Complete Buyer's Guide to New Waterproof Hardwood Flooring Options

Protect your floors and the look of your home with waterproof hardwood Mohawk flooring. Learn how to find the right floors for your home.

Hardwood floors never go out of style, and it's easy to see why. They are beautiful, versatile, timeless, and full of character. However, they aren't the easiest floors to maintain.

One thing that not enough homeowners think about when they're picking out hardwood floors is the risk of water damage. When wood floors get wet, they start to soften and rot, which damages the integrity of your home.

Excessive moisture is also the perfect place for mold to sprout, which no homeowner wants. The good news is that there are more waterproof flooring options today than ever. You don't have to sacrifice the luxury of hardwood floors or deal with their high-maintenance requirements.

In this guide, we're going to break down our top waterproof flooring options for your home. Let's get started.

Why You Should Choose Waterproof Flooring

When you're choosing floors for a new home or a home renovation, it's tempting to make your choice based on aesthetics. Yes, you want your floors to look amazing, but there are several other factors to consider.

First, consider the durability of your floors. Hardwood flooring is known for lasting for decades; however, if it sustains too much water damage, it falls apart. If you have pets or children who are more prone to spills and messes, you don't want to risk your beautiful floors getting damaged in just a few years.

Next, if you live somewhere damp that floods easily, traditional hardwood is a risky flooring choice. This is especially important to keep in mind if you have a basement.

Instead of risking it with traditional hardwood floors, choose waterproof flooring instead. Thanks to the brilliance of engineered hardwood, you can still achieve the look and feel of wood floors while having extra waterproofing protection.

Never worry about flooding, spills, or accidents again with waterproof flooring. They are easy to clean and maintain, and they are long-lasting. They're also an affordable option.

With all of these advantages, choosing a high-quality waterproof floor is a no-brainer. Let's look at our top choices for waterproof hardwood flooring next.

Mohawk Ultrawood Waterproof Flooring 

Mohawk has been a leading floor brand for a long time due to its products' superior quality and durability. After mastering carpeting, Mohawk has transitioned into hard floor products, and customers all over the country are extremely pleased with what they deliver.

Mohawk's Ultrawood flooring products are the ultimate performance hardwood. They feature Mohawk's WetProtect technology, so they are completely waterproof, but they are still real engineered wood floors. 

They also feature Mohawk's EasyClean and EverLast technologies, which ensure durability and low maintenance. With all of this innovative tech, you might worry that Mohawk flooring doesn't look like authentic wood. Fortunately, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

All of Mohawk's Ultrawood products feature an authentic grain pattern that only real wood can achieve. At Znet Flooring, we offer Mohawk Ultrawood in a variety of styles and colors, so you can still get the exact real wood look you want without sacrificing quality.

However, the Sebastian Isle, Crosby Cove, and Gingham Oaks are also popular Mohawk flooring product lines, and they are all waterproof.

Both of these options should have a vapor barrier installed underneath when going over a concrete subfloor. Due to the locking system, you can reference our blog post walking readers through a laminate click-lock installation,
