Seamless Coverage
A 12-foot roll covers most residential rooms in a single sheet ? no plank seams, no grout lines for water and grit to find their way into.
Wet-Room Friendly
Bath, laundry, mudroom, and small kitchen installs are exactly the use case sheet vinyl is engineered for; the integrated, sealed surface is hard to beat in these rooms.
Fast, Predictable Install
Glue-down sheet vinyl installs faster than tile and faster than plank in small rooms ? meaningful in occupied homes and quick-turn rental flips.
Stain-Resistant Surface
The urethane wear surface across DuraTru handles routine spills, food prep, pet messes, and tracked-in moisture without staining or finish breakdown.
Budget-Conscious Spec
Sheet vinyl remains the lowest-installed-cost durable floor in Shaw's vinyl lineup, while still carrying brand-name spec and warranty backing.
Two Build Origins
New Heights is Made in the USA. Aspect is Made in Canada. Both are North American manufactured spec ? meaningful for buyers who care about supply chain.
About DuraTru
DuraTru is Shaw's residential sheet vinyl umbrella ? the right answer when a project needs a durable, easy-clean, water-tolerant floor in a wet room or budget-driven renovation. Sheet vinyl differs from luxury vinyl plank in three ways that matter: it installs as a single seamless roll rather than individual click planks, it bonds to the subfloor with adhesive rather than floating over an underlayment, and it runs at a meaningfully lower installed cost while carrying real wear-surface protection.
Ten collections sit inside DuraTru. New Heights 1049V is the U.S.-made spec ? 6 colors, Opticlean Urethane finish, felt-backed glue-down install, 5-year residential warranty. Aspect 3563V is the Canadian-made spec ? 10 colors, full-spread adhesive bonding for stronger traffic tolerance, broader color match for renovations that need to coordinate with existing finishes. Either is a strong sheet-vinyl pick; the choice usually comes down to color match, install method preference, and project budget.
Hardwood Flooring Depot has stocked Shaw vinyl for over 20 years from our Irvine, CA showroom and ships nationwide. Visit us at 9590 Research Dr or call (949) 453-3300 for samples, color confirmation, freight quotes, and lead time on the colors you need. CA Lic # 861468.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sheet vinyl, and how is it different from luxury vinyl plank?
Sheet vinyl ships in continuous rolls (typically 12 feet wide) and bonds to the subfloor with adhesive, leaving a seamless surface across most residential rooms. Luxury vinyl plank ships as individual planks that click together and float over the subfloor. Sheet vinyl is the right pick in wet rooms and budget-driven renovations; LVP is the right pick when the design intent is a wood- or stone-look plank floor.
Is DuraTru fully waterproof?
DuraTru sheet vinyl is highly water-resistant and the standard spec for residential bath, laundry, and kitchen renovations. Sheet vinyl performance in standing water is different from a fully sealed waterproof plank floor ? extended standing water still needs to be cleaned up promptly, and seams (when present) should be heat-welded or sealed per Shaw's installation instructions. For full waterproof rating language refer to Shaw's current spec.
How is DuraTru installed?
Both DuraTru collections are glue-down sheet vinyl. New Heights installs with full-spread or perimeter adhesive per Shaw's instructions; Aspect installs with full-spread adhesive across the entire room. The subfloor must be clean, flat, and dry; concrete subfloors typically require moisture testing before install.
Is DuraTru a good choice for a rental property?
Yes ? sheet vinyl is one of the most rental-friendly floor categories. The seamless surface tolerates tenant spills, the stain-resistant urethane finish holds up to routine cleaning, and the installed cost lets the spec scale across multiple units. New Heights in particular is a routine rental-renovation pick.
Where can I see DuraTru in person?
Hardwood Flooring Depot displays the Shaw DuraTru program at our Irvine, CA showroom (9590 Research Dr, Mon-Fri 8am-5pm or Sat 10am-3pm). Take-home samples are available; we also mail samples and ship full rolls nationwide. Call (949) 453-3300 to confirm color availability and freight to your project address.
