A few facts about waterproof flooring
You might be wondering if waterproof flooring and water resistant flooring are the same thing. We can assure you, they are not. Water resistant is just that, a resistance to water. Spills, moisture and humidity will take much longer to affect floors that are resistant, however it will eventually succumb, and that’s where problems can ensue.
Waterproof, on the other hand, is completely oblivious to spills, moisture, humidity, standing water and even flooding. In fact, if a water emergency occurs, you will probably be able to take this flooring up, dry it off and place it right back on your floors, with no problems to the flooring itself. It really is the only flooring that can give you complete and total peace of mind.
In the event that water does become an issue, you can also rest assured that you won’t have to worry about mold or mildew. The backing of this floor covering is usually completely resistant to their growth. You won’t have to worry about that foul, musty smell either, since no bacteria that creates it will have the chance to fester.
As you might expect, waterproof flooring is an absolute cinch to clean up. In most cases, a broom sweeping followed by a damp mop are all you’ll ever need to keep things looking like new.
