I will NEVER AGAIN use hardwood flooring in my home and here’s why! 

We just endured Tropical Storm Arthur on the #GulfCoast and it left many with damage and flooding. Our sunroom took in some of the floodwaters and thankfully we were spared heavy damage because I swear by waterproof vinyl flooring! 

Our floors and rugs were soaked, but no buckling (which would have been eminent had the flooring been 100% hardwood!) 

I’m thankful we didn’t endure worse and this is evidence of why we SWEAR BY our wood-look vinyl! 

Im a vinyl flooring girly because in our previous, customer built home, we had hardwood throughout and two separate incidences with a washing machine leak and heavy rain left us with buckled floors and a whole mess  of getting entire rooms replaced! I said never again to the hardwood. It’s beautiful, but it can be a pain to keep dry at all times, especially living in #coastalMS. 

What type of flooring do you guys have in your home? Do you swear by vinyl flooring options? 

Have you ever had a flood or this type of incident in your home which caused damages?
