Philadelphia Commercial Symbiotic 12 6x48 Wood Look Commercial Luxury Vinyl Plank

Symbiotic 12 by Philadelphia Commercial (style #5M302) is the 12 mil entry version of a USA-made commercial luxury vinyl plank line: a flexible 6x48 glue-down LVT with a broad wood-look palette. Philadelphia Commercial designed the Symbiotic line as a companion to its carpet tile collections, so it slips easily into mixed-material floor plans. Its 22 colors range from pale Grain and Shoreline through Reed and Malt to deep Carbon and Pitch, and the ExoGuard+® finish adds stain and scuff resistance.

Best for: Office kitchens and break rooms, open offices paired with carpet tile, multifamily units, small retail shops and education support spaces.

Why Choose Symbiotic 12

• Designed as a companion to Philadelphia Commercial carpet tile
• 12 mil wear layer on a flexible direct glue plank
• Made in the USA
• 22 wood-look colors for matching carpet tile schemes
• ExoGuard+® finish for stain and scuff resistance

Installation Methods

Symbiotic 12 is a direct glue LVT. The flexible plank is fully adhered to the subfloor, which lets it sit at a consistent height next to glued carpet tile and keeps it stable under chairs. Because both materials are glued, transitions can be planned with low-profile trims rather than thick ramps. Choose the adhesive, check slab moisture and prep the substrate according to the published Symbiotic instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Symbiotic made to coordinate with carpet tile? Yes. Philadelphia Commercial describes Symbiotic as an ideal companion for its carpet tile collections, so the 6x48 vinyl plank can be specified alongside commercial carpet tile in one floor plan.

What wear layer does Symbiotic 12 have? Symbiotic 12 has a 12 mil wear layer. For heavier traffic the same colors are available in Symbiotic 20 with 20 mil and Symbiotic 30 with 30 mil.

Is Symbiotic 12 made in the USA? Yes. Philadelphia Commercial manufactures Symbiotic 12 in the United States.

Where should I use Symbiotic 12 instead of Symbiotic 20 or 30? Symbiotic 12 suits lighter-traffic areas like private offices, break rooms and apartment units. Busy corridors and retail floors generally call for the thicker 20 or 30 mil wear layer versions.

Specifier Tips

In an office, use Symbiotic 12 in break rooms, copy areas and private offices, with carpet tile in open work zones; Everest or Grain pairs well with gray carpet, while Malt or Reed suits warmer textiles. Where the plan includes busy corridors, step up to Symbiotic 20 or 30 in the same color so transitions are invisible. Order samples of both the vinyl and the carpet tile together to check the match.
