Philadelphia Commercial Symbiotic 20 6x48 Heavy Traffic Wood Look Commercial Luxury Vinyl Plank

Philadelphia Commercial Symbiotic 20 (style #5M303) gives heavy-traffic interiors a commercial luxury vinyl plank in 6x48 format whose 20 mil wear layer sits on a flexible, USA-made glue-down LVT offered in 22 wood looks. It steps the Symbiotic line up from the 12 mil version, giving busy corridors, classrooms and retail floors more durability while keeping the same color names. Like the rest of the line, it is designed to sit beside carpet tile collections in one plan. High performance luxury vinyl tile construction and an ExoGuard+® finish round out the package.

Best for: School and university corridors, classrooms, retail stores, healthcare common areas, office circulation paths and multifamily lobbies.

Installation Methods

Philadelphia Commercial approves Symbiotic 20 for glue-down only. Adhesive spread under the full plank holds everything in place, which is what high-traffic corridors and classrooms need when chairs, carts and floor machines move across the floor all day. Glued installation also allows a cut-out and replace repair for any damaged plank. Moisture testing of concrete slabs and substrate preparation should follow the manufacturer's published installation guide.

Specifier Tips

For a K-12 renovation, run Symbiotic 20 in Batik or Thicket along corridors and use a lighter shade like Sandstone or Shoreline inside classrooms, with carpet tile in reading areas. Plank direction along the corridor length helps long halls look orderly. Keep cleaning simple with the manufacturer's care recommendations, and place walk-off carpet at exterior doors to catch grit before it reaches the vinyl.
