Therma

Therma is a HydraLuxe Rigid SPC plank with a cork backing, and it posts strong sound ratings of IIC 72 and STC 73. That makes it a smart choice for condos, bedrooms over living space, and anyone who dislikes the hollow click of a hard floor. The core is 5 mm thick and waterproof, and planks are 180 mm wide.

Each board has four-sided macro painted bevels, so the plank lines read clearly across the room. The texture is medium embossed with a mat sheen, and the top combines UV-cured polyurethane with ceramic bead technology under a general commercial abrasion rating. Kitchens, basements and busy main floors are all within its range. The Välinge 5Gi lock lets each end drop into place, and the floor floats without glue.

The six colours are Ainsworth, Fairmont, Frizzell, Halcyon, Harrison and Prophet River. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Therma across Toronto and the GTA, with vinyl installation from $3.20 per square foot.
