Stability
All floor systems, whether synthetic or wood, whether floating or bonded down, are vulnerable to moisture from below.
Moisture from above, on the other hand, has no affect on most synthetics but it is very detrimental to wood floors. Approximately 90 % of all wood floors that have to be repaired or completely renewed within the normal lifecycle-span are damaged by water. Wood and water simply don't mix. Wood floors will expand and contract with normal changes in relative humidity, synthetics just lay there. Wood floors can be severely damaged or completely destroyed by flood water: from roof leaks, water fountains, broken water lines, improper maintenance, or a number of other sources. Synthetics would not be affected. Further Pulastic offers a good resistance against heat and chemical spillage.
Although Pulastic sports flooring systems are seamless it is possible to do spot repairs on (mechanical) damaged area's.
