Fortis Collection: Overbuilt for Real Life

Create a bold, contemporary look with Fortis Collection Extra Wide Waterproof Vinyl Plank Flooring. Featuring oversized 9.65" x 72" planks, a commercial-grade 40 mil wear layer, and a waterproof LSPC rigid core, this premium flooring delivers exceptional durability and striking hardwood-inspired style. Designed for busy homes and demanding commercial environments, Fortis combines realistic wood visuals with advanced performance for a floor that's built to last.

Oversized Planks for a Premium Hardwood Look

The Fortis Collection is designed to maximize visual impact with extra-wide, extra-long planks that create an expansive, seamless appearance. Embossed-in-register (EIR) technology precisely matches the texture to the printed wood grain, delivering an authentic hardwood look and feel. The low-gloss finish and pressed bevel edges further enhance the realistic appearance, making this collection ideal for contemporary, farmhouse, industrial, and transitional interiors.

What does 40 mil mean?

A mil is one-thousandth of an inch. Fortis has a 40 mil—or approximately 1.0 mm—transparent wear layer protecting the wood-look design below. That is twice the wear-layer thickness of common 20 mil commercial-grade LVP.

Fortis 40 mil wear layer compared to typical 20 mil commercial LVP - twice the wear-layer thickness

Commercial-Grade Performance for Everyday Living

Built with a Light Stone Plastic Composite (LSPC) rigid core, Fortis offers exceptional stability, waterproof protection, and resistance to dents, scratches, and everyday wear. The industry-leading 40 mil wear layer provides outstanding durability for active households and high-traffic commercial spaces. An attached IXPE underpad improves comfort underfoot while reducing sound transmission, making this flooring an excellent choice for multi-level homes, offices, and retail environments.

Fast Click-Lock Installation

Fortis features the trusted Unilin Uniclic® Click Lock system for fast, glue-free floating installation. The precision locking mechanism creates a secure fit while simplifying installation for both professional installers and experienced DIY homeowners. The attached 1.5 mm IXPE underpad eliminates the need for a separate underlayment in most applications, helping reduce installation time and improve acoustic performance.
