Waterproof Vinyl Click Flooring - vinyl flooring for bathrooms and more!

Is click vinyl waterproof? These floors are waterproof!

Vinyl flooring is now regularly found in bathrooms. The reason: vinyl is water-resistant, easy to clean, and thanks to foot warmth and elasticity properties it is much more pleasant to walk on than tiles. Thanks to its uncomplicated installation, click vinyl in particular enjoys great popularity among DIY enthusiasts.

But is all-click vinyl really waterproof? Basically, water or liquids, in general, cannot harm vinyl. As with many other floor coverings, the danger is much more than water getting in between the joints. In itself, vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) cannot become mouldy. However, if water runs between the joints and cannot drain off, the subfloor can become mouldy. In the worst case, individual product components can also swell on contact with water and thus damage the vinyl floor. If you are looking for click vinyl for bathrooms or rooms where more water contact is to be expected, you should therefore choose a product that has been designated by the manufacturer as "water-resistant" or also "suitable for humid rooms".

Waterproof vinyl flooring with click system: here's how to make the right choice!

Vinyl Click flooring with a waterproof product construction is no longer a rarity today and is now offered by renowned manufacturers in a large selection. It is important to look for features such as “wet room suitability", "swelling protection" or "water resistance", which identify your new click vinyl as waterproof. Often, adhesive vinyl is more recommended for installation in bathrooms, as bonding it to the subfloor minimises the risk of water penetration. But many floor manufacturers are responding to their customers' needs with waterproof vinyl click flooring, as it is the easier to install choice.

Thanks to its firm product structure, rigid vinyl with a click system, for example, is suitable for installation in damp rooms. Since no moisture-sensitive components are installed in this vinyl flooring, rigid vinyl click flooring is often well protected from water. If you want to install click vinyl over tiles, rigid vinyl or SPC vinyl is a good choice. Rigid click vinyl is characterised by a reinforced product structure. Moreover, the core board inside the floor cannot swell when it comes in contact with water. This is different from HDF vinyl, which should generally not be installed in bathrooms because of its water-sensitive wood fibre backing.

Rigid vinyl: the dimensionally stable vinyl floor with water resistance

Rigid vinyl flooring is usually labelled "suitable for damp rooms". The dimensionally stable vinyl floor is usually water-resistant click vinyl that is also much more resistant to temperature fluctuations and can bridge slight unevenness in the subfloor. For this reason, rigid vinyl is often recommended for installation over slightly uneven tiled floors in bathrooms. While the backing layer of HDF vinyl can swell on contact with moisture, rigid vinyl is protected from swelling thanks to a stone or lime powder layer.
