Why Essential Stands Out

In a large open floor or a busy commercial room, a floating floor can feel and sound hollow, which is why the pros glue those floors down instead.

In simple terms: Grandeur Flooring Essential is a glue-down (dryback) vinyl plank, bonded straight to the subfloor for a dead-flat, no-bounce floor, and it is fully waterproof. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our crew installs it.

Unlike the click-together collections, Essential is a dryback plank adhered directly to the subfloor. 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. The wear layer is 20 mil, heavy-residential and light-commercial grade. Planks run up to 7 inches wide and 48 inches long, with micro-bevelled edges. It is FloorScore and GREENGUARD certified. Colours in the range include Touchstone, Algonquin, Sandbanks, Lake Simcoe, and Flagstone. Essential is also offered in a tile format alongside the planks.

It is 100% waterproof through the whole plank, so bathrooms, kitchens and below-grade rooms are all fair game.

Decision line: Essential is the pick when you want a flat, glued-down floor for a big or busy space, provided the subfloor is smooth and level.

Installation is in-house and never subcontracted, across the GTA, Barrie and Simcoe County. Glue-down lives or dies on subfloor prep, so we flatten and set it properly, then handle the trim. See our projects or the vinyl installation page.

A sample chip never shows how Essential reads across a whole room. See it at either store, contact us about availability, and compare materials on the vinyl vs laminate guide. For the full range, see the Grandeur Flooring page.

Still Have Questions?

Quick answers about this collection before you buy.

What is Grandeur Flooring Essential?
Grandeur Flooring Essential is a glue-down luxury vinyl plank, 100% waterproof, with a 20 mil wear layer. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and installs it with our own crew.
Is Essential really waterproof?
Yes. Essential is 100% waterproof through the whole plank, not just water-resistant on the surface, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Standing water will not damage the floor itself, though you should still wipe up spills so they do not sit at the edges.
How durable is Essential?
Durability on vinyl comes down to the wear layer, and Essential has a 20 mil layer, a heavy-residential to light-commercial thickness that handles pets, kids, and busy rooms. The mil rating predicts how long it keeps looking new better than the overall thickness does.
How is Essential installed?
Essential is a glue-down vinyl, bonded directly to a smooth, flat, dry subfloor with full-spread adhesive. It lies flat with no hollow sound and suits large or high-traffic areas, and our crew handles the subfloor prep that makes or breaks the result.
Where can I see Essential near me?
You can see Grandeur Flooring Essential at both Squarefoot Flooring showrooms, in Mississauga at 700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, and in Barrie at 112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4. Texture and colour read differently across a full floor, so we recommend seeing a sample first.
