Our take on the Shaw 5598V Alchemist Embossed Vinyl Flooring, 36" x 36"

The Shaw Alchemist 5598V is a 36-inch square luxury vinyl tile with an embossed finish that mimics stone or concrete. At 5 mm thick, it is sturdier than most glue-down LVT and can be floated or glued down. It is fully waterproof, so it works in kitchens, basements and bathrooms. The best new price is $165.55 at Commercial Floorzz as of November 4, 2026, with four stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is this flooring really waterproof?
Yes. The vinyl core and wear layer are waterproof, so standing water will not swell or warp the planks. That makes it suitable for bathrooms, basements and laundry rooms.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, if your subfloor is flat and clean. It floats over most hard surfaces with an underlayment and expansion gap, or glues down for a more permanent floor. Floating is the easier DIY route.
How many square feet does one box cover?
Coverage depends on the carton, so check the square-footage figure on the box before ordering. Divide your room's square footage by that number and add about 10 percent for cuts and waste.
How does 5 mm compare to standard vinyl tile?
It is thicker than typical glue-down LVT, which is often 2 to 3 mm. The extra thickness gives a firmer feel and better tolerance for minor subfloor imperfections.
When is the price lowest?
Flooring prices dip during seasonal sales and when stores clear overstock. The current best is $165.55 at Commercial Floorzz as of November 4, 2026; compare all four listings before buying.
