Why everyone should have waterproof flooring

What does waterproof mean? We want you to know what you're getting, so here's a clear explanation.

Waterproof floors vs. water-resistant

Water-resistant means that the product will repel water for a short time. However, it will break through the barrier and soak the core unless wiped immediately.

When a product is impenetrable, liquid cannot soak through. Therefore, the product also makes waterproof materials, such as vinyl, with inherent capability.

Where should they be installed?

Wet areas like the kitchen, bath, laundry, or mudrooms are the obvious choices. Air conditioners and HVAC units leak; however, pipes can burst anywhere, and even chimney flashing can be damaged.

What are waterproof flooring options?

People are just too busy to worry about floors damaged by water. Some great choices are:

1. Porcelain: This is heavier, denser, and waterproof whether or not it's glazed. It is used either doors or out.

2. Luxury vinyl: These affordable, impenetrable surfaces come with true-to-life images of wood, stone, and tile. These surfaces have depth, dimension, and textured looks.

3. Waterproof flooring: The king of waterproof floors! This is luxury vinyl, engineered to be thicker and more durable. They are constructed with the WPC (wood plastic composite) or SPC (stone plastic composite) cores that offer the highest level of moisture protection.

4. Rigid core flooring: This luxury vinyl plank with an SPC core gives these floors an even higher level of moisture protection and a solid and robust feeling underfoot.
