While vinyl and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) flooring are popular choices for modern homes, they may not be the best fit for old houses and HDB flats in Singapore. These materials can struggle with the unique challenges of ageing buildings—uneven subfloors, residual moisture from older concrete, and the high humidity levels common in tropical climates. Over time, this can lead to edge lifting, expansion gaps, and moisture-related issues that compromise both appearance and durability.
Carbon-Mag Board flooring is a next-generation waterproof board solution developed for humid and high-use environments. Unlike traditional vinyl or WPC flooring, Carbon-Mag boards are non-wood-based and do not rely on surface coatings alone to resist water. This makes them more stable in ageing homes, kitchens, and HDB flats where moisture may exist beneath the subfloor.
For old house renovation projects in Singapore, Carbon-Mag Board flooring offers improved resistance to swelling, joint expansion, and long-term deformation. Its structural stability and moisture tolerance make it a practical alternative to vinyl and WPC flooring, especially in areas with frequent wet cleaning and high humidity.
A new generation of waterproof flooring has been developed specifically to address the challenges of old houses and HDB renovations in Singapore. These advanced flooring systems feature a rigid, dimensionally stable core that resists moisture penetration from all directions—including from below, which is critical for older buildings with imperfect subfloors.
Unlike traditional vinyl or WPC, next-generation waterproof boards maintain their structural integrity even in high-humidity environments, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and homes near coastal areas. The result is a flooring solution that combines the aesthetic appeal of natural wood with superior performance and longevity.
