Biyork Floors Hydrogen 8 Vinyl Plank Flooring

If a room sees water, pets, or heavy traffic, vinyl tends to be the practical answer, as long as you read past the photo to the build.

In simple terms: Biyork Floors Hydrogen 8 gives you the look of real wood in a waterproof, hard-wearing vinyl floor. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it and installs it with our own team.

The build and the spec: This is luxury vinyl, the practical wood-look floor that trades fragility for resilience: it takes water, traffic, and pets in stride and installs cleanly. The 22 mil wear layer puts it in heavy-residential, light-commercial territory, which is where vinyl earns its keep in a family home. On vinyl, that mil number is the best single predictor of how long the floor keeps looking new, more than thickness or price. 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. It is rated for use over in-floor radiant heat. Planks run up to 9 inches wide and 72 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. Micro-bevelled edges define each plank for a more authentic look. On the health side, it is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a 40-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Brume Air, Breezy Billow, Cumulus Cloud, Cool Haze, and Ether Essence.

Installation is in-house and never subcontracted, across the Toronto and Mississauga area up to Barrie and Simcoe County. We check the subfloor, prep it, and set the floor, then handle the trim. Browse our projects or the vinyl installation page.

Decision line: Hydrogen 8 is a practical, waterproof floor for the rooms where wood and laminate struggle, kitchens, baths, basements, and entries.
