For the most realistic natural looks, the highest durability, top-notch stain and scratch resistance, and a 100% waterproof floor, WPC flooring is where it’s at.

You can use waterproof vinyl plank flooring and waterproof vinyl floor tiles just about anywhere. Here are some waterproof vinyl flooring ideas:

• WPC kitchen flooring
• WPC bathroom flooring
• WPC basement flooring
• WPC commercial flooring

Waterproof vinyl flooring comes in both tiles and planks in sizes mimicking the trends of natural wood and stone.

Something many homeowners forget to look at is the size of each plank. You may think this isn’t important because you’re going to purchase enough to cover your floor anyway. However, plank width (and length) is a huge factor in the overall appearance of your floor (and the entire room).

Wider, longer planks make your room look bigger and less busy. They are especially helpful in small spaces. The most common sizing for planks if 5”-8” wide with 5” and 7” planks being our most popular.

WPC vinyl floor tiles come in both square and rectangular shapes. Rectangular vinyl floor tiles typically come in wood looks, while square tiles often mimic natural stone and ceramic tile.

Larger WPC tiles make your room look bigger and less busy. They are especially helpful in small spaces. The most common sizes for luxury vinyl tiles are 12” x 24” in rectangular tiles and 18” x 18” in square tiles.

Finding the right floor is kinda like finding the right pair of running shoes. The most important part is how it will perform and hold up to the elements. Functionality is key.

But, really, you just want the pretty one. I know. This is every runner’s struggle. But it doesn’t have to be yours!

The great news is you can find waterproof vinyl flooring that meets all your criteria and still choose the look that’s right for you. There are so many gorgeous natural-looking options are every price point that you’re sure to find the perfect look. In the perfect color. At the perfect size.



Wood looks are most common in WPC vinyl planks. Although, previously, wood-look vinyl appeared cheap and dated, technological advancements have achieved looks that parallel real hardwood.

Waterproof vinyl flooring even has the feel of real hardwood, complete with the look of graining and knots that have been given an emboss following the pattern in the print.

It’s like having real waterproof wood flooring. Your guests will never know the difference!

Stone-look waterproof vinyl flooring will not have the cold, hard feel of natural stone or ceramic tile. Instead, you get vinyl’s comforting warmth and resiliency with the realistic, upscale look of natural stone.

Stone-look WPC flooring is shockingly realistic and looks stylish in any modern home. Homeowners typically choose vinyl over ceramic tile to get the aforementioned warmth and resiliency. Vinyl, like tile, is ultra-durable; however, vinyl is way more comfortable underfoot.

You can find waterproof vinyl flooring options mimicking all the hottest colors in natural stone and wood flooring colors, such as white marble, chalky slate, hickory or acacia wood, etc. Find trending gray looks or go with an airy blonde wood or white stone. You can even filter your search by color if shade is a determining factor.

*Tip: Lighter colors will make your room look bigger. Check out the marble stone blonde or wood looks.

There are two main factors that determine the quality of your vinyl: thickness and wear layer. It’s pretty simple, thick vinyl + thick wear layer = higher quality. Of course, this doesn’t mean you need 8mm vinyl flooring for every use – every situation is different and has different requirements.

Even the highest quality WPC vinyl floor needs protection. Think of the wear layer like your vinyl’s bodyguard. Do you want Screech from Saved by the Bell keeping you safe, or do you want The Rock?

A thinner wear layer means your floor is much more susceptible to scratching, scarring and damage. If it’s in a low-traffic area, you can get away with it, but on a floor that will be lived on, we don’t recommend skimping out on this piece of the puzzle.

Rigid core vinyl flooring is exactly what you’d expect: WPC vinyl flooring with a tough, sturdy, rigid core. The rigid core allows you to install your vinyl floor in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to.

You see, most subfloors are inherently uneven. It’s just not common to have a perfectly smooth subfloor hanging out waiting for you to come put your dream floor on top of it.

Most of the time you have an existing flooring. Or uneven concrete. Or a number of other bumps and hiccups causing your subfloor to be something other than the desired pancake flat surface most installation instructions call for.

This new rigid plank technology helps to eliminate ripples and waves that are often caused by uneven subfloors.

All our vinyl waterproof flooring options come in super DIY-friendly interlocking options. Interlocking vinyl floor tiles and planks are commonly referred to as a floating floor. You simply float them on top of your subfloor, interlock and enjoy.
