If you haven’t looked at vinyl plank flooring lately, you may be surprised to learn that it has come a long way. With innovations in the industry, it looks more realistic than ever. In fact, it can easily be mistaken as solid hardwood flooring. Another innovation is that not only can you find water-resistance options, but there are now even waterproof vinyl plank floors on the market.
One thing you should know about waterproof vinyl plank floors is that while they won’t be damaged easily by excessive water, they can’t sit it in for days. The product will give you an outline for how long you have to take care of water removal before a problem could result. It is generally plenty of time to react to a broken water line though, so it does qualify as “waterproof”.
The next thing to know about waterproof vinyl plank floors is that they must be installed properly to get lasting performance, even in high moisture conditions. While this is a product that some DIYers feel comfortable installing, others prefer to put it in the hands of an experienced flooring contractor. In either case, it is important to follow the manufacturer recommendations to be sure you enjoy lasting results.
