What the Hydrogen Numbers Mean

Hydrogen is sold by number: Hydrogen 5, 6, 7 and 8. The number is the thickness in millimetres, and the wear layer runs from 12 mil on Hydrogen 5 to 22 mil on Hydrogen 8.

In simple terms: Hydrogen 5 is the entry click plank, Hydrogen 6 adds a 20 mil wear layer and a tile option, Hydrogen 7 moves to a 9 inch plank on a Nimbus Core, and Hydrogen 8 is the longest and thickest plank in the line. Hydrogen 5 Pro is the glue down series.

If you want the heaviest wear layer and the longest plank, look at Hydrogen 8 first: 8.98 by 70.83 inch planks with a 22 mil wear layer, an infused pad and a 40 year residential warranty.

Hydrogen Colours by Series

Some colour names appear in more than one series, such as Chalk, Raw and Lily Canvas, so check the series and the size under each swatch. Tap a colour to see its own page, and see the planks in store before you decide.

How Much Hydrogen Do You Need?

Measure the room, then add 10% for cuts (15% if the room has lots of angles or closets). For a 400 sq ft room, that is 440 sq ft:

Hydrogen 5, at 26.43 sq ft per box: 17 boxes
Hydrogen 6 planks, at 23.64 sq ft per box: 19 boxes
Hydrogen 6 tiles, at 19.38 sq ft per box: 23 boxes
Hydrogen 7, at 22.44 sq ft per box: 20 boxes
Hydrogen 8, at 17.67 sq ft per box: 25 boxes
Hydrogen 5 Pro 3 mm planks, at 39.52 sq ft per box: 12 boxes

Hydrogen 8 packs fewer planks to the box, so it takes more boxes for the same room. Judge the price per square foot, and order everything at once so the boxes come from one production run.
