Have you heard of waterproof laminate?

Laminate flooring has been around for years, providing excellent materials for homeowners who want or need an affordable wood-look option. However, waterproof laminate may be a new topic for many. It’s a great option for damp areas or spaces where spills are often an issue.

If you need more information about this material, you’re in the right place. We’re going to talk more about what it is, what it can and can’t do, and why you might benefit from installing it in your own home. Read along now for all the information you need.

Here’s what you need to know about waterproof laminate

Waterproof laminate floors are an excellent way to protect your floors against all kinds of spills and messes. They are durable, hard-wearing, and offer excellent resistance against daily wear, just as normal laminate would do. In homes with pets and children, it’s an excellent asset.

However, waterproof laminate flooring still comes with a word of caution. They feature an interlocking installation system that keeps liquids from seeping down in between the boards, however, unlike other waterproof materials such as luxury vinyl, water laminate has a core board made primarily of wood components. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

That means, while you’re protected against water from the top, the same cannot be said for moisture or condensation that comes up from beneath. If there are moisture issues in your subfloor layer, then, you’ll need to have a vapor barrier installation, even underneath these waterproof laminate floors.

Since the very nature of these materials is determined by quality installation, it is strongly advised that you leave the job to experienced, professional installers. Your flooring will be protected, and you’ll have the peace of mind that should come standard with these types of floor coverings. You’ll be glad you made this decision.
