We’re excited to announce the launch of Versaform™, our newest flooring line that complements our trusted Stoneform® collection. With the introduction of Versaform™, we now offer two exceptional flooring options, each designed to meet different needs. While both lines share the same beautiful visuals and superior quality, Versaform™ is uniquely suited for installation on concrete subfloors. This means we now provide even more flexibility for your next flooring project, no matter the foundation.
In this blog post, we’ll break down the similarities and differences between Stoneform® and Versaform™, helping you decide which flooring is the perfect match for your next project.
What is Stoneform®?
Stoneform® is Hewn’s flagship flooring product, known for its incredible durability, beauty, and water resistance. Made from a combination of limestone and virgin PVC with a ceramic bead-infused wear layer, Stoneform® offers the look of real wood but with superior strength and water resistance.
Thanks to its Click and Lock installation system, Stoneform® is easy to install, and its floating floor design makes it versatile for a variety of subfloor types. Its locking system ensures surface spills never seep through the planks, keeping your subfloor dry and intact. Stoneform® also comes in various wood-like designs, making it a popular choice for homeowners, designers, and contractors looking for a high-quality, low-maintenance flooring solution.

Introducing Versaform™
Versaform™ is Hewn’s newest addition to our flooring lineup, offering the same beautiful look and feel as Stoneform® but with a unique design perfect for installation over concrete subfloors. What sets Versaform™ apart is its loose-lay installation method. Instead of using a locking system, Versaform™ allows moisture from a concrete subfloor to evaporate through its seams without compromising the integrity of the floor.
Versaform™ planks are made with 100% virgin vinyl and feature a fiberglass stability layer, ensuring the planks stay securely in place even without a locking mechanism. Its anti-slip textured pattern provides additional safety, and like Stoneform®, Versaform™ is 100% waterproof to surface spills.
Versaform™ is ideal for environments where concrete subfloors are more common, such as basements, commercial spaces, or multifamily residences. The loose-lay system also simplifies installation, making it a fantastic option for DIYers and contractors looking for a quick, efficient flooring solution.
Key Features of Versaform™:
Composition: 100% virgin vinyl with a fiberglass stability layer
Installation: Loose lay (no locking system required)
Size: 9” x 60” planks
Water Resistance: 100% waterproof to surface spills

Which Flooring Should You Choose?
If you’re working with any subfloor that is not concrete, Stoneform® is the way to go. Its locking system provides peace of mind in any room, from living rooms to kitchens.
On the other hand, if you’re installing flooring over concrete—especially in areas prone to moisture like basements or certain commercial spaces—Versaform™ offers an ideal solution. Its loose-lay installation allows moisture to evaporate while still providing a beautiful, waterproof surface.
No matter which option you choose, you’re getting high-quality, durable, and designer flooring that will elevate your space for years to come.
