1867 Floors Evolution Magma XL Wide Vinyl Plank
A narrow plank chops a floor into busy lines; a wider plank lets a room read as open and calm. The 1867 Floors Evolution Magma XL collection is built around an extra-wide plank for exactly that reason. It is a rigid-core luxury vinyl plank that clicks together as a floating floor, with a 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer and a wide format that shows more of the wood pattern across each board. Explore the full wide-plank luxury vinyl range to compare formats.
In simple terms: Magma XL pairs an open, wide-plank look with a hard-wearing rigid-core build. See the full range in person at our Mississauga and Barrie showrooms, or search wide plank vinyl flooring near me to start your project.
Why the extra-wide plank format matters
The defining feature of 1867 Floors Magma XL is plank width. A wider plank means fewer seam lines across a room, which makes a space feel more open, and it shows more of the wood-look pattern on each board, closer to the proportions of wide-board hardwood. One practical point: wider planks bridge more distance than narrow ones, so they are less forgiving of an uneven subfloor. A flat, well-prepared subfloor matters more with an extra-wide plank.
Decision line: choose Magma XL when you want an open, wide-plank look and can give the subfloor proper preparation.
How Magma XL installs
Magma XL is a rigid-core luxury vinyl plank that installs as a floating floor. The planks click together edge to edge and rest over the subfloor with no glue or nails, which makes for a faster, cleaner install handled by our in-house vinyl installation team. A rigid core bridges minor subfloor imperfections better than a thin flexible plank, though as with any floating floor the subfloor should be clean, dry, and flat before installation.
What the 20 mil wear layer tells you
The wear layer is the clear coating that absorbs surface abrasion, and it is the most important durability figure on any vinyl plank. Magma XL carries a 20 mil wear layer, a genuinely commercial-grade thickness well above the 12 mil layers common on residential-focused vinyl. That makes it well suited to high-traffic spaces, including open-plan main floors and condos.
