Yes, modern vinyl flooring is completely waterproof, making it ideal for Stony Brook’s coastal humidity and occasional flooding concerns. Unlike laminate flooring, which can swell and warp when exposed to moisture, vinyl flooring has a waterproof core that won’t absorb water.
This makes vinyl perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and entryways where spills and moisture are common. You can mop with confidence, and even standing water won’t damage properly installed vinyl flooring. It’s one of the main reasons Suffolk County homeowners choose vinyl over hardwood.
