Commercial Vinyl Flooring — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for contractors and commercial clients in Markham, Toronto, and Durham.

What is loose-lay vinyl flooring and how is it different from glue-down?
Loose-lay vinyl (like NAF AquaLuuuz 5mm) installs with no adhesive, nails, or click-lock — a heavy, dimensionally stable plank with a friction-grip backing holds it flat against the subfloor. That makes installation fast and individual boards easy to lift and replace. Glue-down (dry-back) vinyl like the NAF Aqua Commercial line is bonded permanently with pressure-sensitive adhesive for maximum stability in the highest-traffic commercial spaces.
Is loose-lay vinyl good for commercial and high-traffic spaces?
Yes. Our NAF commercial vinyl carries an AC5 commercial wear rating with a 20mil wear layer, FloorScore certification, and acoustic ratings of IIC 73 / STC 72. It is rated for on, above, or below grade — ideal for retail, offices, restaurants, rental units, and multi-unit buildings across the GTA.
How much does commercial loose-lay and dry-back vinyl cost in Markham?
At BBS Flooring, NAF AquaLuuuz 5mm loose-lay is $3.49/sqft, NAF Aqua Commercial 5mm dry-back is $3.29/sqft, and the high-yield 3mm dry-back is $2.69/sqft. Contractor and volume pricing is available — call (647) 428-1111 for a project quote.
Is this vinyl waterproof?
Yes — every NAF Aqua commercial plank we carry is 100% waterproof, which is why contractors specify it for basements, washrooms, kitchens, and below-grade commercial floors.
Do you offer contractor pricing and bulk orders?
We do. BBS Flooring supplies GTA contractors and commercial clients directly with volume pricing, fast availability, and professional installation. Visit our Markham showroom at 6061 Highway 7 Unit B or call (647) 428-1111 to set up a contractor account.
What is the difference between commercial vinyl planks and vinyl tiles?
Planks are long and narrow (about 7.25" x 48") and reproduce a wood look — ideal for offices, retail floors, and corridors. The NAF Aqua Commercial vinyl tile is a large 18" x 36" format with a realistic stone and marble look (colours like Cobalt, Moonstone, Ivory, and Graphite) — a premium option for lobbies, washrooms, reception areas, and feature floors. Both are 5mm, AC5-rated, 100% waterproof, FloorScore certified, and glue-down for permanent commercial performance.
What subfloor do I need for glue-down and loose-lay commercial vinyl?
Both loose-lay and dry-back glue-down commercial vinyl require a clean, dry, flat, and structurally sound subfloor (concrete or approved underlayment). Glue-down (dry-back) planks and the 18" x 36" tiles bond with a full-spread pressure-sensitive adhesive, so the substrate should be smooth and free of high spots. Loose-lay planks sit directly on the prepared subfloor with no adhesive. Our installers assess and prep the substrate as part of every GTA commercial job.
What warranty comes with NAF commercial vinyl flooring?
Every NAF Aqua Commercial and AquaLuuuz product is backed by a 15-year residential and 5-year light-commercial limited warranty, with an AC5 commercial wear rating and a 20mil (0.5mm) wear layer for long service life in high-traffic environments.
Can commercial vinyl be installed below grade or in basements?
Yes. All NAF Aqua Commercial and AquaLuuuz vinyl is rated for on, above, or below grade and is 100% waterproof, making it a reliable choice for basements, below-grade commercial units, washrooms, and moisture-prone spaces throughout Markham, Toronto, and the GTA.
