While waterproof materials are entirely impervious to water in all its forms, water-resistant materials only give you a certain amount of time in which to clean up the moisture. Protection times vary, with some offering up to 72 hours before your floors begin to take on damage. When the utmost protection is required, it's always best to choose waterproof materials, especially in basements and laundry rooms.
