Important water-resistant flooring facts


When choosing water-resistant floors, you'll have more time to clean up any spills or messes. Some products are rated to protect for up to 72 hours after dampness, humidity, or spillage.

But it's essential to ensure cleanup within that time range. If left beyond the water-resistant flooring rating, water damage could result.

Waterproof flooring is perfect for busy homes


If you need 100% waterproof protection, these floors provide it. Waterproof flooring stands against all moisture, spills, and even flood conditions, with no damage.

If you have pets, children, or both, you'll want the peace of mind these floors bring in every room of your home. The good news is that it's available and ready for your consideration.

Choose brilliant visuals as well


No matter which of these flooring types you choose, you'll find impressive visuals in them. In addition, waterproof vinyl flooring can mimic natural materials like wood, stone, and porcelain tile for excellent decor matching.
