Symbiotic 12 6"

Shaw’s Symbiotic 12 6″ collection is built for people who want durable flooring that looks good and doesn’t cost a fortune. This glue-down luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is made for everyday life—water-resistant, strong, and available in timeless colors that work in nearly any room. Whether you’re updating one room or a whole house, Symbiotic 12 6″ gives you wide planks, realistic wood patterns, and low-maintenance performance.

Each plank is 6 inches wide and 48 inches long, with a textured finish that mimics the grain and depth of real hardwood. The 2mm thickness with a reliable wear layer is ideal for residential spaces or low-traffic commercial areas. And because it’s glue-down, it lays flat, stays put, and is less likely to shift over time. Read More: Why Choose Shaw Floorte Symbiotic 12 6″?
