Waterproof laminate is synthetic flooring that repels water and replicates the look of real hardwood floors. Laminate flooring comes in planks with features that simulate natural wood, including graining, knotholes and marks. These planks lock together to create a smooth surface and allow easy installation. Since it won’t swell or warp when exposed to water, unlike natural wood, waterproof laminate flooring is an excellent option for those who want the look of hardwood without the maintenance.
Water-resistant laminate has a core layer made of dense fiberboard combined with resins to help the flooring resist swelling. It also has watertight joints to inhibit water seeping through the areas where the planks lock together. For even more protection, a water-repellent seal on the surface layer works to prevent moisture and spills from seeping into the core.
While a new floor can enhance any room, you want to consider the pros and cons of waterproof laminate flooring before you decide where to install it. A few of laminate’s advantages include:
As with any type of flooring, waterproof laminate has drawbacks as well. The primary disadvantage of this flooring is the sound quality. If you install laminate floors on an uneven surface without an underlayment, the floors could sound hollow underfoot.
