Hardwood and vinyl are often regarded as the most durable types of flooring. They are resistant to scratches, moisture and heavy foot traffic, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

Regular sweeping or vacuuming, promptly cleaning spills and using protective pads under furniture can help maintain hardwood floors. Periodic refinishing may also be required to keep them looking their best.

Water-resistant and waterproof flooring are often confused, but there’s an important distinction between the two. Water-resistant flooring can withstand moisture to a certain extent, but it's not entirely impervious. This means if spills are left unattended or water seeps into the seams, the flooring could eventually suffer damage. Laminate and engineered wood are typically water-resistant, meaning they can handle spills but should be dried promptly.

Waterproof flooring, on the other hand, is designed to handle complete water exposure without damage. This includes materials like vinyl, tile and certain types of hybrid flooring. Waterproof flooring is ideal for areas like bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms where moisture levels are higher, ensuring that the flooring remains intact even in the face of standing water.
