Inquiry

Is water-resistant flooring within 3 feet of exterior doors still required if a 6-foot overhang exists over the entry door?

Ruling

Yes. The intent of this prerequisite is to reduce the use of materials that will absorb moisture and facilitate mold growth. Having an overhang does nothing to address moisture coming into the home from shoes, raingear, etc.
