Water resistance in flooring means that the particular element of the floor has been designed to withstand water better than it normally would. Most floors have an aluminum oxide coating which is close to waterproof, but the seams or gaps between planks aren’t, so the floor itself is not waterproof. Waterproof flooring on the other hand features a waterproof surface and watertight gaps between the planks, so they can handle anything from an accidental spill to the sink overflowing.
Waterproof flooring comes with several different benefits. Not only will you get time back from your weekly cleaning routine, but you also no longer have to worry about accidentally missing a spill or mess. Waterproof flooring creates a watertight seal between your floors and subfloors, so accidental messes will not cause long-term damage. Waterproof flooring is also a hypoallergenic option because there is nowhere for dust or dirt to hide, and because it does not absorb moisture, there is nowhere for bacteria to thrive and grow.
Below are a few different waterproof flooring options to consider for your home.
 | Tile Flooring
