What is waterproof
hardwood flooring?
Waterproof hardwood flooring is natural hardwood, pine, or
bamboo that has been enhanced by technology to make it
impervious to liquid. The tech varies according to the
manufacturer. For example, Shaw makes a product comprising a
layer of real wood on top of a core of stone polymer
composite (SPC).
All producers do add one common element, though -- a highly
protective finish to guard against both water infiltration
and everyday wear and tear, such as scratching and scuffing.
