Waterproof laminate flooring is a versatile option that mimics the look of hardwood or stone but offers enhanced resistance to moisture. Traditional laminate flooring consists of a fiberboard core that can swell and warp when exposed to water, making it unsuitable for areas prone to spills or humidity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or basements. Waterproof laminate, on the other hand, features a waterproof core that prevents water absorption and protects against damage.
