• When water typically makes contact with, and is left to pool on wood or non-water-resistant flooring, moisture will seep into the board and to the core of the plank, which will then expand and warp. When floorboards become water damaged the floor is irreversibly damaged and can begin to mildew, warp and begin to get a sponge feel to it.
   

• When floors are water-resistant, it means that there’s an added barrier that prevents moisture from seeping into the core for a certain amount of time. Water-resistance means that immediate contact with water will not result in damage, but the water will have to be wiped away before it can get past the barrier.

• Waterproof flooring is ideal for any room – especially bathrooms, kitchens and mudrooms. Remember, when it's waterproof, it's worry-proof
