Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of the 10mm thickness?
Sawyer’s 10mm total thickness delivers exceptional rigidity and a premium underfoot feel that thinner planks cannot match. It also provides superior dimensional stability across temperature and humidity changes.
Q: What is the IIC/STC sound rating?
The Black Series achieves high IIC and STC ratings through its multi-layer eSPC core and IXPE underlayment — delivering effective noise reduction for condos, apartments, and upper-level rooms.
Q: Can I install this floor over existing tile?
Yes, provided the tile is firmly bonded, flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet, and the added height does not interfere with doors or transitions. Grout lines deeper than 1/8 inch should be filled.
Q: How do I clean this floor?
Sweep or dry-mop Sawyer regularly. Damp mop with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner for deeper cleaning. Never use steam mops, wax, polishes, or abrasive cleaners.
Q: Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Sawyer is built on a 100% waterproof SPC rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water exposure — safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
