Why Waterproof Flooring Is Such a Big Deal

One question we often receive in reference to waterproof flooring is, “Why is it such a big deal?” This question arises from the mindset that these floors are only necessary for homes that might be prone to flooding at some point. While that’s certainly a great way to use these floors, it isn’t the only one. The fact is, this floor covering can offer so much more, not least of which is complete peace of mind against anything that might happen in your home with regard to water, moisture, humidity, or dampness.

Installing waterproof flooring in every room is certainly not out of the question. While it’s a perfect installation in bathrooms, laundry rooms, mud rooms, and basements, it can be just as beneficial in every other space as well. For instance, we don’t expect all spills and messes to be contained to those rooms where water originates, especially in homes with children, pets, or lots of visitors.

Durability is an important factor, and waterproof flooring and WPC flooring can meet most, if not all, of these needs. Constructed of sturdy backing material, a durable core, and design layer, this flooring is topped off with a protective wear layer. Together, they offer a wonderful lifespan and during that span, it will hold up well to whatever your home has to dish out. Heavy foot traffic and all that goes along with it can easily be fended off by the natural characteristics of this flooring.

You’ll have many materials to choose from when selecting a floor covering from the waterproof line. While luxury vinyl offers a 100% vinyl core and is one of the best materials in this line, you can also find waterproof in other flooring materials as well. Be sure to ask your sales professional which one is best for your own needs and requirements.
