Waterproof flooring is available in several materials
Pet accidents, faulty
appliances, and muddy boots aren't a problem when you have waterproof
flooring in your home. Laminate, ceramic, natural stone and vinyl are
popular flooring materials that repel water. These materials resist
stains and abrasion, too. Kingdon's Home Center in Watseka, Illinois,
provides a wide variety of trendy styles in each of these materials.
We are a locally owned business that was established in 1975.
Natural stone
Most natural stone that
is quarried from out of the earth is porous. Therefore, your
one-of-a-kind floor must be sealed periodically throughout its
lifespan to retain its water-repelling capability. Stone is
inherently burn, scratch, and dent-resistant, and it tolerates heavy
foot traffic very well. Granite, marble, slate, travertine, and
sandstone are popular stones. Stone tile is installed with mortar,
and the stones are joined together with grout.
Ceramic
Ceramic tile is made
with clay and then hardened in a kiln. Glazed ceramic is waterproof.
The tile often comes in standard sizes and solid or limited colors.
Ceramic tile is shaped with coarse clay, while inherently waterproof
porcelain, a type of ceramic, is made of fine kaolin clay. Porcelain
is harder and denser than ceramic. Tiles come in many colors and
designs, including those that mimic hardwood and stone.
Vinyl
Waterproof vinyl
flooring imitates hardwood, stone, and ceramic flooring. Sheet vinyl,
which is cut from a large roll for each project, has no or few seams,
so water pools on the surface. Luxury vinyl planks and tiles are
thicker than sheet vinyl. Most brands have a wood-plastic composite
or a stone plastic composite core. WPC flooring and virtually
indestructible SPC flooring can tolerate water for long periods.
Laminate
Like vinyl, waterproof
laminate flooring mimics three natural materials. Laminate and luxury
vinyl planks and tiles are usually designed for floating floor
installation, so no attachment to the subfloor is needed. Laminate
flooring has a fiberboard core, so it is always warm underfoot.
Planks and tiles are also available in standard brands. Waterproof
brands repel water for the amount of time specified by the
manufacturer, usually about one day.
