Waterproof Flooring
Waterproof flooringfor active homes.
Explore InStride Surfaces waterproof laminate and water-resistant SPC flooring options designed to help homeowners, dealers, and search-driven customers understand the right flooring path for spills, pets, daily traffic, and busy spaces.
What is waterproof flooring?
Waterproof flooring is flooring designed to resist water damage when exposed to everyday spills, moisture, and household accidents. At InStride, NexGen is the product line positioned as waterproof laminate. ProStride, SureStride, and EverStride are SPC collections that are water resistant and built to handle common spills and moisture exposure when installed and maintained according to InStride guidance.
Clear language matters.
Not every floor that handles water should be described the same way. NexGen is InStride’s waterproof laminate collection. InStride’s SPC collections are water resistant and offer strong day-to-day protection for spills, pets, and active households. This distinction helps dealers set the right expectation and helps customers choose with confidence.
Floors need to handle the moments that happen every day.
Water performance matters because homes are active. Spills happen. Pets track in moisture. Kitchens, entryways, laundry areas, and family spaces need floors that are easier to live with and easier to explain at the showroom level.
Spills
Water-focused flooring helps customers feel more confident in kitchens, dining areas, and busy living spaces.
Pets
Pet-friendly floors should be ready for paws, bowls, tracked-in moisture, and the small surprises that come with furry family members.
Daily Traffic
High-traffic areas need floors that support daily use without turning every spill into a stressful moment.
Dealer Conversations
Clear water-performance language helps dealers explain the difference between waterproof laminate and water-resistant SPC.
