MSI Surfaces Wilmont Vinyl Plank Flooring

The vinyl aisle is full of look-alikes at very different prices, and the difference usually comes down to two specs most shoppers never check.

In simple terms: MSI Surfaces Wilmont 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.

This is a glue-down luxury vinyl plank, a flexible plank bonded straight to the subfloor. Glued down, it lies dead flat with no hollow sound, handles large open spans and commercial traffic, and lets you swap a single damaged plank without lifting the floor. It does need a smooth, flat, dry subfloor to look its best. It has a 20 mil wear layer, the sweet spot for busy homes and light commercial rooms, well above the builder-grade 6 to 12 mil you find in big-box vinyl. On vinyl, that mil number is the best single predictor of how long the floor keeps looking new, more than thickness or price. It is 100% waterproof top to bottom, not merely water-resistant, so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and entries are all fair game. 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. It is rated for use over in-floor radiant heat. Planks run up to 7 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 FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and GREENGUARD certified. It is backed by a Lifetime residential and 10-Year commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Bleached Elm, Burnished Acacia, Charcoal Oak, Elmwood Ash, and Lime Washed Oak.

Decision line: Wilmont is the pick when you want a flat, glued-down floor for a big or busy space, provided the subfloor is smooth and level.

Installation is in-house and never subcontracted, across the Toronto and Mississauga area up to Barrie and Simcoe County. We check the subfloor, prep it, and set the floor, then handle the trim. Browse our projects or the vinyl installation page.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Wilmont in person at either store. Rated for radiant heat, it also pairs with the in-floor heating membranes we stock. Contact us to check current stock, or browse the full vinyl plank range.
