Prodigy HDR MXL Plus 8" x 86"

The Prodigy HDR MXL Plus collection from Shaw Floors is one of the most well-built luxury vinyl plank options available. At 86 inches long and 8 inches wide, this collection gives you a much larger plank size than standard vinyl options. It’s designed for homes and businesses that need strong floors without giving up on good looks. Each plank is finished with ArmourBead, a high-performance coating made to resist scratches, dents, and daily wear.

This line is part of Shaw’s Floorte Elite range, which means it’s made to perform. The 9mm total thickness gives it a solid feel underfoot, and the attached pad underneath helps with sound and comfort. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, living room, basement, or an entire house, these floors are made to float over your existing subfloor and hold up over time.
