What’s the best waterproof flooring option?

There's no time limit for how long waterproof flooring will be impervious–making it the best choice.  

You'll have peace of mind knowing your floors will be undamaged no matter how much water or long it's remained.

Waterproof vs. water-resistant flooring


You must know what you are getting. Some use the term interchangeably, but that's incorrect.

Water-resistant means the product repels water for a short time. But, unless wiped immediately, it breaks the barrier, soaks, stains, peels, and ripples.

When a product is waterproof, it’s impervious to all leaks, floods, and spills. This is because it's made of waterproof materials–in this case, vinyl– making the waterproof vinyl flooring capability inherent.

Core matters


Cores are the foundation of a floor. When the core is damaged, the whole floor needs replacement.

WPC (wood plastic composite) and SPC (stone plastic composite) cores never peel or ripple. They're both durable and, in fact, so much so they're graded for commercial use.

Both offer the same level of moisture protection. The only difference is the feeling underfoot.

WPC is softer and more flexible, like a resilient product. On the other hand, SPC is solid and rigid, like a hard surface.

Oh, but that style!
