In general, we recommend sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-bristled instrument, being careful not to use vacuums with a beater bar or hard bristles. You should also consult your guide for the care instructions particular to your flooring material. In all cases, be sure to follow the instructions in the Warranty, Installation, and Care Guide that comes with your flooring.
WATERPROOF VINYL FLOORING CLEARANCE INSTALL
If you opt for tile flooring we recommend that you hire a professional to install it for you, as it takes some expertise to work with grout and mortar. DIYers will also appreciate our selection of peel-and-stick vinyl flooring options, and the Press Fit Technology that makes our Hydrocork products so easy to install. For example, we offer vinyl, laminate, and Duravana Hybrid Resilient products with quick-click options. Many of our waterproof floors feature simplified installation methods.

Create a beachy, casual vibe with weathered gray designs resembling driftwood, or use a deep walnut to bring rich elegance to a room.

Shop our selection of beautiful wood-look waterproof tile that replicates the grain and texture of hardwood.

It provides the look of upgraded flooring without the need to worry about the messes kids and pets might leave behind. Vinyl is a budget-friendly waterproof option. Let’s take a closer look at the qualities and benefits that each type of waterproof flooring offers. So, a water-resistant floor provides you with more time to clean up any spills before they affect your flooring. Water-resistant materials are not impervious-they will eventually absorb liquid, but at a much slower rate than materials with no water resistance.

Waterproof materials are impermeable, meaning water will not seep through-it'll stay on the surface until you clean it up or it evaporates. Note that there's a difference between waterproof and water-resistant flooring. Among our selection of vinyl, hybrid resilient, tile, laminate, and waterproof cork products, you'll discover many attractive wood-look and stone-look designs that fit a range of budgets and tastes.

Here at LL Flooring, we carry a wide variety of stylish waterproof flooring, including easy-to-install options that DIYers will appreciate. You can typically install this flooring on any level of your home, so you can enjoy a consistent look throughout your interior. This high-performance flooring can even bring an authentic wood or stone look to areas where natural flooring wouldn't be compatible. Waterproof flooring is a great choice for areas of your home that are prone to spills, splashes, or are generally just wet-such as bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms.
