Hybrid (SPC) and vinyl are popular because they’re fast, practical, and often budget-friendly. Microcement is chosen for a different reason: a seamless, architectural finish that looks built-in.

What you’re really choosing
Hybrid/Vinyl: a manufactured plank/sheet system designed for speed and practicality.
Microcement: a layered mineral finish system where prep + sealing determine performance.
Durability and wear
Hybrid (SPC) / Vinyl
- Wear layer protects day-to-day scuffs
- Dents can happen from heavy point loads
- Repairs often mean replacing planks/sections
Microcement
- Sealer system is the protective layer
- Grit control matters (entry mats reduce micro-scratching)
- Best outcome depends on correct prep and system choice
Moisture and “wet-adjacent” zones
Hybrid and vinyl are often chosen for kitchens and entries. Microcement can also suit these spaces when the system is designed for the wear level and sealed correctly.

Who should choose what?
- Choose hybrid/vinyl if you want speed, practicality, and predictable cost.
