NAF Flooring Waterproof Water-Resistant Laminate

Near a kitchen sink or a back door in an Ontario home, the first thing a cheap floor does is swell at the seams.

In simple terms: NAF Flooring Waterproof is a 12mm AC5 rated water-resistant laminate, waterproof enough for kitchens, baths, and entries. We carry it and install it in-house.

That construction is what lets Waterproof 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 Harrison, Molson, Ontario, Sandy, and Superior.

The build behind that: Waterproof 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 AC5 wear rating, the level specified for light commercial use, so it shrugs off heavy household traffic, rentals, and high-use entries. The core is high-density fibreboard, which resists denting and holds the locking profile better than the cheaper particleboard in budget laminate. The surface is a low-sheen matte that hides dust and footprints better than a glossy finish. It installs with a click-lock system, a glue-free floating install that keeps labour costs down and lets the floor be lifted and reused later. It has a water-resistant core, which lets it handle the spills and humidity that would swell a standard laminate at the joints. It is backed by a 30-year residential and 5-year Light commercial warranty.

Decision line: Waterproof is the pick wherever water is a factor, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries; keep a standard laminate for the dry rooms to save.

Our crew installs NAF Flooring Waterproof from subfloor prep to final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. Get the base flat and the underlayment right and a click floor lasts; that is the focus of our laminate installation work.

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