Water can be a floor's worst enemy. From spills and pet accidents to leaks and floods, water damage can ruin many types of flooring, leading to costly repairs or replacement. Thankfully, modern flooring technology has given us a new hero: waterproof flooring.
This category includes a variety of materials designed to provide complete protection against moisture. At Floorz in Brentwood, TN, we specialize in waterproof flooring solutions that offer style, durability, and complete peace of mind for homes in Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville, Nolensville, and Spring Hill.
What Makes a Floor Truly Waterproof?
A truly waterproof floor is made of materials that are impervious to water. This means that even if water sits on the surface for a long period, it will not penetrate the floor's core or cause it to swell, warp, or buckle. While some floors may be "water-resistant," they can still be damaged by standing water. A waterproof floor is a much safer bet for any room, especially those prone to moisture.
Popular Types of Waterproof Flooring
-
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Tile (LVT): LVP and LVT are the most popular waterproof flooring options on the market today. Their core is made from a stone plastic composite (SPC) or wood plastic composite (WPC), making them 100% waterproof. They are also highly durable, easy to clean, and come in a stunning array of styles that mimic the look of hardwood, stone, and tile.
-
Tile (Porcelain and Ceramic): Porcelain and ceramic tiles are naturally waterproof. They are a classic choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. The only place where water can be an issue is in the grout lines, which can be sealed to make them more water-resistant.
-
Waterproof Laminate: While traditional laminate is not waterproof, some newer versions are designed with a waterproof core and a protective locking system that prevents water from seeping through. These are a great option for those who love the look of laminate but need extra protection.
