Nobility Plus Floorte Pro 7 Series

Floorte Pro 7 Series Nobility

This description is going to be a little self-serving, but I want to be upfront…..the Floorte Pro 7 Nobility Series is our favorite vinyl that we have ever sold. We do try to account for this bias in our breakdown of features below. 

If you want to learn about the Floorte Pro series watch our floorté overview video below. No account is needed to purchase these stylish home vinyl floors today.

Let's talk about the SPC vinyl core of this Floorte 7 Nobility. Years ago hardwood, laminate, carpet, or tile were your best options to fill a room. A lot of the time the molding, trim, and transitions to the wall didn't match all that great and these options weren't waterproof. Shop or collection of floorte click lock products at unbeatable pricing that puts hardwood to shame today.

Solid Polymer Core Products

Almost all LVP floors are made using one of 2 cores: either the older, quieter, and softer WPC or the newer and more dense SPC. Personally, I prefer the SPC, as it will not dent like a WPC, and it's cheaper. 

An SPC floor is made up of several layers, each integral to a particular task. Let’s start at the top!

ScufResist Platinum is a long-winded way of saying that the floor has an Aluminum Oxide wear layer. Hands down, Aluminum Oxide is the hardest, most scratch-resistant finish in the industry. Other companies, such as COREtec, offer UV-cured acrylic. While not as hard, they say it offers a better visual. The only downside to Aluminum Oxide is that it isn’t cheap and your rights to complain about that are valid.

The Floorte Pro Wear Layer

Next is the wear layer. Technically, the wear layer is the finish layer, with Aluminum Oxide, but we are naming them separately because of the difference in thicknesses that are available.

The most common thicknesses are 6 mil, 12 mil, and 20 mil, but occasionally we see wear layers up to 30 mils. A Shaw Floorte product shines with a thicker wear layer.

The Aluminum Oxide

Here some of my manufacturing friends will disagree with me, but I think that this specification is the least important. If your topcoat is Aluminum Oxide, what difference does it make how thick it is? Sure, a 20 will last longer than a 12, marginally, but the other aspects of construction are more vital to stability and longevity. BTW….Nobility is a 20 mil.

The image layer is what provides the visual. On Nobility, Shaw uses a high-definition layer that has far more detail than most of their offerings. 

SPC Rigid core is what makes a floor more dense and dent-resistant. We talked about this already. To keep a floor looking great in your home, it needs to resist damage.

Now to what I consider the second most important feature of a Luxury Vinyl Plank floor besides style is the balancing layer. 

The Unspoken Balancing Layer 

Most of the features of an LVP are visual styles as you may notice notice. Not the balancing layer. Manufacturers don't add a balancing layer so you can save 10-15 cents!

The truth is that a large part of the quality of LVP like our shaw floorte pro is determined by its stability, and stability requires balance. 

Look at how a sheet of plywood is made. It has multiple layers of wood, each layer has wood grain running perpendicular to the last. Take off one of the 6 layers of a sheet of plywood and you hurt the stability a little. Take off 1 of the 2 structural layers of an LVP floor, and guess what you get? A beautiful style floor that separates when the sun hits it all day.

Who is to be blamed, the retailer? The manufacturer? The retailer? How about both?

Sometimes I visit our different locations and I look at the different cars that our customers drive. Everything from the cheapest jalopy to high-end style imports. But we retailers want to make your purchase all about price. Why? Because we are lazy. It is much easier to sell the cheapest floor than to explain the differences between the products and allow our customers to make that decision. If you want the cheap stuff, we have that. If you want to upgrade a little or a lot, we can help with that as well.

Do not buy a floor without the balancing layer. We offer the COREtec Mills River, a 12 mil SPC with a balancing layer. If the price is really important, buy that. The installation and style colors are a close second place to the floorte vinyl plank.

The Attached Pad & Fold-N-Tap Installation

The bottom layer of an LVP product construction is in the attached pad. This pad helps cut down on sound. On our floorté pro 7 Nobility, Shaw uses a 1.4 mm pad, whereas most competing luxury vinyl floors include a 1 mm version.

If you are doing your own installation then the Tap n Fold is a big deal. Essentially, when you install most LVP floors without this floorte feature, you have to be a bit of a contortionist. You can choose to either start your installation on the long side or on the end which is the easy way. The long side installation is going to be a struggle, with lots of tugging and tapping with tools.

Using the patented Floorte Tap n Fold waterproof interlocking luxury vinyl installation feature is much easier. Tap the luxury vinyl on the long side that is away from you, and drop the board into place. If that sounds too easy, come by one of our stores and we will show you.

A Wood-Like Texture Product - Registered Embossed

The last vinyl product feature that we will discuss today is the registered embossing. If you haven’t seen it, please order a sample and see what you think. Typically, each board in a box of luxury vinyl has the same texture. A typical luxury vinyl textured product ignores the knots or grain in the visual.

Our 7 series Nobility product has the registered embossed texture. This makes the texture match the visual. If you see a wood knot, you feel a wood knot! Very few luxury vinyl floors offer this feature, because it isn’t cheap, but in some visuals, like the wide rustic planks in the 7 Series, it is a very big deal. If you used the visualizer shaw floors has you really should wish you could touch the floor as well. Our Floorté pro vinyl flooring orders get priority in our pipeline. These 7 series shaw products put smiles on professional installation workers and DIYers alike.
