What is Water-Resistant Flooring?
Water-resistant flooring is designed to withstand exposure to moisture without being easily damaged. While it repels water to a certain degree, it is not fully waterproof and may allow moisture to seep through over time, depending on the amount of water and the amount of time it is left standing.
The Benefits of Water-Resistant Floors
Water resistant flooring has many benefits, such as:
- protecting floors against damage and costly repairs
- saving time due to replacement or repairs that would be needed without water-resistant flooring
