While most LVT is good at dealing with moisture, many brands are only considered water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, as they’re not entirely watertight. Our LVT flooring is specially engineered to resist water damage, but you should still mop up spills as soon as possible when they occur.

What are the benefits of waterproof LVT?

When it comes to luxury vinyl flooring, waterproof options are much better suited for use in high-moisture rooms such as bathrooms. They are also a useful addition to homes where spills and mess are common, such as if you have children or pets.

How long will water resistant LVT last?

With the right level of care and maintenance, your waterproof LVT flooring can typically last for 10 to 20 years before needing to be replaced. This lifespan can change depending on wear layer thickness and the amount of foot traffic, but LVT is generally considered a durable flooring material.

Cleaning and maintaining waterproof LVT

When caring for LVT flooring, regularly sweep away or vacuum any debris and dirt. Then, with a suitable cleaning solution and a damp mop, lightly clean your tiles. Avoid using excessive amounts of water or harsh chemicals. Read our ultimate LVT flooring guide for all the details on keeping your floors in top condition.
