Wheelchair-Friendly Flooring Installation with Water-Resistant Laminate


When it comes to choosing flooring for a home with unique needs, durability and comfort both play a critical role. We recently worked with a family whose son uses a wheelchair and lives and works from a specific area of their home. Their original glue-down LVP flooring had failed due to moisture issues and incorrect adhesive, leaving them in need of a stronger, more reliable solution.

The advantages of water-resistant laminate

After assessing their lifestyle, we knew the replacement flooring needed to handle heavy rolling from a wheelchair as well as the daily activity of a service animal. At the same time, the homeowners wanted to avoid an overly “commercial” look and still maintain a warm, inviting atmosphere. After collaborating with multiple manufacturers and sales representatives, we identified a water-resistant laminate that offered the right balance of strength, performance, and comfort. The result is a flooring solution that not only withstands the demands of daily use but also creates a welcoming space their family can enjoy for years to come.

Choosing flooring materials that match the environment


One of the biggest lessons from this project is the importance of choosing flooring materials that match the environment and daily use of a space. Moisture issues and improper adhesive can quickly compromise glue-down flooring, especially in high-traffic or mobility-focused areas. By carefully assessing both the causes of the original failure and the specific needs of the family, we were able to recommend a solution that prioritizes longevity and performance.

This installation also highlights the growing demand for flooring that supports accessibility while still delivering style.


Homes with wheelchairs, service animals, and high activity levels need flooring that resists wear without sacrificing comfort. Water-resistant laminate offers the best of both worlds—durable enough to handle everyday challenges while creating a warm, inviting space that truly feels like home.
