Philadelphia Commercial In the Grain II 30 6x48 Heavy-Traffic Wood-Grain Commercial Luxury Vinyl Plank

The Philadelphia Commercial In the Grain II 30 (style #5536V) is a heavy-traffic commercial luxury vinyl plank in the 6" x 48" size, combining realistic wood grain with a heavy-duty 30 mil wear layer; it is made in the USA. Its wear layer is the heaviest stated among the In the Grain II versions on our site, and it is intended for high-traffic offices, schools, healthcare and retail spaces. Built as a performance luxury vinyl tile, it measures 5.96" x 48", installs by direct glue and is finished with ExoGuard+. Because the color line is shared across the family, high-wear zones can be upgraded without changing the look.

Best for: Hospital and clinic corridors, school main halls and cafeterias, airport and transit concessions, big-box retail aisles and busy office lobbies.

Installation Methods

In the Grain II 30 is approved for direct glue. Full-spread adhesive locks every plank to the subfloor, which is what high-traffic corridors with beds, carts and pallet jacks require. Plan the plank direction to run along the corridor for a longer, calmer look, and stagger end joints randomly. In healthcare and education, check whether the project calls for specific adhesives or welded transitions. Subfloor preparation and moisture testing should be done per the manufacturer's installation documents; the spec sheet links to them.

Specifier Tips

Use In the Grain II 30 where wear concentrates, such as main corridors, nurse stations and cafeteria lines, and specify a lighter-duty version like In the Grain II 20 Mil in the same color for rooms off the corridor. Barley, Wheat or Cotton Seed hide cart marks and scuffs best; keep Drift for low-traffic rooms. Where the plank meets walk-off carpet tile at entrances, use a flush transition so carts roll smoothly.
