How to Choose the Best Waterproof Flooring

Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and mudrooms are all areas in the home that are targets for water and moisture. When considering new flooring for these rooms, many options offer waterproof and water-resistant properties that look beautiful, durable, and easy to care for. Choosing these products for your moisture-prone areas saves you the headaches and expense involved when some floor coverings soak up the water and warp. Vacation homes, homes with pets and children, and businesses with heavy traffic can all benefit from water-resistant flooring.

What is the Best Waterproof Flooring?

When deciding the best waterproof flooring options, you should consider several things before making a choice:

  • Where will the flooring be used?  Kitchens and bathrooms may have more spills, while entryways and mudrooms may also have more traffic, dirt, and moisture.
  • What is your style? Is your home traditional or contemporary? Are you looking for a casual look or a high-end appearance?
  • How much time will you spend on cleaning and maintenance?
  • What is your budget?

Types of waterproof flooring

Summit Flooring Source carries waterproof flooring that is durable and beautiful. Some choices to consider are:

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

One of the most popular types of waterproof flooring is luxury vinyl flooring. Homeowners and businesses love the versatility, durability, and low cost of luxury vinyl tile. Though the product is 100% synthetic, it appears natural looking with looks mimicking natural wood or stone. It is totally waterproof and with the click and lock installation, very little moisture can penetrate the seams. Spills are easy to clean up, and regular maintenance is quick and simple.

Luxury vinyl planks or tiles are so versatile and can be easily and quickly installed. They are durable, resist scratching, and are budget-friendly. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or throughout the entire home.

Waterproof Laminate Flooring

 Not all laminate flooring is waterproof, but laminate flooring can be treated to be water resistant. Use laminate flooring in areas where you want the look of hardwood but not the price. It has a wood core, so spills should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Since it is installed as a floating floor, it is, however easy and affordable to repair if needed.

Waterproof Hardwood Flooring

Though hardwood flooring has gotten a bad rep for not being water-friendly, new advancements in finishes and treatments have produced protection that can stand up to spills and moisture. With waterproof hardwood, your entire house can have the same flooring throughout without worry of water damage.
