Waterproof vs. water-resistant flooring

Are you looking for protection against water damage for one or more rooms in your home? If so, then you’re certainly going to want to know the difference between water-resistant and waterproof flooring, so you’re sure to get the kind of coverage you want and need.

Which waterproof flooring do you need?

The most significant difference between waterproof and water-resistant flooring is time. While water-resistant floors stave off water damage for a specific amount of time, waterproof materials are entirely impervious to water, so you’ll never take on damage while it’s in place.

Both vinyl plank flooring, known as LVP, and luxury vinyl tile, also called LVT flooring, offer exceptional waterproof qualities, thanks to various core materials in each product. These core layers protect against dampness, humidity, spills, and temperature fluctuations to provide a high-quality experience in any room of your home.

In bathrooms, they offer complete protection against water damage and benefit from inhibited mold, mildew, or bacteria growth. That means even your air quality will be better, which is good news for any allergy sufferers.

For a beautiful décor match, these products offer the stunning appearances of wood, stone, and porcelain tile, for a look that blends well in every room. Take a look at your options in color, style, format, and more to find what you're looking for in a floor covering.
