GoodFellow Flooring Arctik Vinyl Plank Flooring

If a room sees water, pets, or heavy traffic, vinyl tends to be the practical answer, as long as you read past the photo to the build.

In simple terms: GoodFellow Flooring Arctik is a wood-look vinyl plank that handles water, pets, and busy rooms without complaint. We carry it and install it in-house.

rigid-core stands for stone polymer composite, and that core is the point: it is hard, rigid, and stable, so the plank stays flat over uneven subfloors and ignores the temperature swings that move cheaper vinyl. It clicks together as a floating floor. It has a 12 mil wear layer, enough for normal household traffic in bedrooms, living rooms, and quieter spaces. It is 100% waterproof top to bottom, not merely water-resistant, so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and entries are all fair game. With an IIC rating around 70 and an STC around 69 and an attached acoustic pad, it meets the sound ratings most Toronto and Mississauga condo boards require, which is often the deciding factor in a high-rise. Planks run up to 6 inches wide and 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. A low-sheen matte finish keeps glare and footprints down. Painted micro-bevelled edges frame each plank and hide the seams. It is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a 30-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Flora, Alta, Bergen, Natural Oak, and Natural Maple.

Decision line: Arctik is the choice when you want a thin, rock-solid, fully waterproof floor that hides an imperfect subfloor and goes just about anywhere.

We install GoodFellow Flooring Arctik with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. It floats over most existing hard floors once the base is flat and dry. Read how we work on the vinyl installation page, or see our projects.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Arctik in person at either store. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range.
