Why Waterproof Flooring Matters

Water can be incredibly damaging to certain types of flooring, causing warping, mould growth, and long-term structural issues. Choosing waterproof or highly water-resistant flooring is essential for protecting your home, especially in high-moisture zones. At HQ Carpets and Flooring, we offer a wide range of durable, stylish options designed to handle these conditions without sacrificing visual appeal.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT): A Top Contender for Style and Durability

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is one of the most popular choices for waterproof flooring in modern homes. Designed to mimic the look of natural materials like hardwood or stone, LVT combines aesthetics with functionality. It features a multi-layered construction that includes a waterproof core and a wear-resistant surface, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms.

One of the greatest benefits of LVT is its low-maintenance nature, spills can be wiped up with ease, and it resists staining and moisture infiltration. At HQ Carpets and Flooring, we offer a stunning selection of Luxury Vinyl Tile styles, including wood and stone finishes, that offer long-lasting performance in any wet area.

Vinyl Flooring: Affordable and Reliable

Vinyl is another excellent waterproof flooring solution. Available in sheet, plank, or tile format, vinyl flooring is cost-effective, easy to install, and comes in a wide array of styles and colours. Sheet vinyl, in particular, offers a seamless surface with minimal joins, reducing the risk of water seeping underneath.

For families or households with pets, vinyl offers both practicality and comfort. It’s softer underfoot than tile or stone and provides a warm, cushioned surface that’s easy to clean and maintain. Our team at HQ Carpets and Flooring can help you choose the right vinyl type for your space and professionally install it to ensure a watertight seal.

Laminate Flooring: Choose Water-Resistant Designs Carefully

Traditional laminate isn’t usually recommended for wet areas due to its fibreboard core, which can swell when exposed to moisture. However, recent innovations have brought waterproof and water-resistant laminate flooring to the market, providing homeowners with another stylish and durable option.

At HQ Carpets and Flooring, we offer advanced laminate products with sealed edges and moisture-resistant cores, designed specifically for areas prone to splashes and humidity. If you're set on a wood-look finish but need something that performs in a kitchen or hallway, ask our experts about waterproof laminate options that are both functional and beautiful.

Herringbone Flooring in Waterproof Materials

Want to make a bold design statement while keeping your floors protected from moisture? Herringbone flooring in waterproof vinyl or LVT formats is the answer. The classic zig-zag pattern of herringbone creates a sense of depth and elegance, making small rooms appear more spacious and refined.

With the waterproof durability of LVT or vinyl, herringbone can now be installed in bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens without the worry of water damage. At HQ Carpets and Flooring, we provide bespoke fitting services to ensure each plank is perfectly placed for a seamless finish.
