If you're remodeling or building and are interested in waterproof flooring installation, here are the trends you need to know about right now.
Wood-Look Waterproof Flooring
One of the most dominant trends is waterproof flooring that mimics the look of hardwood. Thanks to advanced imaging and texture technologies, today’s water resistant flooring options look incredibly realistic.
- Waterproof luxury vinyl plank and waterproof laminate styles offer authentic wood textures in popular finishes like white oak, walnut, and rustic pine.
- Homeowners love that they can get the appearance of hardwood in moisture-prone spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, or basements.
SolidTech by Mohawk is especially popular for wood-look styles that combine beauty with next-level water resistance and easy maintenance.
Wide Planks and Long Boards
Wide, elongated planks are trending in both laminate and vinyl categories. These oversized dimensions create a sense of openness, make rooms appear larger, and enhance the natural variation of wood grains.
- Many waterproof flooring lines now offer wide plank formats to meet demand for a clean, modern look.
- Ideal for open-concept homes or large gathering spaces.
Matte and Low-Gloss Finishes
While glossy finishes had their moment, low-sheen styles are dominating waterproof floors right now. Matte finishes hide dirt and smudges better while creating a softer, more natural appearance.
- Great for high-traffic households with kids and pets.
- Works well with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
High Durability for Pets and Kids
Pet owners and busy families in Commerce Charter Twp and nearby areas love waterproof flooring for its resilience. Surfaces that are scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean are now a top priority.
- SolidTech flooring by Mohawk offers excellent performance against pet accidents, muddy paws, and spills.
- Combine with waterproof baseboards and trim for full protection.
Mixed and Unique Textures
Textures like hand-scraped, wire-brushed, or embossed in register add dimension to water resistant flooring. These tactile features bring floors to life and help hide signs of wear.
- Mixed textures can be used to add character to farmhouse, coastal, or rustic-inspired interiors.
- Embossed in register designs align the surface texture with the visual grain for ultra-realism.
Easy DIY-Friendly Installation
Today’s waterproof floors are not only stylish but also easier to install. Floating click-lock systems and pre-attached underlayment make waterproof flooring installation quick and efficient.
- Perfect for homeowners considering a weekend DIY project or wanting minimal disruption during a remodel.
- Even professional installers appreciate how fast and clean the process has become.
