What are Water-Resistant Floors & Walls?
Water-resistant floors and walls are able to resist the penetration of water to some degree. Water-resistant floors and walls have properties that protect against water, but these floors are not waterproof, which is impervious to water. There are industry standards related to each. Water-resistant floors and walls will likely survive an encounter with water, but it will depend on the amount of water and how often the contact occurs.

There are several benefits to water-resistant floors.
