FAQs

Is 5.0 MM vinyl plank flooring thick enough for everyday use?
Yes. A 5.0 MM plank with an SPC rigid core like Shaw Breakers Point is ideal for most residential spaces. It’s durable enough for daily traffic and resistant to dents, scratches, and moisture.
You can. The click-lock system works well over flat, clean subfloors including tile and sealed concrete. Just be sure to use the correct underlayment if sound absorption or added insulation is needed.
Yes. The Breakers Point 5.0 MM collection features a 100% waterproof SPC core, making it a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
No. This collection uses a floating floor design with a secure click-lock system. That means no glue, no nails, and fewer tools needed.
5.0 MM is considered a midweight option. It balances comfort underfoot with durability and is easier to install. Thicker planks may offer more sound absorption but often cost more and aren’t always necessary for residential use.
