XL Flooring Legacy Vinyl Plank Flooring

The vinyl aisle is full of look-alikes at very different prices, and the difference usually comes down to two specs most shoppers never check.

In simple terms: XL Flooring Legacy gives you the look of real wood in a waterproof, hard-wearing vinyl floor. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it and installs it with our own team.

Decision line: choose XL Legacy for large open areas, commercial spaces, or anywhere a dead-flat, no-bounce floor matters, and budget for proper subfloor prep.

The detail behind that: This is a glue-down (dryback) vinyl, meaning each plank is adhered directly to the subfloor rather than floated. That makes it rock-solid underfoot with no movement or hollow sound, ideal for big open areas and commercial rooms, and a single plank can be replaced without disturbing the rest. A flat, dry subfloor is essential. It has a 20 mil wear layer, the sweet spot for busy homes and light commercial rooms, well above the builder-grade 6 to 12 mil you find in big-box vinyl. On vinyl, that mil number is the best single predictor of how long the floor keeps looking new, more than thickness or price. It is 100% waterproof top to bottom, not merely water-resistant, so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and entries are all fair game. Planks run up to 7 inches wide and 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. It is also FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. Colours in the range include Ambrosia, Cameo, Gladstone, Misty Grey, and Opal.

Our own crew installs XL Flooring Legacy across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. Glue-down vinyl rewards a flat, dry subfloor, so prep is where we spend the time, then finish the trim and transitions. See our vinyl installation page.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing XL Legacy in person at either showroom. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range. The is flooring waterproof guide breaks down how waterproof vinyl compares.
