Waterproof flooring basics

 
Waterproof flooring, including WPC (wood plastic composite) flooring is completely impervious to water, dampness, humidity, moisture, and spills of all kinds. It’s what you install in basements, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and bathrooms when you want complete assurance that you’re safe from water damage. And you should know exactly what to look for when shopping this line.

Luxury vinyl tile is an excellent waterproof material and when it has a 100% vinyl core; it can even withstand a full flood. It also has a backing material that is not only waterproof, but that resists mold, mildew, and bacteria growth, making your home a much healthier place that’s easier to breath in.

Porcelain tile is another waterproof flooring that works very well in kitchens and bathrooms. While it may not be 100% waterproof in raw form, once it has been grouted and sealed, it’s unlikely that water will ever present a problem. In fact, many homeowners not only utilize the flooring in their bathrooms, they even install it inside their showers.

Many homeowners take advantage of waterproof flooring throughout their home. While it makes perfect sense for a select number of rooms, it should not be overlooked that it provides the same peace of mind in every room, especially since accidents and spills can happen anywhere. It helps that this flooring line offers a wealth of appearance options including vibrant colors and the look of natural resources such as wood and stone. Truly, no decor will be left out in attempting to match this material line.
