Simba Flooring Planet Vinyl Tile 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: Simba Flooring Planet is luxury vinyl tile, a stone-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. It is SPC, Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Here is what matters on this one. The core here is SPC, a stone-and-polymer composite that is denser and more rigid than standard vinyl. That rigidity is what lets it sit flat over an imperfect subfloor and hold its shape year-round, and it installs as a floating click floor. It has a 12 mil wear layer, enough for normal household traffic in bedrooms, living rooms, and quieter spaces. Because it is 100% waterproof rather than just water-resistant, you can put it in the rooms that rule out wood and laminate, full baths, laundry rooms, kitchens, and basements. It comes with an attached acoustic pad, which softens sound between floors and means one less layer to buy and lay. Tiles come in a 12 by 24 inch format. An embossed surface adds real texture underfoot rather than a flat printed face. It is also FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a 20-year residential and 5-year commercial warranty.

Decision line: Planet is the choice when you want a thin, rock-solid, fully waterproof floor that hides an imperfect subfloor and goes just about anywhere.

Our own crew installs Simba Flooring Planet across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. A floating vinyl floor still needs a clean, flat base, so we level and prep first, then finish the trim and transitions. See our vinyl installation page.

It is worth seeing Planet in person before deciding. Visit either store, contact us to confirm stock, and see more in the vinyl flooring range.
