Practices, pets, parties, playdates, oh my! In the chaos of a busy life, messes can happen — and no one should spend their precious time worrying about spills, splashes, and stains. It’s crucial to pick flooring that fits your lifestyle, but where to start? Today's waterproof flooring offers easy care and peace of mind while looking fabulous. In this post, we'll dive into the benefits of waterproof flooring, the latest technologies, and how to choose the right waterproof flooring solutions for your home. So, let's get started!
Why Choose Waterproof Flooring?
Waterproof flooring is designed to withstand spills, splashes, and pet accidents that are a fact of life in active households. Unlike traditional flooring options, waterproof floors are not damaged by moisture, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other moisture-prone areas. High-quality options are also resistant to scratches and stains, perfect for high-traffic areas and homes with pets or children. No more stressing over every spill or scratch!
The Best Flooring for Active Spaces
In high-traffic areas with kids and pets, opt for top-tier hard surface flooring like Pergo® laminate or vinyl, engineered to resist scratches, dents, and moisture. Features like All Pet® protection, guarding against all pet-related accidents, provide an extra layer of assurance for a home that's always on the move.
Benefits of Waterproof Flooring
-
Durability: High-quality waterproof flooring is built to last. Some options even come with warranties that cover pets and their inevitable accidents. No more stressing over every spill or scratch!
-
Easy Maintenance: Caring for waterproof floors is a breeze. Most can be wet mopped for a more thorough clean, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your home.
-
Versatility: Waterproof flooring is available in a wide range of styles and colors, from realistic wood looks to modern stone designs. Whether you're going for a rustic vibe or a sleek, contemporary look, there's a waterproof floor for you.
Types of Waterproof Flooring
There are two main types of waterproof flooring to choose from, each with its own unique set of benefits. Let's take a closer look:
-
Waterproof Vinyl Flooring: Also known as luxury vinyl tile (LVT), this is one of the most popular options. Known for its durability, stain resistance, and realistic wood and stone looks, vinyl offers the ultimate in waterproof performance. It's perfect for families who want a floor that can handle anything life throws at it.
-
Waterproof Laminate Flooring: Laminate flooring offers the beauty of hardwood with the toughness of laminate. And premium laminated wood products are also 100% waterproof, offering even greater peace of mind. It's a great choice for those who love the look of wood but need something more resilient.
