- Waterproof: the spec sheet says the floor is waterproof. Water-resistant floors are left out.
- Good with pets: laminate rated AC4 or AC5, and vinyl with a wear layer of 20 mil (0.5 mm) or more.
- Quiet for condos: floors with a sound rating (IIC or STC) on the sheet, or a pad attached to the plank. Your building sets the rating it needs, and we bring the underlay sheet for the board.
- Radiant heat: the maker lists the floor for use over in-floor heating.
- Wide plank: planks 8 inches wide or more.
