Debunking Common Myths

 

“It’s waterproof.”
Not exactly. It’s water-resistant, but it does not have a rigid waterproof core like SPC floors.

“6 mil is too thin.”
For short-term use or low-traffic spaces, 6 mil is fine. If you need more durability, consider other Shaw LVP collections with 12–20 mil wear layers.

“Glue-down floors are harder to install.”
They do take more prep and time, but many installers prefer glue-down for the long-term hold and ease of replacing a single plank.

FAQs

Is Shaw Prime Plank 7" vinyl flooring waterproof?
No, Shaw Prime Plank is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can handle spills and damp areas like kitchens and laundry rooms but is not recommended for areas with standing water.
Yes, if you’re comfortable with glue-down installations and your subfloor is level and clean. However, many users prefer to hire a professional installer for best results.
Any flat, dry, and clean subfloor will work—concrete, plywood, or existing vinyl. Avoid uneven surfaces, as this flooring is thin and follows the shape of the floor underneath.
Prime Plank has a thinner wear layer (6 mil) and is glue-down only. It’s a good entry-level option, while other Shaw lines like Paragon or Titan HD have thicker wear layers and waterproof rigid cores.
Yes, it’s ideal for rentals, light-use offices, and multi-family housing where budget, clean appearance, and quick installation are important.
