At Murley's Floor Covering, where we've been Locally & Family Owned since 2005, we've witnessed remarkable advancements in the world of flooring. Among these innovations, waterproof flooring stands out as a true game-changer. In this blog, we'll dive deep into the world of modern waterproof flooring and explore how it has evolved since its inception.

The Birth of Waterproof Flooring


Waterproof flooring has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Originally developed as a solution for damp and moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens, it offered basic protection against spills and leaks. These early versions often lacked the aesthetics and durability that homeowners and businesses desired.

The Revolution in Materials


One of the most significant breakthroughs in waterproof flooring has been the development of new materials. Today, you can find waterproof flooring options that not only resist moisture but also offer an array of styles and textures that rival traditional flooring materials. Vinyl, laminate, and luxury vinyl planks (LVP) are just a few examples of these innovative materials.

Versatility and Style


One of the most impressive aspects of modern waterproof flooring is its versatility. Whether you're looking for the classic warmth of hardwood, the sleek elegance of tile, or the rustic charm of stone, there's a waterproof flooring option to suit your taste. These floors can mimic the look of natural materials while offering the added benefit of waterproofing.

Durability Redefined


Waterproof flooring
isn't just about resisting water; it's also about standing up to the wear and tear of everyday life. With improved wear layers and protective coatings, modern waterproof floors are exceptionally durable. They can withstand heavy foot traffic, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Easy Installation and Maintenance


Installing traditional flooring can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. However, modern waterproof flooring has simplified installation with click-and-lock systems, making it a more DIY-friendly option. Maintenance is a breeze too, as these floors are easy to clean and require minimal upkeep.

Eco-Friendly Options


As environmental consciousness grows, so does the demand for eco-friendly flooring options. Many modern waterproof flooring products are made from recyclable materials and are themselves recyclable. This sustainability factor has made them a preferred choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
