8mm Aquastop core provides enhanced protection against moisture and everyday spills, making it far more resilient than standard laminate.
Manufacturers website: Aquastop - Kronoswiss
Swiss Krono 8mm Aquastop is engineered to withstand topical moisture such as everyday household spills for at least 48 hours. Still, if detected promptly remove all liquid spills, including pet urine and never flood the floor with water. As with all wood based products, even Swiss Krono Aquastop with its increased moisture resistance will react to the moisture in the environment and as a result will expand or contract accordingly. Although it has been designed for improved performance against water/moisture ingress it is not waterproof and excessive wetting is to be avoided. Do not use Steam Mops.

To maximise the water resistant performance of AQUASTOP laminate the following installation method must be followed in any area that could be subject to moisture, such as bathrooms or laundry areas. You must seal the locking mechanisms at the junction where the click profiles join as you install the laminate flooring. You can buy a laminate floor sealant (Dunlop Click Seal) at most home improvement stores. In addition, a mould resistant waterproof silicon sealant should be used to completely fill all of the expansion joints around the perimeter of the wet area floor. This will prevent water moving from the floor surface to the underside of the planks which could cause the floor to fail. The wet area floor should not be joined to a floor surface in an adjoining room. The wet area should be terminated with a transition trim and sealed appropriately. These additional instructions only apply for wet area locations.
AQUASTOP laminate floors are very easy to care for without the need for specialised cleaning agents nor any subsequent treatment after installation. A vacuum cleaner or the occasional moist mop is perfectly adequate.
