Can flooring be waterproof?


A question we are frequently asked pertains to waterproof flooring and whether it is, indeed, waterproof. The answer is a resounding yes, and in today’s post, we’re going to share some brief facts that should help you make a well-informed decision about the product line you’d like to see in your home. Follow along with us here.

What makes waterproof flooring waterproof?


The composition of a floor covering makes it waterproof, with waterproof vinyl flooring being a perfect example. Vinyl is waterproof in and of itself, and when paired with a core component like wood plastic composite, stone plastic composite, or 100% vinyl, you’ll see flooring that can even withstand a flood.

The difference between waterproof and water-resistant materials is time. Water-resistance flooring is excellent if you're sure you can clean up messes quickly after they happen to keep water damage from setting in.

However, waterproof flooring is never harmed by spills, dampness, humidity, or changes in temperature, even if these conditions go on for extended periods.
