Waterproof vinyl flooring
Vinyl is the 'go-to' material if you favor flooring that repels water. Waterproof vinyl flooring can be installed anywhere in the home. It is budget-friendly, and routine cleaning and periodic deep cleaning keep it looking new. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, which mimics hardwood, is usually designed for floating floor construction. Some luxury vinyl tile flooring, which imitates wood, stone, and ceramic, also needs no attachment to the subfloor. Other brands are designed for glue-down installation. Luxury vinyl tolerates water for long periods.
Waterproof laminate flooring
Laminate flooring also mimics hardwood, stone, and ceramic. And like luxury vinyl, planks and tiles are composed of four layers: backing, core, design, and wear. Since laminate flooring has a fiberboard core, it is warm underfoot even if it is cold outside. While standard laminate is not damaged by water cleaned up immediately, waterproof laminate repels water for the amount of time listed in the product specifications. A typical laminate product is waterproof for up to 30 hours. If the floor remains wet after this time, damage may occur.
Tile Flooring
Clay-based porcelain tile is inherently waterproof. Porcelain is a type of ceramic, but it is composed of a more refined kind of clay. Also, it is hardened in a kiln at a higher temperature than ceramic. Therefore, harder and denser porcelain is superior to ceramic, which is reflected in its cost. As the most durable type of tile available, porcelain tile is appropriate for high traffic areas in the home. Tiles can be installed on walls as well as floors. Backsplashes are a popular application.
