How each flooring material handles water
Water-resistant flooring is not damaged by water that is cleaned up right away. The flooring is usually designed to promote pooling on the surface, so water is easy to remove. Waterproof flooring, in contrast, does not shrink, warp, or peel even if it is exposed to water for a more extended period. Dallas Floor & Remodel in Addison, Texas, carries several types of waterproof and water-resistant flooring. In addition, we make shopping for flooring easy for our North Dallas area customers with our shop at home service.
Vinyl
The best luxury vinyl planks and tiles won’t structurally change when covered in standing water. This floor covering can be installed everywhere in the home, including the basement and stairs. Some brands are backed by a pet-friendly warranty, too. You can’t go wrong by installing waterproof vinyl flooring. You’ll have peace of mind during the floor’s long lifespan.
Laminate
Laminate planks and tiles, unlike their vinyl equivalents, are warm underfoot since the flooring includes a fiberboard core. Standard and waterproof brands are available. Some companies refer to the latter type as 'water-resistant.' Regardless of the terminology, these brands typically repel water for about 24 hours. After a day, damage to the floor is possible.
Engineered wood
If you like the look of wood, choose engineered wood flooring. This manufactured wood comprises a surface layer of hardwood and a plywood base that tolerates moisture. So, while this product is not waterproof flooring, it is more practical than solid wood flooring. Planks are designed for floating floor installation to be installed over cement slabs.
Carpet
The toughest carpet brands are often backed by pet-friendly warranties. Pet accidents and spilled water bowls do not damage the highly stain-resistant carpeting. Busy, active families appreciate these water-resistant brands as well. Tracked-in mud spilled food and other typical mishaps clean up quickly and easily. These high-tech brands enjoy a long lifespan.
