Waterproof Composite Flooring

Waterproof Composite Flooring, often called laminate flooring， features a solid polymer core topped with a decorative, waterproof wear layer. This construction provides exceptional moisture resistance, making it ideal for kitchens. The Best Waterproof Composite Flooring offers superior dent resistance, stability, and realistic visuals. While Waterproof Composite Wood Flooring mimics hardwood aesthetics perfectly, it withstands water where real wood fails. Similarly, Waterproof Composite Laminate Flooring provides the look of laminate but with core waterproofing, unlike traditional laminate. All types feature easy click-lock installation for durability and worry-free performance in any room.

  - Product structure -  

Waterproof composite flooring is a next-generation engineered surface designed to withstand moisture, heavy traffic, and temperature variations. It merges aesthetic appeal, technical performance, and long-term stability, making it ideal for both residential and commercial environments. Manufactured under ISO 9001 and EN 16511 standards, this flooring type offers structural integrity, dimensional stability, and superior waterproof protection.

Technical Composition

1. Wear Layer:
A transparent PVC or UV-cured polyurethane layer (0.3–0.7 mm thick) ensures abrasion resistance (AC4–AC5) and stain protection.

2. Decorative Film:
Digitally printed high-definition wood, stone, or tile patterns for realistic visual texture.

3. Core Layer:
Rigid composite made from SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) or WPC (Wood Plastic Composite), providing exceptional waterproof performance and dimensional stability.

• Density: 1800–2100 kg/m³ (SPC)

• Dimensional Change: ≤0.05% under EN 434

4. Backing Layer:
Acoustic foam or IXPE underlayment for sound absorption (≤20 dB) and moisture protection.

Engineering Performance

• Waterproof Rating: 100% waterproof under 72-hour submersion test (EN ISO 4760)

• Thermal Stability: No warping at 80°C for 6 hours

• Fire Rating: Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1)

• Impact Resistance: IC2

• Slip Resistance: R10–R11 (DIN 51130)

These figures ensure that waterproof composite flooring meets both engineering and safety requirements for modern interiors.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation:

• Click-lock or interlocking edge design (Valinge/Uniclic system)

• Subfloor tolerance ≤2 mm over 2 m

• Expansion gap: 8–10 mm around perimeter

• Suitable for installation over underfloor heating (≤27°C)

Maintenance:

• Use neutral pH cleaner; avoid wax or solvent-based products

• Sweep regularly to prevent grit damage

• Maintain indoor humidity between 40–60%

Applications

• Residential: Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, living areas

• Commercial: Offices, retail stores, hospitality venues

• Institutional: Schools, clinics, laboratories

Its waterproof composition allows installation in areas traditionally unsuitable for wood-based flooring, combining visual warmth with technical durability.

Regulations and Compliance

Waterproof composite flooring complies with:

• EN 14041: Health and safety standards for resilient flooring

• REACH & RoHS: Non-toxic materials, free from heavy metals and formaldehyde

• ISO 10582: Dimensional stability and curling resistance
