Singapore’s humid climate, frequent rainfall and busy household routines make waterproof flooring a practical choice for modern homes. This is especially important in kitchens, dining areas and service yards, where spills and moisture are common.
Popular waterproof flooring options include vinyl flooring, SPC flooring, tiles and High-End Resilient Flooring, also known as HERF®. Each option offers different benefits in terms of comfort, durability, maintenance and design.
Vinyl flooring is a popular choice for Singapore homes because it is comfortable underfoot, easy to maintain and available in many wood, stone and modern designs.
It can also be installed over suitable existing flooring, reducing the need for extensive hacking works.
SPC flooring features a rigid core that provides good dimensional stability and resistance to moisture. It is suitable for homeowners looking for a durable and practical flooring solution.
However, the quality of the material, subfloor preparation and installation workmanship can affect its overall performance.
EVORICH HERF® is made from pure virgin vinyl and is designed to be 100% waterproof, termite-resistant and easy to clean.
Its click-lock installation system allows it to be overlaid on suitable existing tiles without hacking, making it ideal for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and other indoor areas.
Tiles are highly resistant to water and remain a traditional option for kitchens and bathrooms. However, tile surfaces may feel hard and cold, while grout lines can require regular cleaning.
Yes. Waterproof vinyl or HERF® flooring can be used in dry kitchen areas when installed correctly.
Homeowners should still clean spills promptly and avoid allowing water to remain underneath cabinets, appliances or flooring edges for extended periods. For areas exposed to constant water, such as shower zones, tiles or dedicated bathroom flooring systems may be more suitable.
Waterproof flooring provides several advantages:
Besides selecting the right material, professional installation is essential. Improper floor preparation, uneven surfaces or poor installation methods may affect the flooring’s appearance and long-term performance.
