What SmartDrop Is

SmartDrop is the line to look at if you want a vinyl floor that does not have to click together. It is a flat plank or tile that can be laid loose, or held with glue or tape, depending on the room.

In simple terms: SmartDrop is the entry series with a 12 mil wear layer. Elite moves up to 20 mil, a lifetime structural warranty and 15 years heavy commercial. Elite+ adds a ceramic bead coating for extra scratch resistance and a micro bevelled edge.

SmartDrop, Elite or Elite+: What Actually Changes

Every series is 5 mm thick, listed as 100% waterproof and listed for hydronic radiant heat only. What changes is the wear layer, the edge, the surface and the warranty.

Loose Lay, Glue Down or Tape?

SmartDrop is made to be installed more than one way. Every series lists loose lay, glue down, perimeter glue or tape, so the method can suit the room.

• Loose lay: the planks are laid flat, with no click joint and no glue
• Glue down or perimeter glue: the floor is glued to the subfloor, either across the whole room or around its edges
• Tape: the floor is held in place with tape instead of glue

How Much SmartDrop 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:

• SmartDrop 9 or Elite 9, at 30 sq ft per box: 15 boxes
• SmartDrop 7 or Elite 7, at 23.35 sq ft per box: 19 boxes
• Elite+ 7, at 23.33 sq ft per box: 19 boxes
• Elite+ 9, at 22.84 sq ft per box: 20 boxes
• SmartDrop tile, at 21.13 sq ft per box: 21 boxes
• Elite 18 by 36 inch tile, at 36 sq ft per box: 13 boxes

SmartDrop boxes run from about 21 to 36 sq ft, so compare the price per square foot rather than per box. Buy the full job in one order so the boxes match.

Where SmartDrop Is the Wrong Choice

• Over electric radiant mats: SmartDrop is listed for hydronic radiant heat only
• A room that gets colder than -15°C or hotter than 80°C: that is the temperature range listed for every series except SmartDrop 7, which does not list one
• If you want the pad built in: SmartDrop has no attached underlay. For a click plank with the pad attached, look at Fuzion Dynamix

If one of these is your situation, tell us, and we will point you to the right floor from our vinyl plank range.

Matching Stairs and Trims

SmartDrop has no Molding Mate trims of its own. Instead, Fuzion pairs selected SmartDrop plank colours with a matching Fuzion Dynamix moulding colour for a square stair nose, a reducer and a T-moulding. Ask us for the match for your colour, and see the trims in store next to the plank.

Installed by Our Own Crews

We install what we sell. Our in-house crews install SmartDrop across Ontario from our Mississauga and Barrie stores, with a one year workmanship warranty. See vinyl floor installation, or our Mississauga and Barrie installation pages. Not near a store? We deliver anywhere in Canada.
