Waterproof vs. Water-Resistant — two terms that sound similar but perform very differently. Here’s what your customers need to know ⬇️️
Water-Resistant = Surface protection only
✅ Handles splashes and light moisture
❌ Water can pe*****te seams and core over time
❌ Not suitable for showers, basements, or high-moisture kitchens
Examples: traditional laminate, budget vinyl
Waterproof = Total protection
✅ Core, edges, and backing fully impervious
✅ Resists standing water, humidity, and minor flooding
✅ Safe for bathrooms, steam areas, basements, and kitchens
