    Flooring Terms and Definitions

    Engineered Wood Floors: Engineered wood floors are made from a core of hardwood or plywood, topped with a layer of real hardwood veneer. This construction gives the appearance of solid wood while providing enhanced stability and resistance to temperature changes. Engineered wood floors also add a value to a home. 

    Laminate: Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product designed to mimic the appearance of wood, stone, or other natural materials. Laminate is made by gluing or fusing several layers together through a lamination process.

    Waterproof Vinyl: Waterproof vinyl flooring is designed to resist water, making it suitable for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. It has a durable, multi-layer construction with a waterproof core and protective wear layer, which makes it resistant to spills.

    SPC Floors: Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) floors are a type of rigid core vinyl flooring. They are made by combining limestone and stabilizers to create a highly durable, waterproof, and stable flooring option. SPC floors are resistant to dents, scratches, and moisture, making them perfect for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.

    Waterproof Flooring: Waterproof flooring is specifically designed to resist water penetration, which makes it perfect for areas that are more prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. It is usually constructed from materials like vinyl, laminate with a waterproof core, or ceramic tile. This type of flooring helps prevent water from seeping through to the subfloor, thus offering protection against damage and inhibiting mold growth.

    Tile Floors: Tile flooring is durable and long-lasting surface constructed from ceramic, porcelain, stone, or glass tiles. Tile is appreciated for its ability to resist water, low maintenance requirements, and wide range of styles and colors, which make it suitable for use in both residential and commercial settings.
