Adura

Adura is Mannington's luxury vinyl flooring family, a lineup of waterproof planks and tiles sold under four distinct lines — Max, Max Apex, Rigid, and Flex — each built on a different core construction for a different room or budget. Mannington is the manufacturer; FlooringInc is an authorized retailer that stocks Adura planks, tiles, and matching trim across all four lines. Every Adura plank and tile in our catalog is waterproof, and most carry a wear layer built with ScratchResist technology plus Microban surface protection, which inhibits the growth of bacteria on the plank surface. For general background on the manufacturer itself, see our Mannington brand overview; this page focuses on the Adura lines and how they differ from each other.

Why Adura Splits Into Four Lines

Mannington doesn't sell one Adura floor, it sells four, because a waterproof core built for a glue-down commercial hallway isn't the right core for a DIY basement floating floor. Max and Max Apex use a full waterproof construction with attached underlayment aimed at busy residential rooms; Rigid swaps in a solid plastic core for extra indentation resistance and dimensional stability; Flex is a thinner, glue-down plank designed for large open spaces without transition strips. Knowing which core you're buying is the difference between a floor that fits your install method and one that fights it.

How the Four Adura Vinyl Lines Compare

• Adura Max is the original waterproof plank line, sold in 6" and 7" widths with a 20mil ScratchResist wear layer, attached underlayment for comfort and sound reduction, and a lifetime warranty. It's the general-purpose pick for kitchens, baths, basements, and busy family homes.
• Adura Max Apex steps up the design side of the same waterproof platform: wider 8" and 16" planks with registered embossing, painted micro-bevel edges, and Microban protection, plus parquet and stone-look tile visuals alongside wood looks. One 8" Apex plank in our data dampens sound by 30% (72 IIC), useful for upper-floor installs.
• Adura Rigid (sold as Adura 6" and 7" Rigid Waterproof Plank) uses a solid plastic core that resists indentation, doesn't require acclimation before installation, and tolerates wider temperature swings than a standard vinyl core. It carries Microban protection and a premium scratch-resistant finish, and it's a strong fit for households with heavy furniture or pets.
• Adura Flex is a thinner, glue-down plank (18mil ScratchResist X wear layer) made for large, open commercial and residential floors where you want to avoid transition strips between rooms. It's made in the USA and FloorScore certified for indoor air quality.

FlooringInc stocks Adura Max, Max Apex, Rigid, and Flex planks and tiles, plus the matching trim pieces each line needs to finish a room. Browse the full assortment by format:

• Vinyl tiles & planks — every Adura plank width and the Apex tile visuals, including Adura Max 6" and 7" planks, Max Apex 8" and 16" planks, Rigid 6" and 7" planks, Flex 6" and 7" planks, and Apex Artemis marble-look and Nordic Oak tile styles.
• Waterproof vinyl — the Max, Max Apex, and Rigid lines all fall in this category, since their cores are built to handle standing water in kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms.
• Rigid core vinyl — the Adura Rigid 6" and 7" plank, for the solid-core construction specifically.
• Commercial vinyl — Max, Max Apex, and Rigid planks are rated for commercial-grade use as well as residential rooms.

Each Adura line has its own coordinating trim, so the pieces aren't interchangeable across lines. Adura Max and Max Apex planks pair with Adura Max reducers, quarter round, T-molding, end caps, and flush stairnose; Adura Flex planks pair with a matching Adura Flex set of the same five trim types. Check your plank's line before ordering trim so the profile and finish match.

FlooringInc is an authorized Adura retailer, so you're buying the genuine Mannington product, not a knockoff, backed by the manufacturer's own lifetime warranty on qualifying Max and Rigid planks. Because Adura's four lines vary in width, wear layer, and finish, we recommend ordering free samples before you commit — it's the fastest way to confirm a specific Max, Apex, Rigid, or Flex color still reads the way you expect once it's sitting against your cabinets and trim. Our team can also help you match trim to plank line so your reducers and stairnoses actually coordinate with what's on the floor. Orders ship from our US-based warehouse, and our customer-service team is available by phone if you have questions about which Adura line fits your project before or after you buy.
