Yes, true waterproof flooring creates a complete moisture barrier that protects against water from any direction. The stone plastic composite cores used in quality waterproof vinyl flooring contain zero organic materials that can absorb moisture or support mold growth.
This technology has been tested in commercial kitchens, hospital settings, and below-grade installations where moisture exposure is constant and severe. Your Northville, NY home’s normal humidity, spills, and cleaning routines won’t phase these floors.
The layered construction includes waterproof backing, waterproof core, and protective wear layer. Water can sit on the surface indefinitely without penetrating. Steam, humidity, even minor flooding won’t cause the swelling, warping, or delamination that destroys traditional flooring.
Unlike water-resistant options that eventually fail, waterproof flooring maintains its integrity permanently when properly installed.
