Waterproof flooring can be made in a few different ways. There are also some flooring products that claim to be waterproof, but only have a waterproof top layer or exterior. If these are exposed to water from beneath or the plank is cut (as it is right next to every wall in the room) then these floors lose their resistance to moisture. Our waterproof flooring is 100% waterproof from top to bottom. If the plank is cut into twenty pieces and submerged in water, it will be no more vulnerable than it was when it came off the manufacturing line. Our waterproof floors have also been constructed with a very hard core material, which gives them tremendous structural stability and makes them more impact/dent resistant than many other manufactured options.
What Exactly is Waterproof Rigid-Core?
We are very excited to introduce this new flooring collection, The Windlass Collection, featuring game-changing new technology. This collection features a Waterproof Rigid Core that ranks superior to most luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) products that are currently on the market. Capitalizing on the extremely durable and scratch resistant top layer that is widely used throughout the industry, we’ve also improved every layer underneath to create a truly unique and superior new product. An extremely dense material has been engineered to use as a structural layer, which is far superior in terms of impact and dent resistance in comparison to other products found on the market. For the base layer, we’ve created an anti-microbial, non-slip surface that is designed to keep the planks from sliding while also acting as a sound-dampening layer. From top to bottom, our new Waterproof Rigid Core flooring exceeds the limits of every other competitive product on the market.
