Waterproof flooring is attractive and serviceable
Easy spill and water cleanup is a guarantee
when you install waterproof flooring in your home. Floor coverings that repel
water are attractive as well as functional. Vinyl and laminate flooring mimics
stone, hardwood, and ceramic. Some tile designs also imitate these natural
materials. American Flooring, located in Yulee, Florida, offers a large
assortment of all flooring types.
Vinyl flooring
If you're looking for an
attractive 'install it and forget about it' flooring that enhances every space
in your home, choose vinyl. Waterproof vinyl flooring can repel water for long
periods, and the budget-friendly sheet vinyl is a perennial favorite. Luxury
vinyl planks and tiles are thicker than standard vinyl. This man-made flooring
has four layers: backing, core, image, and wear. Choose a thick wear layer, and
the wood, stone, or ceramic image will be well protected, and thus, the floor
will have a long lifespan.
Laminate flooring
Laminate is another man-made material that has
four layers. Because of the fiberboard core, planks and tiles are always warm
underfoot. Standard and waterproof brands are available. In general, waterproof
laminate flooring repels water for up to 30 hours. Water should be cleaned up
immediately when the standard laminate is installed. Look for an AC3 rating
when comparing products. The floor can tolerate heavy foot traffic when this
abrasion coefficient rating is noted. Like luxury vinyl flooring, planks and
tiles click together to form a floating floor.
Tile flooring
Clay-based porcelain and glazed ceramic are
waterproof. Both types of tile can be installed on the wall as well as on the
floor. While ceramic is quite serviceable, porcelain is the superior product,
and therefore, more costly. Porcelain is harder and denser, and tiles come in
various colors, shapes, designs, and sizes. Designs that mimic wood and stone
are popular. High-quality porcelain tile, the most durable tile material on the
market, can last a lifetime. It's simple to create a unique floor by combining
several styles of tile.
