    Waterproof laminate floorings core is high technology waterproof HDF, which can prevent water from entering inside, and there is waterproof coating on the 4-sides click parts each plank, the coating is also advanced technology coating, not regular wax. This kind waterproof laminate flooring will have no expanding or swelling in water for 500 hours.
     Vinyl plank flooring does not have this issue and doesnt expand if it gets wet.
