MSI Surfaces Studio 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: MSI Surfaces Studio 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.

Decision line: choose Studio where you want a low-maintenance, water-friendly floor that still looks the part.

The detail behind that: This is a rigid-core vinyl plank, engineered to stay flat and stable over uneven subfloors and through temperature swings, and it floats into place without glue. It carries a 30 mil wear layer, a commercial-grade thickness that shrugs off heavy traffic, pets, and chairs. With vinyl, the mil rating tells you more about longevity than the overall thickness does. 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 STC around 71, 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 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. A low-sheen matte finish keeps glare and footprints down. It is also FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and GREENGUARD certified. Colours in the range include Adlar, Bozeman, Doack, Lark, and Malden.

Our own crew installs MSI Surfaces Studio 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.
