AquaProof Laminate Floors
Luxury Meets Practical Performance

Meticulously Engineered for Coastal Living

AquaProof laminate combines the timeless warmth of real wood visuals with 100% waterproof technology. With an ultra‑dense BlackCore, nano-ceramic NanoTek finish, and premium underlayment, this innovative flooring delivers exceptional durability, sleek aesthetics, and enhanced comfort underfoot.

 

What Makes AquaProof Stand Out

AquaProof features a layered build that includes:

• Black Waterproof Core that resists mold, bacteria, and swelling

• NanoTek™ Finish with an AC4-rated wear layer for scratch and stain resistance

• Embossed‑in‑Register (EIR) Texture for lifelike wood grain

• Integrated 2 mm Foam Underlayment that provides warmth, sound absorption, and comfort

• Uniclic Locking System for easy, reliable installation

 

Certified FloorScore with no PVC or phthalates, AquaProof offers a healthier indoor environment, backed by a lifetime residential warranty and 20‑year light commercial warranty

 

Popular Uses for Laminate Flooring from AquaProof

AquaProof laminate is ideal in these areas:
✅ Living Rooms, Bedrooms & Dining Areas – Real wood elegance with scratch resistance
✅ Kitchens – Waterproof protection plus easy cleanup
✅ Bathrooms (like powder rooms) – Highly moisture-resistant (avoid shower stalls)
✅ Basements & Below-Grade Spaces – Recommended with proper moisture barrier
✅ Home Offices & Entryways – Supports high foot traffic and pets with style

 

Benefits of AquaProof Laminate

✅ Near Zero Swell Rate (~2.5%) – Exceptional dimensional stability
✅ Strong, Scratch-Resistant Surface – Perfect for pets and heavy use
✅ Warm and Quieter Underfoot – Thanks to the 2 mm attached pad
✅ Easy to Install – Floating system with superior locking tech
✅ Stylish & Eco‑Friendly – Realistic visuals, no PVC, low VOCs
✅ Warranty‑Backed Performance – Long-lasting coverage for homeowners

 

Things to Consider

⚠️ Feel & Resilience – Can feel slightly flexible if subfloor isn't perfectly level
⚠️ Joint Durability – The locking edges can break if mishandled during installation
⚠️ Not Fully Waterproof – While resistive, extreme standing water may still cause issues
⚠️ DIY Care Needed – Proper acclimation, underlayment, and sealing are crucial for warranty and longevity

 

Where Laminate Generally Isn’t Recommended

⚠️ Patios or Open Outdoor Decks – Not engineered for full weather exposure
⚠️ Wet Garages or Utility Rooms – Moisture-prone spaces still favor tile
