Waterproof flooring is a wise investment
You
won't be sorry if you invest in waterproof rather than standard floor
coverings. The lifespan of your new floor might be longer, and you'll
have peace of mind throughout that lifespan. With proper care, you
can count on your floor to retain a 'like new' look. Waterproof
flooring is composed of materials like ceramic, natural stone, luxury
vinyl, and laminate. You can find a large selection of each type of
flooring at Builders Wholesale Finishes. We have a showroom in Morrice,
Michigan, and we offer a shop-at-home service, too.
Ceramic waterproof flooring
Porcelain,
a type of ceramic, is naturally waterproof. Porcelain is made with
fine kaolin clay, while ceramic is made with coarse clay. Porcelain
tiles are hardened in the kiln at a higher temperature than ceramic
tiles. Thus, porcelain tiles are denser and harder than ceramic
tiles. Porcelain tiles are the most durable type of tile on the
market. Wood-look porcelain tiles, which are often shaped like small
planks, are trendy at this time.
Natural stone flooring
Natural
stones like travertine, marble, and limestone are a high-end choice
for a bathroom, kitchen, or mudroom. These quarried stones add an
attractive and unique 'straight from nature' element to room decor.
Weight is a factor to consider before placing stone in any home
space. Like ceramic, most stones are porous. Thus, a stone floor is
sealed during the installation process and then resealed regularly
throughout its lifespan.
Waterproof vinyl flooring
Some
waterproof vinyl flooring imitates ceramic and stone flooring and
also offers a wood-look floor. Luxury vinyl planks mimic many wood
species, while the most fashionable luxury vinyl tiles imitate wood
and stone. The best luxury vinyl flooring does not peel, warp, or
buckle even when exposed to standing water. This floor covering is
designed for glue-down, loose lay, and floating floor installation.
Waterproof laminate flooring
Laminate
flooring is available in the same format as luxury vinyl flooring. It
includes a fiberboard core so that you can depend on underfoot warmth
in any season. With standard laminate flooring, water pools on the
surface to make immediate cleanup easy. On the other hand, waterproof
laminate flooring can tolerate water without damage for the amount of
time listed in the manufacturer's instructions. A one-day time period
is typical.
