Next Floor Mayfair 568 Vinyl Plank Flooring

Waterproof, hard-wearing, and warmer underfoot than tile: that combination is why vinyl ends up in so many Toronto kitchens and finished basements.

In simple terms: Next Floor Mayfair 568 is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. It is WPC, Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Here is what matters on this one. This is a WPC floor, a wood-polymer composite core that is rigid like rigid-core but with a little more give, so it feels warmer and softer underfoot and runs quieter, a nice touch in kitchens and rooms you stand in for a while. The 20 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. With an IIC rating around 71 and an STC around 63, it meets the sound ratings most Toronto and Mississauga condo boards require, which is often the deciding factor in a high-rise. Planks run up to 9 inches wide and 72 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. The surface is embossed in register, so the texture follows the printed grain and reads convincingly like wood. Micro-bevelled edges define each plank for a more authentic look. It is also FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a Lifetime residential and 30-Year Moderate commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Natural Oak, Gray Oak, Heritage Oak, Gunstock Oak, and Classic Oak.

Decision line: pick Mayfair 568 when underfoot comfort and quiet matter as much as waterproofing, such as kitchens and family rooms you stand in for a while.

We install Next Floor Mayfair 568 with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. It floats over most existing hard floors once the base is flat and dry. Read how we work on the vinyl installation page, or see our projects.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Mayfair 568 in person at either store. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range. For more on what waterproof really means, see our is flooring waterproof guide.
