Grandeur Flooring Continental Vinyl Plank Flooring

Vinyl has quietly become the floor of choice for kitchens, basements, and busy households, and for one simple reason: water does not bother it.

In simple terms: Grandeur Flooring Continental is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. It is rigid-core, Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

The build and the spec: 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. The 20 mil wear layer puts it in heavy-residential, light-commercial territory, which is where vinyl earns its keep in a family home. With vinyl, the mil rating tells you more about longevity than the overall thickness does. 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 72 and an STC around 70 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 7 inches wide and 60 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. It is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and GREENGUARD certified. Colours in the range include Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

We install Grandeur Flooring Continental 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.

Decision line: reach for Continental where stability and waterproofing lead the list: basements, kitchens, condos, and over concrete.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Continental in person at either store.
