MSI Nove 9x48 Glue-Down LVP: The Complete Guide for Contractors & Homeowners

If you've been searching for a luxury vinyl plank that combines serious performance with stunning visual appeal, the MSI Nove 9x48 glue-down series deserves your attention. Here at Bombay Tile, it's quickly become one of our most talked-about flooring lines — and for good reason.

Why 9x48? The Case for Extra-Wide Planks

The first thing contractors and designers notice about the Nove series is the plank size. At 9 inches wide and 48 inches long, these are genuinely extra-wide planks — and that matters more than you might think.

Wider planks mean fewer seams across the floor, which creates a cleaner, more seamless look that makes any space feel larger and more open. For large commercial installations like office lobbies, retail floors, hotels, and multi-family common areas, this is a game changer. Instead of a busy pattern of narrow planks, you get a bold, expansive surface that makes a real design statement.

For residential spaces, the wide format works beautifully in open-plan living areas, kitchens, and master bedrooms — anywhere you want to maximize the sense of space and light.

Why Glue-Down? The Contractor's Choice

The Nove series uses a glue-down installation method, and if you've ever worked on a large commercial project, you already know why that matters.

Glue-down LVP creates a permanent, stable bond directly to the subfloor. There's no floating, no movement, and no hollow sound underfoot. For high-traffic commercial environments — think retail stores, restaurants, office buildings, and hospitality spaces — that stability is essential. It reduces noise, eliminates the flex and bounce that floating floors can develop over time, and stands up to rolling loads like carts, equipment, and heavy foot traffic.

For contractors, the glue-down method also means a finished product that looks and feels truly professional. It's the installation method of choice for projects where quality and longevity are non-negotiable.

Three Tiers, One Great Look

One of the things that makes the Nove series so versatile is that it comes in three performance tiers, so you can match the product to the demands of the project:

• Nove (6 MIL) — The entry-level tier, ideal for light residential use and budget-conscious projects. Same great look, dependable everyday performance.
• Nove Plus (12 MIL) — The sweet spot for most projects. A 12 MIL CrystaLux wear layer makes this the go-to choice for heavy residential use and light to mid-range commercial applications.
• Nove Reserve (22 MIL) — The premium tier, built for the most demanding commercial environments. If your project sees serious foot traffic day in and day out, this is the one.

No matter which tier you choose, you get the same stunning wide-plank aesthetic, the same waterproof construction, and the same all-grade-level approval that makes the Nove series so flexible across different project types.

Waterproof & Built for Real Life

All three Nove tiers are 100% waterproof, making them an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and any commercial space where moisture is a factor. Unlike hardwood, which can warp and swell when exposed to water, the Nove series holds its ground — literally.

And with approval for below grade, on grade, and above grade installations, the Nove series can go virtually anywhere in a building, giving contractors and designers maximum flexibility from basement to top floor.

Beautiful Colorways for Every Project

The Nove series is available in a range of carefully curated colorways to suit any design vision:

• Melbourne — Cool, contemporary tones for modern interiors
• Selbourne — Warm straw-colored blonde with natural grain variation
• Scandi — Clean, minimalist sandy blonde for Scandinavian-inspired spaces
• Hyde Haven — Rich, sophisticated tones for upscale environments
• Hatfield — Warm, natural tones with timeless character
• Fallonton — Deep, bold tones for dramatic, grounded interiors
• Bayside Bluff — Soft, coastal-inspired driftwood tones
• Bayhill Blonde — Light, sun-kissed warmth for bright, airy spaces
• Akadia — Cool, sleek tones for contemporary commercial and residential spaces

With nine colorways across three performance tiers, there's a Nove for every project, every budget, and every design vision.
