Waterproof Laminate: Fully Stands Up To Moisture

Laminate wood flooring has always been a popular choice for homeowners who desire the traditional hardwood look but want a more affordable option or easier installation process. Laminate is a man-made surface that replicates your favorite wood grains through its beautiful design layer. That design layer is paired with an inner core, backing layer and transparent top later that helps withstand wear, fading and scratches.

Unlike traditional laminate flooring options, waterproof laminate flooring features the same construction but with a few enhancements to withstand against splashes and spills and ensure maximum durability. Waterproof laminate planks are usually coated to protect the floor and repel water. The joint system is also a factor that helps distinguish a laminate floor as waterproof. There is a very tight joint or seam that is created when the planks are installed correctly that prevents water from seeping through from above.

Waterproof laminate flooring is very easy to maintain with simple sweeping and vacuuming. It is important to note that while waterproof laminate can withstand water, you should still clean up spills as soon as possible as you would with any other flooring material.
