.

In the video, EGGER product manager André explains the differences between the two EGGER flooring product families:
NatureSense* – the wood‑based laminate floors, and AquaDura – the water‑resistant hybrid floors.

He also highlights other important criteria to consider when choosing flooring – and explains why EGGER’s wood‑based floors are a sustainable alternative to LVT flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions: Rooms, Care & Installation at a Glance

Which rooms are suitable for laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, children’s rooms, hallways and home offices. The EGGER NatureSense* range offers suitable laminate floors for all living areas. NatureSense* Aqua is also suitable for kitchens and bathrooms thanks to its waterproof click profile, while NatureSense* Aqua+ is additionally designed for higher‑traffic and commercial areas.

Can laminate flooring be installed in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes – with the right moisture‑resistant laminate flooring. Standard laminate is not suitable for wet rooms, as it is sensitive to moisture. However, EGGER NatureSense* Aqua and NatureSense* Aqua+ are specifically designed for damp environments. The waterproof Aqua CLIC it! click system prevents moisture from penetrating the joints.
NatureSense* Aqua offers 24‑hour water resistance, while NatureSense* Aqua+ provides up to 72 hours of water protection.

Is laminate flooring suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. All four EGGER NatureSense* laminate flooring variants are suitable for hot water-based underfloor heating systems as well as electric panel and foil heating systems. For optimal heat transfer and performance, EGGER underlays specifically designed for underfloor heating are recommended.

Can laminate flooring be installed yourself?

Yes. All NatureSense* laminate floors are installed as a floating floor – without glue or nails. The click system is designed for DIY installation and does not require specialist skills. Individual planks can be lifted and replaced if needed. Installation instructions and suitable accessories are available in the EGGER range.

How do I clean laminate flooring properly?

All EGGER NatureSense* laminate floors are particularly easy to care for thanks to their highly abrasion‑resistant, scratch‑ and stain‑resistant surfaces. For everyday cleaning, dry sweeping or light damp mopping is sufficient. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents and standing water to keep the floor in top condition.
