{"product_id":"preference-floors-lifestyle-carbon","title":"Lifestyle Collection - Carbon - 12mm Hybrid Flooring","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarbon is the darkest board in the Lifestyle Collection — a near-black charcoal-brown with restrained grain and very little variation between planks. It is the most dramatic floor in the range and the least forgiving: dust, lint and footprints show on a floor this dark in a way they do not on anything else here. The matte PU finish helps considerably, because sheen is what makes marks visible, but it is worth knowing before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken on its own terms it is a striking floor, and the 12mm board suits it — a dark floor reads as more solid and expensive when it feels solid underfoot. The Lifestyle Collection is Preference Floors' EPC range — a composite polymer and stone fibre core, distinct from the SPC and WPC constructions used across the rest of the hybrid market — and it carries a \u003cstrong\u003e0.7mm commercial-grade vinyl wear layer\u003c\/strong\u003e where residential hybrid typically runs 0.3mm to 0.5mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e2mm IXPE acoustic pad\u003c\/strong\u003e comes bonded to the underside, so there is no separate underlay to buy or lay and the floor is meaningfully quieter underfoot — which pairs well with the solidity of a thick dark board. The surface is rated \u003cstrong\u003eP4 for wet slip under AS\/NZS 4586:2013\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the boards click together as a floating floor over 200µm builders' film. Three lengths per carton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreference back it with a \u003cstrong\u003e25 year limited structural warranty, 20 years on the residential wear layer and 5 years commercial\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is an interior floor: incidental spills and pet accidents are covered, but it is not rated for bathrooms, laundries or powder rooms and is not a substitute for a waterproof membrane.
