Five great types of waterproof flooring

These days, some pretty exciting types of waterproof flooring, including high-end style and countless functional benefits. A walk through our waterproof flooring store will turn up some attractive options.

Tile: classic and time-honored

You’ll never go wrong with tile flooring. Porcelain is ideal for heavily trafficked floors in busy rooms like the kitchen and bath and can even be used outdoors. Ceramic tiles come in 4 X 4 squares, decorative mosaics, and subway tiles, all in an almost unlimited number of colors, shapes, sizes, and designs. They can be used on floors, walls, countertops, backsplashes, and tub/shower surrounds.

Porcelain comes in countless colors and patterns and can be made to look like anything, including wood, stone, fabric, and leather. It can also be used on walls, and tub/shower surrounds.

Waterproof laminate flooring

Long famous for stylish wood looks at affordable prices, a new version, with a non-wood construction, makes this spill-proof, eliminating concerns about soaking, staining, and rippling.

Luxury vinyl flooring: great value for your decorating dollar

This product is affordable, stylish, waterproof, durable, and low maintenance with a fast, easy installation. It provides true-to-life images of wood, stone, and tile with micro beveling and embossing to add depth, dimension, and textured looks with images inspired by nature. It can also be cut into vinyl planks to mimic hardwood boards or groutable squares to echo stone and tile.

Luxury vinyl (LVF) is made of 100% waterproof materials and submerged (such as in an appliance flood) or spilled on.

Slate & granite

All-natural stone floors add value to a property, but they all don't have the same waterproof abilities. Sealing takes care of that challenge but, if you'd instead, stick with slate and granite, which are entirely impervious to liquid.
