Quick Answer
What is Palace?
Palace is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor built around a deep espresso brown color, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. A splash at the sink or a dropped glass wipes up without harming Palace when cleaned promptly; don't leave water standing. Indoor use only — outdoor installation is not approved.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
The flooring uses a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.51 mm — ideal for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, giving you excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a step up from the standard-duty wear layers in everyday durability.
Will it hold up to daily life?
Palace has a 20 mil protective layer — thicker than the thin wear layers on entry-level LVT. That's the physical protective film above the print, sealed by finish.
What does the plank surface look like?
Each Palace plank shows pronounced cathedral figure rising to strong peaks, with round dark knots circled by tight surrounding grain and mineral streaks tracing the length of the board. The character is bold and traditional, more dramatic than a straight-grained floor, and the printed surface sits over a rigid stone core. Across a hall the knots and figure give the floor movement without looking noisy.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
The 1.5mm acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Palace is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.
Is it safe for indoor air?
Yes — Palace carries FloorScore certification, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.
Will this color work in my room?
Lit by the warm evening glow of an entry hall with no window nearby, Palace deepens into a rich, low-lit brown that plays beautifully against cream marble and gold trim. Warm light pulls the espresso tone deeper and brings the knots and mineral streaks forward. Where the sconces catch it, the brown warms a little further, and in a brighter room the same tone lifts to show more of its warm cast.

Overview
Palace opens with strong cathedral peaks and round dark knots ringed by tight grain, with mineral streaking drawn along the boards for a grand, formal read. The espresso brown carries a rich warm undertone, so a full floor looks deep and layered rather than flat black. In a grand entry, foyer, or formal hall it sets a stately base beneath cream and gilt, and the waterproof rigid stone core takes the constant in-and-out traffic an entrance sees. Palace suits rooms meant to make a first impression, where you want a dark floor with real character underfoot and the toughness to match.
Cathedral peaks, round knots, and mineral streaking give Palace a deep espresso brown with genuine grandeur.
