Best Waterproof Engineered Hardwood Flooring – What You Need to Know

Waterproof hardwood flooring is a must-have for any home with pets, children, or a propensity to spill liquids. But as anyone who’s ever Googled “waterproof hardwood” knows, it’s not easy to find a true waterproof hardwood floor. Most of the products that claim to be waterproof are actually hybrids or laminate floors – which are much less durable than real wood. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of waterproof engineered hardwood flooring and why it’s the best option for your home.

List of Contents

What is Engineered Hardwood?

Engineered hardwood is still real wood – just like solid hardwood. The main difference is that engineered hardwood is made with multiple layers of wood, whereas solid hardwood is a single piece of wood. Generally, engineered hardwood floor mixes a solid wood veneer with a high-performance plywood base. This makes it more durable and resistant to water damage than solid hardwood.

Why Waterproof?

Wood and water don’t mix. Water can cause your hardwood floors to warp, crack, and stain. And once water damage occurs, it’s very difficult (and expensive) to repair. Waterproof engineered hardwood flooring is the best way to protect your investment and keep your floors looking beautiful for years to come.

What are the Benefits of Waterproof Engineered Hardwood?

There are many benefits to choosing waterproof engineered hardwood for your home. Waterproof floors are:

  • More durable and resistant to wear and tear
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Resistant to warping or cracking from water damage
  • Perfect for homes with pets or children

If you’re looking for a floor that will stand the test of time, waterproof engineered hardwood is the way to go.

Are Hybrids As Effective?

While hybrids may be a less costly option upfront, they’re not nearly as durable as waterproof engineered hardwood. Hybrid floors are made with a combination of real wood and synthetic materials, which makes them less resistant to water damage, more sensitive to humidity, and more sensitive to temperature changes. They also don’t look or feel quite as good as real wood floors. If you’re looking for a long-lasting floor that will withstand the test of time, go with waterproof engineered hardwood.

Best Options for Waterproof Engineered Hardwood

No matter what your style or budget, there’s a waterproof engineered hardwood floor that’s perfect for you. There are a few different options to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites:

Tigerwood: Tigerwood is a type of hardwood that’s extremely dense and durable. It’s also one of the most beautiful flooring options on the market, with a unique grain pattern that’s sure to impress.

Hickory: Hickory is another type of hardwood that’s known for its durability. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a floor that can withstand heavy foot traffic.

Maple: Maple is a classic hardwood choice that will never go out of style. It’s also one of the most water-resistant hardwoods available, making it a great option for homes with pets or children.

Oak: Oak is known for its durability and strength. It’s a great choice for any home, but it’s especially well-suited for homes with active families.
