Is Solid Wood Flooring Waterproof?

No, solid wood flooring is not waterproof. As a long-time flooring tradesman and homeowner, I understand the importance of safety, quality, and efficiency when it comes to flooring. Wood is a natural product and can be adversely affected by moisture and humidity, so it’s important to take precautions to protect it from water damage. 

My wife Felicity and I have two sons, Gus (aged 9) and Frank (aged 18) and a gorgeous dog called Blue. We enjoy watching sports on TV, and keeping our solid wood flooring safe and sound is a priority for us. We’ve been in the flooring trade for over 20 years, so I know how important it is to take care of our floors.

To protect your solid wood flooring from water damage, it’s important to take precautions, such as using area rugs and mats in wet areas, and ensuring that spills are cleaned up quickly. Additionally, it’s important to regularly clean and wax your solid wood flooring to help protect it from water damage. A few simple steps can help to keep your floor looking as good as new, even after years of use.
