What is waterproof flooring?

Waterproof flooring is comprised of layers, much like many other flooring choices, most of which are entirely plastic. However, the backing portion of most waterproof floors is usually made of cork or a plastic composite. Throughout the entire floor, there is nothing that can be compromised by water or moisture.

It’s also important to note what waterproof flooring is not. For instance, you might have also heard the term "water resistant", which is definitely not waterproof. Water resistance means that the floor will withstand water, spills, and moisture for longer periods than some regular floors. However, it is still eventually susceptible to having the water soak through to create problems.
