- Is SolidTech Plus plank waterproof?
- Yes. The rigid core is waterproof, which is why Mohawk lists kitchens and bathrooms. Standing water at seams and edges should still be wiped up.
- Can I install it over existing tile or vinyl?
- Usually yes, if the old floor is flat, sound and clean, and the new plank plus underlayment still clears doors and transitions. Check Mohawk's installation guide for height limits.
- Does it need underlayment?
- Many SolidTech Plus planks include an attached pad, so a separate underlayment is often unnecessary. Confirm the specific SKU, since some versions need a vapor barrier over concrete.
- How does it compare with laminate?
- Vinyl is fully waterproof and quieter underfoot; laminate is harder and often looks more like real wood but swells if water gets into its core.
- Can I use it in a bathroom with a shower?
- It handles splashes and damp floors, but keep it out of standing water and seal the perimeter. A shower curb or wet zone is better left to tile.
- How do I clean it?
- Damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid steam mops or abrasive pads. Sweep grit first, since grit is a common cause of scratches.
