Frequently Asked Questions
Is this flooring good for high-traffic areas?
Yes. Cheshire Elm’s 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer stands up to foot traffic, pets, and dropped objects better than standard 12-mil residential wear layers. It’s rated for both residential and light commercial use.
How do I get this flooring?
You can pick up your order at our Santa Clara showroom at 891 Laurelwood Rd, Suite 101, or we deliver to homes within a 60-mile radius of Santa Clara. We also ship nationwide. Call or text us to arrange pickup, delivery, or shipping for your Cheshire Elm order.
Can this floor be installed over radiant heat?
Yes — Cheshire Elm is compatible with most radiant heat systems. Keep the radiant heat surface temperature below 85°F (29°C) and follow supplier installation guidelines for expansion gap and warm-up schedule.
Can this floor be refinished?
No — Cheshire Elm is SPC with a printed design layer and a commercial wear layer. SPC is not a refinishable floor; it’s engineered to resist scratching and wear for decades without refinishing.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Cheshire Elm is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Solid Polymer Core) rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water or moisture exposure — making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
