The experts at Carpet One Floor & Home of Central Florida can help you find the best waterproof flooring option for your home. As your locally owned flooring store here in Florida, we know how important it is to have waterproof flooring in your home. Knowing the difference between a waterproof and water-resistant floor can make a huge difference in your purchase decision, and can also open you up to considering changing the flooring in multiple rooms of your home. Waterproof flooring is the ultimate choice when it comes to durability. Our selection even includes options that feature the natural look and feel of tile and wood.
A water resistant floor is not the same as a waterproof floor. It is not a fun surprise to find out too late that your waterproof floors are not in fact waterproof at all. Water-resistant floors repel moisture from the surface eventually soak it up and it will cause damage to your subfloor. A waterproof floor creates a watertight barrier at the surface of the floor. If moisture does make it past the surface, the core of the planks or tiles will allow the moisture to evaporate and stops it from reaching your subfloors. Unlike hardwood flooring or any other flooring types, waterproof luxury vinyl floor won’t buckle, crack, or warp due to being exposed to moisture.
More often than not, homeowners with pets and rambunctious children are the most common buyers of waterproof flooring. Occasional pet accidents happen, and you cannot always get to them right away, so waterproof flooring takes away the worry of your floors being damaged by unexpected spills.
You can install waterproof luxury vinyl flooring anywhere in your home including the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and even entryways. Since luxury vinyl comes in such realistic options, you can also get away with installing it in bedrooms and living rooms. Waterproof luxury vinyl flooring comes in a floating installation or a click-lock installation. Floating floors are the most popular choice because they are quick and simple to install and can be walked on the same day.
