Simba Flooring Universe Vinyl Plank Flooring

Good vinyl is not about the picture on the plank, it is about the wear layer on top and the core underneath.

In simple terms: Simba Flooring Universe is a wood-look vinyl plank that handles water, pets, and busy rooms without complaint. We carry it and install it in-house.

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

The detail behind that: SPC stands for stone polymer composite, and that core is the point: it is hard, rigid, and stable, so the plank stays flat over uneven subfloors and ignores the temperature swings that move cheaper vinyl. It clicks together as a floating floor. It has a 12 mil wear layer, enough for normal household traffic in bedrooms, living rooms, and quieter spaces. It is 100% waterproof top to bottom, not merely water-resistant, so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and entries are all fair game. It comes with an attached acoustic pad, which softens sound between floors and means one less layer to buy and lay. Planks run up to 7 inches wide and 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. An embossed surface adds real texture underfoot rather than a flat printed face. It is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a 20-year residential and 5-year commercial warranty. Colours in the range include 68-12A, 315D, and SP005.

We install Simba Flooring Universe 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.

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