The Best Waterproof Flooring Options

Updated: December 11, 2024

Beautiful new flooring can completely transform your business —but if it’s vulnerable to water and moisture damage, the shine of that new flooring can wear off quickly. Rather than investing in hardwood flooring and carpet options that require frequent maintenance and costly repairs, protect your business with the best waterproof flooring options from Precision Flooring Services. We offer a wide range of engineered, long-lasting options that can perfectly suit your color palette and style aesthetic. 

Waterproof Flooring

There are two categories of durable materials to consider for your business’s hardest working floors. Water-resistant flooring options can handle small spills, wet feet, and mopping, though they aren’t built for heavy or long-term water exposure. However, waterproof flooring options are different. They feature a non-porous construction or top seal that repels water and prevents damage. Waterproof floors can handle frequent exposure to high moisture levels, spills, and outright floods. The only thing about water that can damage waterproof floors is if the water has a high or low pH.

Common types of waterproof flooring include:

• Vinyl
• Properly rated PVC
• Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) 
• Tile with properly rated grout

Why Choose Waterproof Flooring

The best waterproof flooring offers several advantages. Today’s flooring manufacturers are continuously creating beautiful, safe, and endlessly customizable styles of floor, all with the following benefits:

No Water Damage

Water damage is an expensive problem for any business or home. The material can curl, rot, and break down if water seeps into traditional or even “water-resistant” flooring. Carpets will develop musty stains, paneled floors will bend and warp, and the subfloors underneath can even start to give way. With waterproof flooring, you don’t have to worry about that damage. You don’t even have to dry the flooring with an expensive combination of water extractors and dehumidifiers. You can simply contain and mop up the water.

Easy to Clean

You can easily vacuum, wet mop, and scrub waterproof flooring. The material can handle the most common cleaning agents and tools.

Long-Lasting

The same characteristics make the best waterproof flooring hard to damage and make it last a long time. You can enjoy your floors for years longer than other types of flooring will last, and they will pick up fewer scratches, stains, and signs of damage along the way.

Where Should I Put Waterproof Flooring?

You can install waterproof flooring throughout your business or home, especially if you want a seamless floor without transitions. But it’s the best flooring for wet areas, in particular, such as: 

• Bathrooms: These rooms will have high moisture and may see spills from bathtubs and plumbing fixtures.
• Kitchens: Kitchens frequently see spills from water and food. They may also encounter spilled water from the sink or the dishwasher.
• Laundry rooms: Laundry machines and connections can leak water, and the bulky, heavy machines may block spills from sight.
• Basements: Basements are vulnerable to leaks, floods, and standing water. Investing in waterproof flooring makes them easier to clean and keep dry.
• Entryways: Make it easy to mop up rain and shoe prints!
