Why people choose Legacy
- Waterproof options in three kinds. Rigid core vinyl in Toucan and Coastal, Riviera vinyl, and AquaProof laminate, each flagged waterproof by Legacy.
- Wide white oak. Brentwood Hills and Milford are engineered white oak at 7-1/2 inches, and Avaron at 6, most with a UV cured urethane finish.
- A heavy wear layer. Toucan carries a 20 mil wear layer on a rigid core plank 6 or 7 mm thick.
- Laminate that is rated for wear. AquaProof is a 10 mm laminate rated AC4, a heavy residential rating.
The floors
Rigid core vinyl
Toucan and Coastal are SPC rigid core planks at 7 and 9 inches wide that click together and float. Riviera is a 4.5 mm waterproof vinyl that can click and float or be glued down.
Waterproof laminate
AquaProof: a laminate wood look at about 7-3/4 inches wide that Legacy marks waterproof, floated over the subfloor.
Engineered hardwood
Brentwood Hills and Milford in white oak at 7-1/2 inches, Avaron in white oak at 6 inches and Aspen in oak at 6 inches.
The warranty, in plain terms
Legacy states a residential wear warranty by line: lifetime on Coastal, and 25 years on Riviera and Milford. For the other lines, ask us for Legacy's document for the floor you choose. Legacy's own warranty governs.
How we install it
Rigid core vinyl and laminate click together and float, so nothing is fixed to the house, over a flat, solid base. Engineered hardwood is stapled to a wood subfloor or glued to a concrete slab. Like any wood, it needs time in the house to settle before it goes down.
Living with it
Vinyl and laminate want a broom and a damp mop, never standing water on a laminate. Hardwood wants a vacuum without a beater bar and a hardwood cleaner. Felt pads under furniture help them all.
