Can luxury vinyl get even better? Yes, especially if it comes with the new technologically advanced core, WPC (wood plastic composite). Your home will get an extra level of waterproof and moisture build-up protection.
Why is moisture such a huge deal?
Excess moisture can be created easily right within the home; you don’t need a rainstorm or humid weather for it to occur. Ever wonder why the windows fog up when it is cooler outside, but you’re cooking inside?
You’re also not safe if it comes from the outside, say, a clogged drain or rising damp (when moisture gets into your home’s foundation pores and creeps up).
One reason you don't want moisture is that it creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. It only takes 12 hours for it to start and, once it's there, it creates havoc. You can get respiratory problems such as coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes. You'll get a smell (even on your clothes) that you can't get rid of. Wood items can warp and even food can go stale sooner than later.
Third, you’ll get little moisture pockets in walls that will cause paint and wallpaper to peel and flake, rust will cause system break-downs and wood items can warp.
All the style and function and luxury of vinyl--with super waterproof capabilities
●Realistic look. Just like the first generation, you can have a very high-end look of wood, tile or stone. There's an assortment of species, such as domestics like oak, maple, and hickory.
Stone looks include marble, which is trending in bathrooms right now.
Tiles come in a wide array of colors, shapes, and sizes so you can mix and match to create your unique design. Texturing capabilities give it all a wire-brushed, hand-scraped, distressed appearance; no more flat images! It’s available in sheets or cut into planks or tiles.
●Ultra-durability. The WPC core not only makes it super waterproof but also a little thicker. The thick top clear plastic wear sheet protects against scratches, dents, and wears and works together with the core to keep it waterproof.
●Easy maintenance. Just sweep and mop.
●Simple installation. DIY-friendly, it can be placed over most existing floors, glued or clicked. It can be a good weekend project if you're so inclined.
