NAF Flooring Waterproof Plus 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: NAF Flooring Waterproof Plus is a 12mm AC5 rated water-resistant laminate. It is meant for the rooms where water is part of daily life, and our own crew installs it.

Here is what you are actually buying. Waterproof Plus 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.

That construction is what lets Waterproof Plus 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 Aerial, Astra, Aurora, Bianca, and Electra.

Decision line: Waterproof Plus 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.

Installation is in-house across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, with no subcontractors. A floating floor needs a flat, dry base, so subfloor prep and underlayment are where we spend the time. See the laminate installation page.
