Home's Pro Flooring Madrid Water-Resistant Laminate

In a busy kitchen or entry, the question is not whether water hits the floor but whether the floor can take it.

In simple terms: Home's Pro Flooring Madrid is a 12mm AC4 rated water-resistant laminate, a floor built to take water in the rooms where that matters. Squarefoot Flooring carries it, and our own crew installs it.

Madrid runs a 12mm board on the thicker end of the range, which gives a solid, quiet step and bridges minor subfloor irregularities better than thin planks. It carries an AC4 wear rating, a step above standard that holds up to busy family households, hallways, and main floors. The surface is embossed in register, so the texture lines up with the printed grain and the floor reads and feels like real wood rather than a flat photo. It installs with a glue-free floating click installation that keeps labour costs down and lets the floor be lifted and reused later. It is rated for 72 hours of surface water protection, which in practice means a spill, a melting ice cube, or a wet boot will not swell the seams as long as it is wiped up in good time. It is also scratch resistant, and stain resistant. It also carries an IIC sound rating of 61.0. It is backed by a 30-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty.

That construction is what lets Madrid go where ordinary laminate cannot: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries, and anywhere a spill or wet boot is part of daily life. The range includes tones such as Cusco, Beirut, Melfa, Wakita, and Rozel.

Decision line: choose Madrid for any room that meets water, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries; for dry bedrooms and living rooms, a standard laminate will also do the job for less.

We install Home's Pro Flooring Madrid with our own crew, never subcontracted, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. Most laminate problems trace back to the subfloor, so we level it, underlay it correctly, and finish the transitions. More on the laminate installation page.

Laminate looks very different in a full plank under room light than in a small photo, so it is worth seeing Madrid in person. We keep it at both stores; contact us to confirm stock, or browse the full water-resistant laminate range.
