Philadelphia Commercial Alba Reserve 12 7x48 Wood-Look Commercial Luxury Vinyl Plank

Philadelphia Commercial Alba Reserve 12 (style #5M328) is a direct glue commercial luxury vinyl plank measuring 7" x 48", offering a warm oak, pecan and soft neutral wood look, built as heavy commercial luxury vinyl with ExoGuard® surface protection for easier cleaning and scuff resistance. It is the middle option in the glue-down Alba Reserve family, which also includes Alba Reserve 8 and Alba Reserve 20, and all three share one 13-color palette. That shared palette, along with loose lay and SPC rigid core versions, lets a project use one wood look across very different rooms while choosing the construction that suits each.

Best for: Private and open offices, K-12 administration areas, multifamily units and corridors, medical office suites and light retail.

Why Choose Alba Reserve 12 7x48

• Direct glue installation for a fully bonded, stable commercial floor
• ExoGuard® finish for easier cleaning and scuff resistance

Installation Methods

Alba Reserve 12 is approved for direct glue installation. In a direct glue floor, adhesive is troweled across the whole subfloor and each plank is set into it and rolled, producing a permanent bond that resists shifting under rolling chairs, carts and furniture moves. This is the usual method for offices, schools and multifamily corridors. Before you install, test concrete for moisture and prepare a smooth, clean subfloor as directed on the Alba Reserve 12 spec sheet and Shaw's installation guide, using the adhesive Shaw recommends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Alba Reserve 8, 12 and 20? They are three glue-down versions of the same Alba Reserve wood design with identical color names. Philadelphia Commercial lists the exact construction details for each on its spec sheets, so compare Alba Reserve 8, Alba Reserve 12 and Alba Reserve 20 against your traffic needs.

Is Alba Reserve 12 a glue-down floor? Yes. Alba Reserve 12 is a direct glue luxury vinyl plank, meant to be fully adhered to a prepared subfloor.

Is Alba Reserve 12 good for apartments? Alba Reserve 12 suits multifamily units and corridors thanks to its warm wood colors and an ExoGuard® finish that makes routine cleaning easier between tenants.

Can Alba Reserve 12 match a loose lay area? Yes. Alba Reserve LL uses the same 13 color names, though it is a 6x48 plank, so plan a transition where the two plank widths meet.

Specifier Tips

For an office floor, set Willow Oak or Shadow in work areas and use Honeycomb or Ohlone Oak in a break room for a warmer zone in the same product. In apartments, Mesa Oak keeps compact units bright, and Native Pecan helps hide tracked-in dirt at entries. Where Alba Reserve 12 meets carpet tile in offices, specify a resilient reducer, and add walk-off carpet at building entrances.
