Why Waterproof Flooring is a Must-Have for Every Home

There’s a feature that should never be overlooked when seeking out new flooring—it’s waterproofness. Whether you have a busy household, pets, or simply want flooring that can withstand everyday life, waterproof flooring is an essential investment for every home. Here at Hewn, our flooring combines style with practicality, offering a 100% waterproof surface that protects your home without compromising on design.

Why is Waterproof Flooring Important?

Water damage can happen when you least expect it. From spilled drinks to an unexpected appliance leak, accidents are part of life. That’s where waterproof flooring comes in. It prevents moisture from seeping through to the subfloor, which can lead to mold, mildew, and even structural damage over time. Having waterproof flooring means less stress over mishaps, whether you're in the kitchen, bathroom, or mudroom.

With our flooring, you can trust that your floors are protected from everyday spills, pet accidents, and life’s unpredictable circumstances. Waterproof flooring offers peace of mind and ensures your flooring remains in top condition for years to come.

How is Stoneform® Flooring Waterproof?

Stoneform® is a proprietary technology that combines limestone and PVC with an acrylic wear layer to create a durable, water-resistant surface. The design is built to handle moisture without warping, swelling, or damage—making it perfect for high-traffic and high-moisture areas of your home. The technology behind Stoneform® is designed to repel water and block it from penetrating the core.

The Best Areas for Waterproof Flooring

Waterproof flooring isn’t just for the bathroom. There are several areas in your home where water-resistant floors are a smart choice:

Kitchens: With frequent spills and splashes, the kitchen is a prime spot for waterproof flooring. Stoneform® flooring offers the protection you need in one of the busiest areas of your home, all while maintaining the look of beautiful hardwood.

Bathrooms: Bathrooms are another essential area where waterproof floors are a must. With Stoneform®, you get a flooring that can handle moisture while giving your bathroom a modern, polished appearance.

Mudrooms/Laundry Rooms: These areas tend to see a lot of wet shoes, laundry mishaps, and general moisture. Having waterproof flooring in your mudroom or laundry room keeps water from soaking into your floors and causing long-term damage.

Basements: Waterproof flooring is especially important in basements where moisture can easily accumulate. Stoneform® flooring gives you a moisture-resistant, durable option that’s ideal for below-grade spaces.
