1867 Floors Evolution Magma Pro SPC Vinyl Plank

Why the slim 4.5mm profile matters

The defining feature of Magma Pro is its slim 4.5mm profile. Many SPC planks run 5 to 6mm or thicker; Magma Pro is deliberately lower. That reduced build-up makes a real difference in renovations, where transitions to tile or carpet are easier to manage and the floor is more likely to clear an existing door without trimming. It does this without giving up the rigid SPC core, so stability is not the trade-off.

Decision line: choose Magma Pro when floor height is tight and you still want a rigid, waterproof core.

What SPC rigid core construction means

Magma Pro, from 1867 Floors, is built on an SPC rigid core, a dense centre made primarily from limestone powder and PVC. The core does not flex or expand the way thin flexible vinyl can. Magma Pro installs as a floating floor: the planks click together and rest over the subfloor with no glue or nails, a fast, clean install handled by our in-house vinyl installation team. A rigid core bridges minor subfloor imperfections better than a thin plank. One honest note: a floating floor still wants a reasonably flat, clean, dry subfloor.

100% waterproof, and what that actually covers

Magma Pro carries a 100% waterproof rating, and the SPC core is the reason. A stone composite core does not absorb water or swell, so spills, mopping, humidity, and damp conditions will not damage the plank. One honest clarification still applies, explained in our guide on whether flooring is truly waterproof: a waterproof plank is not a waterproof installation. A floating floor has seams and a perimeter expansion gap, and standing water left long enough can still reach the subfloor. For everyday spills and humidity Magma Pro is fully suited; for a shower pan, a sealed tile system with a waterproofing membrane remains correct.

What the 20 mil wear layer tells you

The wear layer is the clear coating that absorbs surface abrasion, and it is the most important durability figure on any vinyl plank. Despite its slim profile, Magma Pro keeps a full 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer, well above the 12 mil common on residential vinyl. Surface durability is driven by the wear layer, not overall thickness, so the slim profile does not mean a less hard-wearing floor.

Evolution Magma Pro Collection FAQs

Is Evolution Magma Pro waterproof?

Yes. Magma Pro is rated 100% waterproof thanks to its SPC stone composite core, which does not absorb water or swell. Note that a waterproof plank is not a waterproof installation, so a shower pan or area with constant standing water still needs a sealed system with a separate waterproofing membrane.

Does the slim 4.5mm profile make Magma Pro less durable?

No. Surface durability comes from the wear layer, and Magma Pro keeps a full 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer. The slim profile reduces floor build-up height for easier transitions; it does not reduce how well the surface resists wear.

What is the difference between Evolution Magma and Magma Pro?

Both are 1867 Floors SPC rigid core vinyl planks with a 20 mil wear layer and a 100% waterproof core. Magma Pro has a slimmer 4.5mm profile designed for renovations where floor height and door clearances are tight, while standard Magma is the fuller-profile plank. Both share the same SPC core, wear layer, and waterproof rating; the choice comes down to whether your project needs the slimmer profile.

What kind of subfloor does Magma Pro need?

A clean, dry, and reasonably flat subfloor. As a floating floor, Magma Pro bridges minor imperfections, but large dips or bumps should be corrected before installation.

Where can I see the Evolution Magma Pro collection in person?

Magma Pro is available at both Squarefoot Flooring showrooms: 700 Dundas St E in Mississauga and 112 Saunders Rd in Barrie. Visiting in person lets you compare the full range of finishes under real lighting.
