Is it necessary to waterproof the kitchen?

The essence of waterproof treatment is to prevent water from infiltrating into the wall and ground, causing losses to related materials or equipment. However, judging from the use scene of the kitchen, the frequency of boiling water in the kitchen is very low, and it will splash on the ground when washing vegetables. Even if you don't mop the floor, it will naturally evaporate and dry. If the floor tile is porcelain, the water absorption rate is generally below 0.5%.
