Best Flooring For Humid Climates
For all our home owners that live in high humidity areas, you can still create a home that you've always dreamed of without worrying about the floors being damaged from moisture intake.
Lets first understand the difference between Waterproof and Water-resistant Flooring. Many customers think they share the same meaning, in reality, they do not.
Waterproof flooring is engineered to withstand large spills for long periods of time and high moisture areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. This flooring will not absorb moisture, to a certain extent to the point of structural damage such as warping or cupping of the flooring.
Water-resistant flooring is flooring that can withstand minimal moisture that is cleaned quickly. If the moisture or spill sits for longer than 48-72 hours you're running against the clock and may see structural damage in the future from the moisture sitting too long.
Waterproof Vinyl Flooring
Our COREtec Vinyl Flooring is one of our favorite Vinyl floors. It is a wood plastic composite making it highly durable and 100% waterproof. This flooring has a cork underlayment, adding extra protection against the humidity! There are so many stunning choices when it comes to style with COREtec, you will absolutely find a flooring style you love with this collection!
We offer COREtec in a wood plank style giving the look of a hardwood floor, as well as COREtec tile, giving the look of porcelain tile. COREtec is a great option because it gives you the ability to have different styles throughout your home, all while providing protection against the humidity and liquid spills.

Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Another great option is Vinyl Sheet flooring. This type of flooring is great for humid basements or any area that you are needing a large amount of flooring to cover that is also resistant against any moisture.
Waterproof Laminate Flooring
Our Epwroth Pergo Laminate is the perfect realism wide plank flooring duo, providing both durability and waterproof innovations. This laminate is superior and is finished with an antimicrobial property to protect the floor from scratches, dents and water. With a premium attached pad, your worry less, and enjoy more, making liquid spills a no big deal!

Wood Look Porcelain Tile
Its hard to beat the Novellette Laminate but our Kris Kros Wood Look Tile is another awesome choice when looking for the perfect flooring to protect against humidity. The obvious difference between these two is that one is a laminate and the other is tile. Tile is the ultimate winner when combating extreme humidity. This is why you always notice tile in coastal beach houses or places with such high humidity rates. Tile is a must in bathrooms and laundry rooms because of the moisture and foot traffic carrying water and dirt in. If you’re wanting a wood floor but don't want to deal with the potential warping, scratching and defects, Wood Look Porcelain Tile is the choice for you!
Porcelain Tile
Like stated above Porcelain Tile is the ultimate waterproof flooring option, “The Goat” of flooring if you will. Check out our website for the endless selection of porcelain tile styles we offer! The humidity has nothing on porcelain tile!
