Why does everyone need waterproof flooring?
It doesn't matter where you live because we all can have plenty of moisture and humidity in our homes. Our air conditioners can leak, our dishwashers can flood, and we all have those moments when we drop a gallon of milk or spill juice, water, coffee–in any room, not just the kitchen! Please read further to see why waterproof flooring might be for you.
The basics: It’s not the same as water-resistant flooring!
When something is waterproof, it means that it's impervious to liquid. It doesn't need unique coatings to help it because the product is made from waterproof materials, such as PVC vinyl. This flooring can often be submerged or spilled on. Water-resistant flooring will repel liquid for a short time, but unless wiped immediately, it will soak the core, peel, and ripple.

Waterproof flooring is stylish and hard-working
This is a more advanced version of luxury vinyl (LVF), so while it has all the same style, it's engineered to be even thicker and more durable. Waterproof vinyl flooring is constructed with the WPC (wood plastic composite) or SPC (stone plastic composite) cores. WPC and SPC provide the highest level of moisture protection, never peeling or rippling.
Let's talk more about style. The images of wood, stone, and tile are made digitally and have micro beveling and embossing, technologies that give depth and dimension. Embossing also makes it possible to add textured looks, such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, distressed, and embossed-in-register.
Waterproof flooring can be cut into planks to mimic hardwood floorboards. Many choose rigid core planks constructed with SPC to give a hard surface feeling like hardwood or stone. Another alternative is that square, groutable, tile-sized pieces can be used with or without grout.

Low maintenance, easy installation
Waterproof vinyl flooring is a low-maintenance product. It requires only regular sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. Please avoid waxy, shine-promoting products as they can damage the finish and dull the floor. The floors come with a clicking mechanism where the pieces fit together to mat and hover over the subfloor.
