Next Floor Wildwood 581 Vinyl Plank Flooring

Most vinyl floors look fine in the box; what separates them is the wear layer, the thing that decides whether the floor still looks new in five years.

In simple terms: Next Floor Wildwood 581 is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Here is what matters on this one. This is a luxury vinyl plank, a hard-wearing wood-look floor that handles real life, and it installs without the mess of glue or mortar. The wear layer is a heavy 28 mil, built for commercial traffic, so a busy household barely touches it. With vinyl, the mil rating tells you more about longevity than the overall thickness does. 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 carries an IIC rating around 71 and an STC around 63, so it clears the sound-transfer rules most GTA condo boards set, a common sticking point in high-rises. Planks run up to 7 inches wide and 60 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 Lifetime Wear residential and 10-Year Wear commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Oatmeal Hickory, Weathered Hickory, Tan Oak, Rich Hickory, and Classic Hickory.

Decision line: choose Wildwood 581 where you want a low-maintenance, water-friendly floor that still looks the part.

We install Next Floor Wildwood 581 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 Wildwood 581 in person at either store. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range. The is flooring waterproof guide breaks down how waterproof vinyl compares.
