Debunking Common Myths About LVP

 

Myth 1: All vinyl plank flooring is waterproof
Not true. Only some LVP is fully waterproof. The Paragon Plus 5″ collection is one of them, with sealed edges and a rigid core.

Myth 2: Vinyl flooring looks fake
Shaw’s embossing and detailed wood grain textures make these planks nearly indistinguishable from hardwood.

Myth 3: It’s hard to install
This collection features a click-lock system with an attached underlayment—no glue, no staples, no mess.

FAQs

Is Shaw Paragon Plus 5" x 48" truly waterproof?
Yes, this collection is 100% waterproof. It uses a rigid SPC core and sealed click-lock edges that prevent moisture from seeping through, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Absolutely. The planks use a floating floor installation system with a click-lock design. No glue or nails are required, and the attached pad eliminates the need for a separate underlayment.
The 20 mil wear layer on Paragon Plus 5″ x 48″ floors provides added resistance to scratches, scuffs, and general wear. It’s ideal for households with pets, children, or high foot traffic.
Shaw Paragon Plus uses an SPC rigid core like Coretec, but stands out with its ScufResist Platinum finish and integrated Soft Silence pad. Unlike RevWood, it’s fully waterproof and better suited for wet areas.
An accent bevel adds subtle definition between planks to create a more realistic, wood-like appearance. It enhances the visual depth and mimics the seams of traditional hardwood.
