Is vinyl flooring waterproof?

Vinyl flooring is one of the most versatile flooring materials on the market today, featuring superb visuals, outstanding durability, and a lifespan that makes it all worth your while. But what makes them even more appealing is that they offer a waterproof option that gives you complete peace of mind against water damage of all kinds.

The truth about vinyl flooring

The truth is, not all luxury vinyl plank flooring or luxury vinyl tile is waterproof. The core must consist of 100% vinyl, wood plastic composite (WPC), or stone plastic composite (SPC) to carry the waterproof title.

These core materials help guard against water damage from spills, leaks, and more, for flooring that protects you in every room of your home. It?s especially beneficial for basements, laundry rooms, children?s rooms, and foyers.

LVT flooring is a perfect option for these areas, as they offer beautiful, workable formats that are easy to install and replace. It provides visuals that match every d?cor option and the same great lifespan with all luxury vinyl floors.

While not 100% waterproof, even sheet vinyl protects against water damage. Since it has no seams that liquid spills can seep through, you?ll never have to worry about damage unless the spills reach the edges of the flooring.
