Paladin Plus is a luxury vinyl plank from Shaw Floors' Luxury Vinyl Pro Series. It uses SPC construction, a 5 mm profile, and a 12 mil wear layer, with 7 inch by 48.03 inch planks and an attached EVA pad. The painted bevel edge gives each plank a defined outline.
Shaw says Paladin Plus is 100% waterproof, with watertight joints to help protect against everyday spills. Shaw also describes the line as dent resistant and made for durability in both home and commercial settings.
Paladin Plus has a 7 inch plank width and a 48.03 inch length, so the floor reads as a steady plank layout rather than a narrow strip. The color range moves from light tones such as Lighthouse, Sea Glass, Silver Dollar, Soft Beige, and Feather Grey to warmer or deeper choices such as Cinnamon Walnut, Ashen Brown, Toasted Taupe, Oceanfront, Marina, and Wild Dunes. Painted bevel edges add definition between planks.
