Definition of Waterproof

- Water resistant: Flooring can resist penetration of water to a certain degree. It's typically coated to make it resistant to water damage caused by splashes and accidental spillage.
- Water repellent: Flooring is not easily penetrated by water. Water-repellent coatings makes it possible for your flooring to survive a flood.
