Aqua Step: The Pet-Friendly Flooring Choice

Limit The Wear and Tear on Your Home With Aqua Step

We all love our furry companions, but they sure can create a mess. Whether you have a puppy who hasn’t quite yet learned how to use the bathroom outside, a grown dog who just loves playing in the mud then tracking it inside, or a cat who hasn’t quite yet mastered drying off her paws before trekking through the kitchen, Aqua Step can help you better contend with their mess.

The Financial Impact of Pet Ownership

Aqua Step is 100% waterproof, but it’s also built to be durable. Pets can contribute to the wear and tear on your home, and they do spend a lot of time tromping around your floors. Dogs, in particular, can have a financial impact on your home, especially if you don’t have materials that can stand up to their activity. In this article from money.com, they discuss how dog ownership alone can drop the appraisal of a home’s value by as much as 5%. Then consider how much it can cost to replace carpeting if a dog repeatedly has accidents on it – that’s an investment you don’t want to have to make over and over again.

With Aqua Step, you don’t have to panic every time your pet has an accident in the house. Sure, it’s still not pleasant, but it’s a lot easier to clean up than carpet is. And, unlike other flooring products, you don’t have to use special cleaners on it. You can use just soap and water – saving you money on special cleaning products, as well.

One of the worst parts of pet accidents can be how it permeates beneath the flooring surface. This can be smelly and it can be expensive when it comes time to deal with it and any associated problems the moisture may have caused. Aqua Step, however, is designed with a rubber gasket that prevents this kind of seepage. As a result, your pet’s mess stays on the surface – where it might not look or smell too pleasant, but at least you know when you clean it up you’ve got it all, and it won’t become a long-term issue.

How Aqua Step Stands Up To Other Pet Damage

While being 100% waterproof is the keystone of Aqua Step’s design, it has other qualities that make it an attractive choice for homes where pets are part of the family.

With Aqua Step, you don’t have to grimace every time you hear the clack-clack of your dog’s claws on the floor. Aqua Step has a high level of scratch-resistance, and it can stand up to the most active dogs and cats.

The core of Aqua Step is made with a high-quality synthetic resin and is designed to withstand heavy loads. As a result, even the biggest dogs are no match for Aqua Step’s strength. So let your St. Bernard run free across your newly installed Aqua Step floor – he’ll have fun, and you can breathe a little easier while you watch him romp around.

And all that romping? Aqua Step’s design also helps with sound absorption. Fluffy’s playtime won’t be quite so audible to people on the floors below.

If your household has pets and is in need of flooring that can stand up to their wear and tear, get in touch with Aqua Step today. Our 100% waterproof flooring may be just the solution you need.

Which Waterproof Flooring Style Is Right For Me?

Which Waterproof Flooring Option Is Right For Me?

As you begin researching waterproof flooring, you might be surprised by the number of options out there. While you look at the options, you need to carefully consider what flooring option is right for you and why. All waterproof flooring products on the market have different qualities and attributes, making some a better fit for your needs than others.

Let’s take a look at some of the attributes of Aqua Step waterproof flooring so you can decide if it is right for you.

Will Your Flooring Be Exposed To The Sun?

Much waterproof flooring is designed for moisture-heavy areas like the basement, so they aren’t equipped with protection from UV rays, requiring installation in dark areas of the home or requiring that you keep blinds drawn during the day to protect the flooring from sun damage.

Aqua Step, however, has a UV protectant which means it’s okay to install anywhere in your home – even in brightly lit areas where you like to have the sun shining in all day long. If you’re looking for waterproof flooring that will work well in a bright kitchen, a basement that actually does get a lot of light, or even a covered sun porch, Aqua Step could be the choice for you.

Now that you know you don’t have to worry about sun damage, do you want waterproof flooring throughout your entire house without transitions? Aqua Step doesn’t require transitions every so many feet like other waterproof flooring options, providing a clean look throughout the house.

Is Your Flooring Being Installed In An Area That Already Has Moisture Issues?

One of the reasons people start looking for waterproof flooring is that they have to replace old flooring because of moisture or water damage. If this is the case, especially in a basement, some waterproof flooring will require that you test for moisture before installing. Even if you haven’t already had water damage, many waterproof flooring products will advise that you test for moisture beforehand and even add a moisture barrier.

The premium design of Aqua Step waterproof flooring means you do not have to take these extra steps before installation. If moisture is already a problem, and you are looking for waterproof flooring that saves you time while providing you the highest quality and protection from water damage, Aqua Step could be the choice for you. With these benefits saving you time and material you don’t have to pile on additional costs to your project.

Do You Need Heating Installed Under Your Waterproof Flooring?

This is no problem for Aqua Step! While many waterproof flooring products cannot have radiant heating installed underneath them, Aqua Step can. This means you can install Aqua Step wherever you need to in your house or business without having to worry about your heating system.

How Do You Clean Your Floors?

