Water-resistant flooring is something you should consider when renovating the wetter areas of your home like the bathroom or kitchen
Installing water-resistant flooring in these areas will be your best bet. But what type of flooring will be the best decision for your home?
We’ll help you figure that out.
What is the Best Water-Resistant Flooring Type?
There are a couple different types of water-resistant flooring that you can choose from. Don’t jump right into the flooring just yet, though. There are a few things you’ll need to
consider before making a selection. These factors are:
- Where are the damper areas of your home (kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement)?
- What room is the flooring going in?
- What kind of flooring are you interested in?
After you have the answers you need, your journey into the world of flooring can begin.
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl is one of the best flooring options for bathrooms and kitchens. Many vinyl products come in sheets, making them almost seamless. This will prevent any water from seeping down to the sub-floor.
It comes in many different styles and colors, so let your creativity fly when you make a selection. Whether you want to have normal tile or a wood look in your rooms, vinyl can get the job done.
Vinyl is a popular flooring for laundry rooms as well.
Sierra Tahoe “Encore” LVP
Encore Luxury Vinyl Plank is a breed of its own. It is one of the only flooring options that is 100% waterproof.
You can put this flooring under five feet of water and never experience a problem. This makes it one of the best flooring options for basements and also adds a little defense in case of flooding. Investing into a floor like this is beneficial if you’re getting flooring before waterproofing your basement.
Encore LVP also resists a lot of other issues like:
- Fading
- Wear
- Burning
- Staining
- Slipping
You are definitely getting your money’s worth with this product.
Avoid getting wooded floors installed in water prone areas. There is no best water-resistant laminate flooring or hardwood flooring, so your safe bet is to avoid them. You’ll have problems on your hands if water gets on wooden flooring. Go with the wood-look styles from the products listed above.
