Is waterproof laminate flooring a good choice?
Waterproof laminate can be a real game-changer in many spaces. It features watertight seals, joints, and a water-resistant core made of resin and high-density fiberboard. A stable backing layer helps seal the flooring from subfloor moisture for added protection.

Can I use waterproof vinyl outdoors?
Many homeowners often ask about installing waterproof vinyl flooring in outdoor areas, and the answer is that some can, and some cannot. Some manufacturer’s warranties do not cover extremes as they are sometimes seen in these spaces. If you'd like more information about the specific details, be sure to come in and speak with a flooring professional about the particular products you are considering.

What makes waterproof materials waterproof?
In the vinyl flooring line, it is the core makeup of the product that offers waterproof protection. Some floor coverings have a wood-plastic composite, or WPC, core, while others feature stone plastic composite, which is a bit more rigid. This composite layer is situated between the image layer and the backing layer to provide complete protection against water damage.

Are waterproof floors hard to install?
