Wood floors are among the most attractive and classic floors there are. Their timeless style and neutral design can make any space an aesthetically pleasing one. One of the downfalls of wood floors is that they do not perform well in wet spaces or rooms subject to moisture. When wood is damp or frequently gets wet, it absorbs the moisture and can start to expand and warp. This can cause uneven surfaces and damage to the coating or finish.
If you like the idea of a wood floor, but don’t want to have to worry about water damage, you may consider a waterproof wood-look flooring solution. Greatmats offers a number of the best faux wood floors - from vinyl and PVC to laminate, mats, and tiles. Although many of these products are fake wood, they look amazing and provide a cozy feel at an affordable price and low maintenance construction.
Reversible Wood Grain Foam Tiles
If you are looking for a versatile waterproof wood-look flooring solution, the Reversible Wood Grain Foam Tile is an excellent product. These foam tiles work really well in virtually any space, as they are durable and waterproof.
These tiles are an economical alternative to a traditional wood floor, and they offer anti-fatigue and comfort components. They are each 2x2 feet and made from 14mm thick closed-cell EVA foam, which provides great insulation against cold, hard concrete subfloors.
They have a colored foam core that helps keep the floor looking nice longer and a scuff resistant thatch surface on the reverse side, so they can be flipped over and used that way.
Martial Arts Mats
A waterproof wood flooring alternative for a workout or exercise area is a Premium Martial Art Karate Mat. Available in wood grain and gray - as well as other neutral colors, these 1-inch mats are made of high-density EVA foam and provide plenty of padding without sacrificing stability.
These versatile mats prevent moisture absorption, odor, mold, and mildew, and their interlocking design allows for fast installation. They work well with bare feet or soft shoes, and they allow for fast and easy movements. They are durable, double-sided, and high performing while providing an insulative benefit.
Max Tile Raised Flooring
Max Tile raised flooring is among the best waterproof faux wood flooring solutions for damp areas like basements or bathrooms. These raised vinyl laminate tiles are not only moisture friendly, their raised design allows for airflow and quick-drying, which prevents mold, mildew, and odor.
They are super attractive, too, with their commercial grade vinyl surface that creates the look of a rich, hardwood floor - without the need to be resurfaced or the need for a sealant. These raised floor tiles combine quality and durability and provide a thermal buffer benefit due to the air pocket beneath the vinyl surface.
Basketball Court Tile Gym Floor Pro
One of the more luxurious waterproof wood flooring alternatives is the Basketball Court Tile Gym Floor Pro. This product is very attractive with a clear finish and durable wear layer, yet it’s available at a fraction of the cost of hardwood flooring.
With an interlocking modular base and heavy-duty surface, this product is a great mix of easy assembly and stellar final product. It can stand up to heavy furniture or exercise equipment as well as constant foot traffic, and because the surface is elevated, it provides a thermal break.
These floor tiles are available in a maple hardwood basketball court look, so they would look amazing in almost any room or space.
WoodFlex Maple Wood Grain Full Roll

Wood Grain Natural Vinyl Flooring Roll
