For resale in Stamford, the best flooring is usually the option that balances appearance, durability, and broad buyer appeal. Engineered hardwood is often a strong upgrade choice, while luxury vinyl plank works well when you want a more budget-friendly floor that still looks clean and modern.
The plank itself is 100% waterproof — water cannot damage the core or wear layer. However, standing water that sits in seams can eventually reach the subfloor, which is typically not waterproof. 'Waterproof floor' means the product, not the installation.
