Philadelphia Commercial Frontier Plus 7x48 SPC Rigid Core Wood-Look Commercial Luxury Vinyl Plank

Philadelphia Commercial Frontier Plus (style #5M400) is an SPC rigid core commercial luxury vinyl plank, 7" by 48", offering wood visuals and built, as the manufacturer puts it, to withstand high traffic and extreme conditions. The stiff stone-polymer core lets it float over many existing subfloors with minimal preparation, and the ExoGuard finish adds scratch and stain resistance. Frontier Plus offers seventeen colors, from whitewashed and driftwood tones to amber oak, spalted maple and walnut. Several colors have destination names, such as Rae Lakes, Sierra Valley and Centennial Divi.

Best for: Retail remodels, restaurant dining rooms, multifamily turnovers, hotel renovations, offices over imperfect existing floors and seasonal or tenant spaces.

Installation Methods

Frontier Plus is approved for floating installation. The rigid SPC core spans minor subfloor irregularities better than flexible vinyl, which is why it can often go over existing hard floors with minimal prep, and planks join to each other rather than to the subfloor. Leave expansion space at walls and fixed casework, and use a glued product where very heavy rolling loads are expected. Moisture testing, flatness tolerances and any underlayment rules are set out in the manufacturer's installation guide, available with the Frontier Plus spec sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SPC mean on Frontier Plus? On Philadelphia Commercial Frontier Plus, SPC refers to a stone plastic (or stone polymer) composite core. This rigid core makes the 7x48 plank stiff enough to float over many existing subfloors with minimal preparation.

Can Frontier Plus be installed over an existing floor? Frontier Plus is described as installing over existing subfloors with minimal prep thanks to its rigid core. Confirm that your existing floor meets the flatness and moisture limits in the manufacturer's installation guide.

Is Frontier Plus a good choice for a retail or restaurant remodel? Yes. Frontier Plus is built for high traffic, floats in with little downtime and carries an ExoGuard finish for scratch and stain resistance, which suits retail and restaurant remodels.

Specifier Tips

For multifamily unit turnovers, choose a mid tone such as Rae Lakes or Wild Dunes and keep spare cartons from the same run for quick plank replacement. In restaurants, Amber Oak or Casual Comfort hide crumbs and scuffs better than White Sand. Where Frontier Plus meets carpet tile at a dining-room edge, plan a transition that accommodates the floating floor's expansion gap.
