Three tips for choosing waterproof flooring

Waterproof flooring is "worry-free" flooring. It gives you the ultimate peace of mind.

It's a trending product these days. Everyone today is too busy to worry about leaks, floods, or those 'oops" moments when they spill.

Tip #1: Look for style

Waterproof flooring is an engineered version of luxury vinyl (LVF). You'll get the same high-end fashion with realistic echoes of wood, stone, or ceramic tile.

The images are taken with high-definition photography. In addition, there's embossing and micro beveling for depth, dimension, and textured looks.

Like LVF, the flooring is cut into tile-sized squares or planks. Installation is an uncomplicated click-and-mat floating floor.

Tip #2: Ask about the wear layer

Waterproof vinyl flooring is layered. Above the design image is a tough, clear, melamine coating that protects the floor from scratches, scuffs, and dents.

Wear layers are measured in mils. The best is 20 mils for a highly trafficked floor in a busy room.

A robust wear layer makes it impossible to wear down the image in waterproof vinyl flooring.

Tip # 3: Understand the WPC or SPC core

Wood plastic Composite (WPC) and stone plastic composite) cores offer the highest level of moisture protection. The waterproof flooring won’t peel or ripple ever. It doesn't matter how much water or long it's been there.