Cleaning a floor can be a tedious chore under the best of circumstances. If you have to change the cleaning products you use, or search out new ones just to use on your waterproof floor, then the chore becomes even more of a hassle.

With Aqua Step, you can use any cleaning agent, even bleach. Many flooring product manufacturers advise against the use of any chemical on their products, so if you prefer to stick with the cleaning method that works best for you, Aqua Step waterproof flooring may be the best choice for you.

Being a waterproof floor, this also means Aqua Step is a great choice for pet owners. Though we love them, animals come with their fair share of messes and a waterproof floor has the advantage of being resilient to unwanted liquids, shedding and dirty paw prints. With Aqua Step, cleaning is easy and affordable regardless of the mess.

So What Is The Right Option For Me?

As you’re doing your research, you might notice that Aqua Step waterproof flooring comes at a bit of a higher price point than others on the market. Well, that’s for a reason – we offer a premium product that provides you and your property with superior protection and features that give you plenty of flexibility when it comes to meeting your flooring needs.

Unique Qualities: Durability

Aqua Step: Designed For Durability

If the floor of your business is going to be put to the test with an even heavy load, plenty of foot traffic or the potential for water leaks, you might be worried that you’re stuck with ugly options like concrete, or just have to deal with replacing your flooring often.

Here’s the bad news: with most flooring, that’s probably true.

Here’s the good news: with Aqua Step 100% waterproof flooring, you get a durable surface that also comes in attractive designs suitable for your customer-facing business.

Why Is Aqua Step So Durable?

The key to Aqua Step’s durability is its top layer, which is made out of titanium resin. Within the flooring, the core is a high-quality synthetic resin in combination with a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure is unique – no other waterproof laminates on the market have such a structure within. This design quality also allows for improved sound absorption and the flow of floor heating.

Our hollow floor structure combined with the honeycomb core and topped with a titanium resin is a completely new design that provides your floor with the strength it needs, while also giving you peace of mind about water spills, sound absorption, heating options and overall durability.

Salons or restaurants where floors are constantly taking a beating from foot traffic as well as spills – food, water, hair dyes – need flooring that looks good but can stand up to this daily wear and tear. Due to this hardy resin, Aqua Step can handle a wide variety of scuffs, scratches and heavy, even loads.

Don’t settle for flooring that will fail your home or business. With Aqua Step 100% waterproof flooring, you can have the look you want with the strength and durability you need!

Unique Qualities: 100% Waterproof

We need water to survive, but water can also be harmful – especially when it makes its way to somewhere it shouldn’t be, like inside a building. From rainy and snowy weather to accidents like leaking plumbing, it’s just a fact that water and moisture will end up inside your home or business at some point.

One of the best ways to protect against water damage is by using flooring that is actually 100% waterproof so that it can stand up to the threat of water throughout your property. From a home basement to the sales floor of your business, 100% waterproof flooring such as Aqua Step can protect your property while providing the aesthetic quality you need.

How Does Water Damage Property?

Water damage is no joke. It can happen quickly and very noticeably if your property is flooded, or slowly over time from moisture creeping in.

A flooded floor can happen anywhere at any time. Broken dishwashers, broken washing machines, burst pipes… or a flood can be the result of inclement weather! 100% waterproof flooring has the integrity to withstand water and help contain the damage from a flood or large spill – damage that could otherwise devastate the flooring and structure beneath it. The resulting moisture causes stained drywall, rotting wood, warped wallboards, mold growth and even creates a potential fire risk.

You would think a flood is the worst-case scenario – but it’s just as bad when it subtly damages your property over time. Moisture that slowly creeps in and wears down your property over the course of years can cause thousands of dollars in damage as easily as a massive rush of water from a broken pipe can. The only difference is it’s harder for you to spot it happening.

For example, even humid air can cause moisture buildup throughout your home. In a humid environment, the air is saturated with water and even properties that are kept sealed up tight can be susceptible to humid air leaks to get inside. Plus, if you live where there is high humidity you probably have an air conditioning system that may drip water and cause additional issues with moisture.

With 100% waterproof flooring, your property has a stronger barrier against moisture so dangerous mold doesn’t grow and destructive water spots aren’t wearing away at the internal structure of your home as it seeps down from the floor into the foundation or ceiling below.

On the flip side of humid environments are cooler climates where snow and ice cause problems with flooding and moisture. Snow and ice can pile up on roofs, creating ice dams that cause water to get inside your walls or just drip directly onto the floor. Basements can commonly flood as snow and ice melt in the spring, and it’s unavoidable to track snow and ice inside on your floors throughout those seasons. No matter the cause, water damage is a serious issue for property owners.

For home or business, main floor or basement, warm climate or cool climate, Aqua Step waterproof flooring is 100% waterproof – able to provide your property the protection it needs. With styles to match your home’s unique look or your business’s professional decor, you don’t have to sacrifice quality to ensure your property is looking its best. Keep your property attractive and protected with Aqua Step waterproof flooring.
