Common Uses

Winchester Vinloc Extra and Essentials is well suited for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and high-traffic living areas. The waterproof core and strata-approved sound rating make it a practical choice for condos, apartments, and multi-level homes where both moisture resistance and noise management matter.

Pairs Well With

Complete the installation with Enstron Floor Underlayment if additional sound dampening is needed for specific applications, or add matching transitions using the 1026 Transition Strip. For a premium version of the same line, see the 10.5mm Winchester Vinloc Premier Series.

Pro Tips

• Do not add a second layer of underlayment -- the attached pad is pre-engineered for the locking system. Adding more will cause flex and joint failure over time.
• Acclimate planks in the installation space for 48 hours before installing, especially in rooms with significant temperature variation.
• Leave a 10mm expansion gap around all fixed objects -- walls, cabinets, door frames, and pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Extra and Essentials?
Extra is the premium tier -- typically a wider plank format, more refined emboss texture, and a longer wear layer. Essentials offers the same waterproof SPC core at a lower price point. Both use the same Vinloc click-lock system. Ask in-store for a side-by-side sample comparison.

Can this be installed in bathrooms and basements?
Yes. The SPC core is 100% waterproof, making it suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and below-grade basement installations.

Do I need to buy separate underlayment?
No. Underlayment is already attached to each plank. Do not add a second layer -- this causes the locking system to flex and fail over time.

Is this product condo and strata approved?
Yes. The IIC 73 sound rating meets the requirements of most condo and strata corporations. Confirm the specific IIC requirement with your building management before purchasing.

How many boxes do I need for my room?
Each box covers 24 sq ft. Measure your room in square feet, add 10% for cuts and waste, then divide by 24. Ask in-store for help calculating your order.
