Yes, it is 100% waterproof, and this is excellent news for anyone who's ever wanted the warmth and texture of wood in a wet area, like the bath or kitchen. This true-to-life echo of wood, stone, or tile follows all current industry trends, including the currently trending marble and terrazzo floors, signature gray wood-looks for farmhouse styles, or vibrant encaustic or chevron-patterned tiles.
A stylish, sophisticated technological marvel
Images are taken with 3D photography, so they’re clear, accurate and show wormholes, knots, raised grains, and color/veining variations. It doesn’t stop there; the image layer is micro-beveled and embossed to add depth, design, and texture appearances, such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, or distressed. There’s even more, with this vinyl being cut into planks to mimic hardwood boards called vinyl plank flooring; when cut into square, groutable tile-sized pieces, it’s called LVT flooring. They are all finished with matte, gloss, or high-gloss colors, which brings us to another trend: the high-gloss wood floors seen in design pages.
Design durability
The luxury design doesn't translate to high maintenance; this product is durable and layered, with a top clear, strong melamine wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and scuffs. While all vinyl is strong, this one is thicker and should measure at least 8-mm or more. As for low maintenance, it just requires a daily sweeping and weekly mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner; avoid wax, shine promoting ones, as they can dull the finish.
Installation can be an uncomplicated and fast floating floor technique. Pieces click together like a puzzle, mat and then hover over the subfloor with no nails or glue needed. Subfloors need to be clean, dry, and level.
