Water means life for a lot of people. But for houses, it is a disaster waiting to happen. Water spills, flooding, and leaks are nightmares for homeowners. The first casualties are your floors, especially if they are made of real wood or a dull cement surface. Add to that the daily grind of your footfalls, and you get tired. These are the reasons why waterproof flooring is a must for homeowners.
Stone polymer composite is a type of hybrid flooring that is an excellent floorboard choice. Aside from its resistance to liquid and moisture, a waterproof floor such as this has several benefits.
It is dirt-proof and stain-proof
Spills and unavoidable dirt are always bound to happen, especially if you live in a house full of humans and pets. Hardwood floors absorb the most damage. The waterproof flooring is resilient from stains and scratches from dust particles and other factors. Its density also protects your floor from mold and mildew, which affects not just the ground you walk on but also your health. It also has a hypoallergenic cork backing which does not collect dirt and has the ability to soundproof rooms.
It is durable
Stone polymer composite is a combination of natural limestone and virgin PVC, which can last for decades because it does not easily get soiled. It has a rigid core with durable and more stable planks. It is so strong that it repels high impact damage if something rather heavy accidentally falls on the floor. SPC-based flooring also does not contract or expand even under extreme temperature changes.
It is eco-friendly
Lessen your house’s carbon emissions by using eco-friendly flooring. Stone polymer composite does not use heavy metals and is formaldehyde-free.
It looks great
Do you prefer wood or stone for your floors but find them beyond your budget? Do you want an eye-catching design for your foyer? Stone polymer composite flooring is ideal with many colors to choose from, as well as a variety of styles to suit the overall theme of the whole house. It can mirror either wood or stone, and no one would know the difference unless you tell them.
It is low maintenance
Regular hardwood floors will need good sanding and repainting after a couple of years. Stone polymer composite flooring, however, only requires an occasional damp mop and a little arm effort to clean.
You can also vacuum it regularly if you wish. It will take a long time for a plank or tile to get damaged, but when that time comes, there is no need to tear it all down. All you have to do is remove the damaged part, purchase a compatible replacement plank, and put it in its rightful place.
It is easy to install
Stone polymer composite is as durable as it is easy to install. You can ask a company to place it for you, but if you are the handy DIY type, you can also opt to install it on your own.
Homeowners would always want to have a beautiful place to live in, and having grand floors is essential to accomplish that goal. Choosing a durable yet affordable flooring is a good investment for your home, and it will give a little boost to the value of your home.
