1867 Floors Evolution Origin Vinyl Plank Flooring

The vinyl aisle is full of look-alikes at very different prices, and the difference usually comes down to two specs most shoppers never check.

In simple terms: 1867 Floors Evolution Origin is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

The build and the spec: This is a glue-down luxury vinyl plank, a flexible plank bonded straight to the subfloor. Glued down, it lies dead flat with no hollow sound, handles large open spans and commercial traffic, and lets you swap a single damaged plank without lifting the floor. It does need a smooth, flat, dry subfloor to look its best. Water is a non-issue: it is 100% waterproof through the whole plank, which is what makes it the go-to for bathrooms, kitchens, and below-grade rooms. Planks run up to 6 inches wide and 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. Colours in the range include Boa, Wheat (Blé), Sarna, Raal, and Natural Maple.

Our own crew installs 1867 Floors Evolution Origin across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. Glue-down vinyl rewards a flat, dry subfloor, so prep is where we spend the time, then finish the trim and transitions. See our vinyl installation page.

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

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Evolution Origin in person at either store. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range. The is flooring waterproof guide breaks down how waterproof vinyl compares.
