Waterproof flooring: taking the industry by storm
It doesn't matter where
you live. Sometimes we spill something, overturn a glass of red wine or
assemble the blender improperly and end up with a strawberry smoothie on the
floor. Available in sensational,
true-to-life echoes of wood, stone, and tile, in a wide assortment of colors
and patterns and texture features, these floors are highly durable, affordable,
and easy to care for with fast and easy installation. Here are three options.
Mohawk Revwood Select/Plus
This is an innovative wood-look product that offers ultimate
moisture protection. Mohawk's Hydroseal technology repels moisture, and it is
combined with Uniclic, a glueless locking system that traps water on the
surface. The product comes in two versions: "Select," which withstands splashes
and spills, and "Plus," which
adds a beveling technology to add both realism and moisture protection. A Mohawk Revwood Plus floor can even be steam
mopped, often not recommended.
Waterproof vinyl flooring
This is a newer version of luxury vinyl
flooring (LVF), engineered to be thicker, more durable, and constructed with
the WPC or SPC technologically advanced cores.
These cores offer the highest moisture protection level and won't peel
or ripple no matter how much water the floor is exposed to or for how
long. Waterproof means the product is
constructed of waterproof materials, in this case, vinyl and the cores; the
floor can be spilled or submerged and, when wiped dry, will be fine. While the
two cores have the same protection level, SPC is firmer and more rigid, with
the feel of a hard surface; WPC is softer, warmer, and more resilient.
Waterproof laminate flooring
This material has been seen mainly as a
wood-look product. Thanks to a unique construction that makes it spillproof, it
has no limitations regarding where it can be installed. Special backings and an
HDF (high-density fiberboard) core that's more stable keeps spills at the top
where they can't absorb, stain or peel.
