    <a href="https://dev.godfreyhirst.com/au/features/waterproof-surface">Waterproof Surface</a>
</h3>
<p>
    A waterproof coating is applied during the manufacturing process to create a sealed, waterproof surface layer. This specialised coating forms a protective barrier over the product, preventing moisture from penetrating the surface and helping to guard against spills, stains and everyday water exposure.
</p>
<h3>
    <a href="https://dev.godfreyhirst.com/au/features/waterproof-core">Waterproof Core</a>
</h3>
<p>
    The waterproof core is engineered to be inherently waterproof, made from a dense, non-porous material that does not absorb moisture. This solid construction forms a reliable barrier against water, meaning spills and humidity won’t seep through or cause damage. Its built-in waterproof properties help ensure long-lasting performance and stability, even in moisture-prone areas.

Waterproof

<p>The wear layer is a clear coating that helps to maintain the original appearance of your floor, protecting against scratches and general wear and tear. It also makes your floor easier to clean and maintain.</p>

<p>The thickness of wear layers is measured in millimetres, and indicates the level of protection. A commercial grade 0.5mm wear layer can withstand extra heavy traffic perfect for all areas of a busy home and is also suitable for some commercial applications.</p>
