Waterproof is a word that is often times used interchangeably with water-resistant. While the two terms are similar, their meanings are drastically different. Unlike other products that claim to be waterproof — and are actually water-resistant — Aquatec Flooring® truly is 100% waterproof from our bottom EVA Rubber Padding to our topmost UV Wear Layer, and every layer in between. Because our flooring is an SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) product, and is filled with stone dust as opposed to wood or bamboo, there is virtually no material that absorbs water.
