With chores often adding up and no end in sight, you might find yourself asking how can I get more time in the day? Investing in flooring that is stylish but also works with your lifestyle is a great place to start. Maybe you’re dreaming of a floor that does everything for you. Perhaps you’re envisioning a floor that is classy, trendy, and capable of handling the day-to-day activities of your family. Today, you don’t have to dream; waterproof flooring is just that.

Stylish, trendy, and functional, waterproof floors change lives. Choosing waterproof flooring means choosing a floor that works with your lifestyle, allowing you to live a more abundant, vibrant life, all while not sweating the small stuff. 

What is Waterproof Flooring?

Waterproof flooring is more than just a trend; it’s a lifestyle choice. With our day-to-day lives getting busier, why should you worry about flooring that can't stand up to the hustle and bustle? Waterproof flooring is a novel technology that enables the surface to resist spills, drips, moisture, and humidity. This flooring type is perfect for active homes with kids, pets, and busy schedules. Plus, it provides peace of mind as your floors are protected from accidental spills and moisture damage. Be it vinyl flooring, real wood, or carpet, our waterproof floor solutions are all about combining style with practicality.

Best Waterproof Flooring Options

Today, we centre our home design on our flooring choice. That’s part of the reason stylish floors have risen in interest along with functionality. Truth be told, most of us don’t think about the consequences of damaging our floors by something as simple as a small liquid spill. However, it’s a legitimate concern that many people don’t consider until it’s too late. Damaged floors due to minor mishaps happen all the time, and, unfortunately, they are often irreparable. More time, money, and effort are required to replace flawed floors, so why not have peace of mind and protection from the get-go? With waterproof flooring, it’s all possible. 

Let's take a look at the best waterproof floor options on the market today and explore the benefits of each type.

Waterproof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

With time at the forefront of our minds, luxury vinyl floors take the cake when it comes to easy, waterproof floors. A popular choice for its durability and variety of patterns that perfectly mimic natural materials like real wood or stone, luxury vinyl is a great water-resistant solution for high-moisture areas such as kitchens or bathrooms. Due to its multi-layer construction, which includes a waterproof backing layer along with a resilient wear layer, luxury vinyl flooring resists scratches, stains, and dents, which makes it exceptionally easy to clean. Everyday messes like spills, dirt, and pet accidents can be swiftly wiped away without leaving a trace. Overall, the combination of durability, waterproofing, and effortless cleaning makes luxury vinyl flooring an ideal choice for busy households looking for both style and practicality. Plus, our luxury vinyl flooring products are not only waterproof but also come with the exquisite appeal of real wood or natural stone.

Waterproof Laminate Flooring

Another incredible wood-look option, laminate is a cost-effective and stylish flooring solution that mimics authentic hardwood. Waterproof laminate flooring features a robust wear layer that shields against scratches, dents, and moisture. The flooring also includes tight locking systems that prevent water from seeping through the seams, maintaining a seamless barrier against moisture. Our waterproof laminate floors are designed to resist spills and stains, ensuring your floors stay beautiful and functional for years to come.

Waterproof Carpet Flooring

Thanks to advancements in technology, what was once thought of as impossible is possible—waterproof carpet! Now, you can enjoy the softness and warmth of a carpet without worrying about spills and stains ruining its beauty. Our waterproof carpet options are designed to stay soft, vibrant, and stain-free, even in high-traffic areas of your home.

Our products boast a fusion of carpet and technology that has created a product unlike any other. How does it work? The waterproof backing system coupled with specialized dye chemistry causes liquid to stay on top of the carpet, rather than sink in. For you, that means the ability to pick up a mess on the surface, rather than deep scrubbing into the padding. With colours that don’t fade or deteriorate, the headache of having to deal with carpet problems can be erased and forgotten. Complementing your home with carpet is not a thing of the past but, instead, a comforting investment in the impending future, which always seems to come too quickly! 

Waterproof Engineered Hardwood

In addition to carpets, hardwood floors have continuously brought an alluring presence to homes, to the delight of homeowners. Distinctive, genuine, and incomparable in character, hardwood stands out in any room.

Imagine if you could get both hardwood and waterproof flooring. Today, that is possible! Resilient and dependable, engineered hardwood is real wood, designed to be more moisture-resistant than solid wood. It offers the classic charm of hardwood while providing superior resistance to spills and moisture, making it an ideal choice for damp areas or in houses with pets and children. How is that possible? Designed with active homes in mind, this waterproof hardwood is engineered with a new generation core that is common in luxury vinyl floors, meaning that water does not seep through the layers into the subfloor beneath. We can’t think of a better way to enhance home life than by getting stunning hardwood floors that are pleasing to the eye and your lifestyle. 

Naturally Waterproof Tile Flooring

Last, but certainly not least, tile remains a timeless choice for its resilience, easy maintenance, and natural waterproof qualities. Available in a variety of styles, sizes, and colours, tiles can add a touch of elegance to any room. Whether you opt for ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone tile, each option provides unique benefits that enhance living spaces from your bathroom to your kitchen or laundry rooms.

• Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay that is kiln-fired at high temperatures, resulting in a hard, durable surface that is naturally water-resistant. This makes ceramic tiles an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other high-moisture areas.

• Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic tile that is denser and less porous, making them even more water-resistant. Their low water absorption rate makes them ideal for wet areas such as showers, pools, and outdoor spaces.

• Natural stone tiles, such as marble, granite, and slate, offer a luxurious and timeless appeal. While these stones are naturally water-resistant, they often require sealing to enhance their waterproof properties and protect against staining and moisture damage.
