Materials that hold up well
SPC and rigid vinyl flooring resist splashes and short periods of standing water far better than laminate or wood, making them the safer choice for wet areas.
Materials to avoid or use with caution
Standard laminate and solid wood are more vulnerable, especially at joints, and are generally not recommended near sinks, showers or dishwashers.
Reinforcing critical points
Sealing the perimeter near appliances, sinks and shower areas with an appropriate sealant reduces the risk of water reaching the subfloor through the joints.
