What is waterproof flooring?
This is one of the first questions asked, many times, in relation to this flooring. Simply stated, it is a floor covering that is completely impervious to water. This means that instead of simply standing up to spills and humidity for a certain amount of time, these things will never damage this flooring.
The real factor is time. When dealing with flooring that is water resistant, you only have a matter of hours before the liquid soaks into your flooring, eventually causing damage. However, waterproof flooring can withstand flood conditions and still be ok. This means that everything from spilled sippy-cups to washing machines that overflow, pose no threat to your floor.

Delving more into the construction of the product, you’re likely to hear the term “WPC” in regards to this floor covering. It stands for wood plastic composite, and it’s the reason the flooring doesn’t soak up water. When combined with the backing, usually constructed of a plastic material or natural cork, depending upon the brand, you have a flooring that will last for many years, looking great the entire time.
