Common Uses

Legacy XL is well suited for open-plan main living areas, primary bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where a premium wide-plank appearance is the priority. The longer plank format reduces the number of seams in large rooms, which enhances the visual continuity of the floor. The IIC 79 rating makes it a strong choice for condos, strata, and multi-family installations where sound performance is a building requirement.

Pairs Well With

Add matching transitions at doorways using the 1026 Transition Strip. For a standard plank format in the same stone core line, see the 5.5mm Winchester Stone Core Kore Collection. For a commercial loose-lay option, see the 5mm Winchester Timeless Series.

Pro Tips

• Wide-plank SPC requires a flatter subfloor than standard LVP. The subfloor must be within 3/16" over 10 feet. Wider planks amplify any subfloor irregularity -- grind down high spots or apply floor levelling compound on low areas before installing.
• Do not add a second layer of underlayment. The attached foam backer is engineered for this locking system -- additional underlayment causes joint flex and premature wear.
• Stagger end joints by a minimum of 8" between adjacent rows. With 72" planks, staggering is straightforward -- avoid H-joint patterns where four corners meet at the same point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose wide plank over standard plank?
Wide-plank flooring creates fewer seams across the floor surface, which produces a more open, continuous wood-look appearance. In large rooms, this makes a significant visual difference. Wide planks also install faster since fewer pieces cover the same square footage.

What is the difference between Legacy XL and the Kore Collection?
Both use a 100% waterproof SPC core and share the same IIC 79 sound rating. Legacy XL features a longer, wider plank format, a commercial grade 0.5mm wear layer, and a lifetime residential warranty. The Kore Collection uses a 0.3mm wear layer and carries a 30-year residential warranty. Legacy XL is the premium option between the two.

Is this product suitable for below-grade installations?
Yes. The waterproof SPC core is suitable for below-grade basement installations. Ensure the subfloor is dry and flat before installing -- use a moisture barrier on concrete subfloors where ground moisture is a concern.

Do I need transition strips between rooms?
Yes. Transition strips are required at doorways, between different flooring materials, and in rooms exceeding the maximum continuous run length. Ask your Windsor Plywood location for matching transitions in your colour.

How many boxes do I need?
Measure your room in square feet, add 10% for cuts and waste, then divide by the coverage per box. Ask your local Windsor Plywood location for the exact coverage figure to calculate your order accurately.
