Finding a floor that looks amazing and resists water damage can be hard. Water-damaged floors are more than just unsightly – they’re also unsafe because of warping and instability. Hardwood is beautiful and durable. However, it doesn’t have waterproof capabilities. That’s where WPC (wood plastic composite) flooring comes to the rescue.
Here are three benefits of WPC flooring from MMY Flooring:
- Resists water and moisture damage
- Clean aesthetics
- Comfortable and easy to install

Affordable and Waterproof WPC Flooring at Our Showroom
Dealing with the repercussions of water damage can add up quickly. Neglecting your floors can lead to expensive repair and replacement costs. Not every floor is waterproof, especially wood flooring. That’s where WPC flooring can help. It imitates the appearance of more expensive materials, such as hardwood and stone, but without the high price tag and it even offers the extra advantage of water resistance. Our versatile collection works in various rooms, including basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Call us or visit our South El Monte showroom to learn more about our options.
What is WPC Flooring?
WPC (wood plastic composite) flooring is a versatile and innovative option that combines the best features of wood and plastic. It is constructed from a composite of wood fibers, wood flour, and thermoplastics, usually PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Here are five key benefits of WPC flooring.
- Waterproof and moisture-resistant
One of the key features of WPC flooring is its waterproof capability, which sets it apart from traditional wood flooring options. These floors resist moisture, making them a top choice for areas prone to water exposure. Whether installed in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or commercial spaces, WPC flooring won’t warp, swell, or suffer water-related damage. - Durability beyond compare
WPC flooring is durable. It boasts impressive resistance to moisture, wear, impacts, and scratches. This inherent toughness makes it ideal for high-traffic areas. Whether in a bustling family home, a busy commercial establishment, or anywhere in between, WPC flooring maintains its appearance and structural integrity over time.
- Realistic appearance and texture
Beyond its practical benefits, WPC flooring is known for its aesthetic appeal. These floors feature a high-resolution printed layer that resembles real wood. The textures and colors are remarkably true to nature, allowing homeowners and business owners to enjoy the warmth and beauty of wood without the maintenance requirements. The realistic appearance makes any space feel more inviting. - Comfort and easy installation
WPC flooring offers comfort, too. The composite construction of WPC, combined with an attached underlayment, provides a cushioned and comfortable surface to walk on. The added comfort also contributes to sound insulation, reducing the noise impact within the space. Moreover, these floors often have a user-friendly click-and-lock or tongue-and-groove installation system.
What Is the WPC Flooring Installation Process?
Installing WPC flooring is a simple process. Here is a brief overview of the steps required.
To install WPC flooring, start with a clean, level, and dry subfloor. Allow the flooring to acclimate for 48 hours. Optionally, install an underlayment for added cushioning. Plan the layout, begin in a corner, and interlock the tongue-and-groove planks. Cut as needed, install transition strips, and complete the installation, ensuring a secure fit.
Not all wood floors are comfortable and durable. WPC flooring has both of these great qualities. Our collection allows customers to choose from various colors and textures, and still have the security of water resistance.
