Is waterproof flooring highly specialized?

Yes, it is–and that gives you the ultimate peace of mind. Read along to learn more about waterproof flooring.

Engineered to be thicker

Waterproof flooring is engineered luxury vinyl. It is even more durable than the original luxury vinyl–which is already five times thicker than the original product.

That's some extraordinary density! By the way, both are even graded for commercial use.

The core of the matter

Cores are the foundation of floors. They provide stability and determine the surface's level of moisture resistance.

These floors have technologically advanced WPC (wood plastic composite) or SPC (stone plastic composite) cores. Because of these cores, the floors won't peel or ripple ever.

You can go away for weeks or months. These floors, sometimes called waterproof vinyl flooring, will stand up to any amount of water–no matter how long it has been there.

While both cores provide the same level of moisture protection, the difference is in the feeling underfoot. WPC is more flexible, while SPC is rigid and solid.

The same style, though

Because it's a version of luxury vinyl, it has all the same style. So, you'll see designs like the COREtec Plus Enhanced Planks by COREtec or Revotec Pietra by Engineered Floors.

Waterproof vs. water-resistant

You'll hear these words often, but know they aren't the same. And we want you to understand what you are getting when you shop for waterproof floors in Sarasota, FL.

Waterproof means impenetrable. Waterproof flooring is made with inherently waterproof materials, such as vinyl, and can be submerged or spilled on.

Water-resistant means that the product will repel water for a short time. It must be wiped immediately, however, or it will break through to soak, stain and ripple.
