Vinyl is great for resisting moisture damage. It does not get damaged due to water exposure and prevents water from penetrating. For this reason, you can use luxury vinyl tile flooring under the sink to protect the cabinet against leaks.  

First, check all your pipes for leaks. Once you’ve confirmed that all pipes are working correctly, cut the luxury vinyl tile flooring into appropriate pieces, and glue them to the wood. You can lay it on the top, sides, and bottom for the best protection. You can do this for sinks in the kitchen and bathroom.  

Backsplash

Since vinyl resists water damage, it great for a backsplash. You can cover the area behind the kitchen and bathroom sinks and washers and dryers in the laundry areas. It creates a uniform water-resistant surface that’s also easy to clean and wipe after use.
