FAQ: Are interlocking tiles waterproof?

Interlocking tiles are not waterproof per se. The tiles lock together tightly, preventing moisture from the subfloor from seeping through the seams. As they do not require adhesive, which emulsifies from contact with water, interlocking floors can be installed over subfloors with vapor emissions with no vapor protection.
