Why is waterproof flooring so durable?

Why is waterproof flooring so durable?

Waterproof flooring is attractive, affordable, and offers the ultimate peace of mind. In addition, it provides the highest level of moisture protection. 

Feel free to be away from home for weeks or months and come home to an undamaged floor.

It’s also highly durable. Here’s why.

Waterproof floors are thick and durable


Waterproof vinyl flooring is engineered luxury vinyl. That makes it able to stand up to the heaviest wear.

To put it into perspective, original luxury vinyl is five times thicker than the original vinyl. Waterproof vinyl flooring is even thicker than that!

Like luxury vinyl, it has a transparent, strong wear layer that protects these waterproof floors from scratches, scuffs, and dents. There's also a clear urethane finish that adds both extra strength and shine.

Cores: so tough, they can handle anything


WPC (wood plastic composite) or SPC (stone plastic composite) cores are technologically advanced. They are durable and offer the highest level of moisture protection.

Waterproof flooring won’t peel or ripple ever. It doesn’t matter how much water there is or for how long it’s been standing.  

These cores are also graded for commercial use. They both offer the same high level of moisture protection and durability.

The only difference in these waterproof vinyl flooring cores is the feeling underfoot; WPC is softer and more flexible, while SPC is solid and rigid, like a hard surface.

Other benefits of waterproof flooring

  1. Style: There are nature-inspired, true-to-life images of wood, stone, and tile.Waterproof floors have depth, dimension, and textured looks. They can be cut into planks or tile-sized squares. 
  2. Easy care: They need regular sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. 
  3. Uncomplicated installation: These floors can be glued down, installed to float, or loose-lay.
