What is Enchantment?
Designed for kitchens, baths, and whole-home installs where a neutral grounding works under varied cabinet styles. Enchantment’s light beige with warm, lived-in reads grounded across both transitional and modern interiors.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. Stable against concrete-slab humidity, seasonal moisture variation, and minor flooding events common in Bay Area basements. Enchantment suitable below grade. Not approved outdoors; mold/mildew excluded from coverage.
Who’s it best for?
Homeowners updating a kitchen, bathroom, or open-plan reno. Enchantment is built to survive the install — drops tools, scraped boots, construction dust — then keeps that toughness for years of daily use. Popular for whole-home installs spanning multiple rooms.
How thick is it?
6.5mm total assembly. Compared to thinner SPC options in the same price range, the added rigidity delivers better dimensional stability over Bay Area’s humid winters and dry summers. Quality core construction matters more than millimeter count.
Price range?
Enchantment: $3 to $4 per square foot, material only. Plus CA sales tax. For products available for immediate pickup, browse our in-stock SPC flooring page. Trade pricing with verified license. Call (408) 753-3220.

Overview
For health-conscious buyers, Enchantment is FloorScore certified and tested for low-VOC emissions per CDPH/EHLB Standard Method v1.2-2017 — the indoor-air-quality standard used by California public schools, healthcare facilities, and LEED-certified commercial projects. The certification verifies measured chemical emissions under sustained indoor conditions, not just out-of-box. This matters for households with respiratory sensitivities, infants, or anyone moving into newer airtight construction where ventilation rates are lower than older homes. The pale warm beige, effortlessly sophisticated reads refined across the spectrum of medium beige interior conditions — including against white with charcoal accent walls in the supplier install photo, where the floor and wall hold their own visual lanes — so the indoor-air decision doesn’t constrain the design decision. 6.5mm SPC construction; 20 mil commercial wear layer; Lifetime / 15-Year warranty. Certification documentation available on request.

Built for daily life
✔
Color & pairing. In the install photo our supplier shipped, Enchantment sits beneath white with charcoal accent walls and white kitchenette and concrete columns cabinetry — the medium beige tone carries the floor without competing for attention. That’s what we look for when matching Enchantment to cabinet, paint, or tile samples in our showroom.
✔
Thickness & core. The 6.5mm total plank thickness combines the rigid SPC core with the attached acoustic pad in a single factory-bonded stack. Noticeably firmer and quieter underfoot than thinner SPC at the same step. 100% waterproof — safe for every room including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
✔
Wear layer & finish. The 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer is rated for kitchens, entryways, and pet households — tested for chair legs, pet claws, and daily mop-and-go cleaning. FloorScore certification confirms emissions meet CDPH/EHLB v1.2-2017 — California’s strictest indoor air standard, LEED + WELL accepted, GreenPoint Rated qualifying. Safe for families with infants, asthma, or chemical sensitivities — tested annually by SCS Global.
✔
Acoustic pad. The attached 1.5mm IXPE acoustic underlayment arrives factory-bonded to the SPC core, ready to install over the subfloor — no separate purchase, no extra-underlayment decisions. The attached pad is the only approved underlayment under the manufacturer warranty; installing additional pad above or below voids the warranty (the plank itself remains physically waterproof regardless). Dampens footfall noise throughout the home.
✔
Surface & edge. Close inspection of Enchantment reveals subtle wire-brush relief, light board-to-board variation, pin and small knots distributed across boards — what actually distinguishes premium SPC from printed-vinyl tier. The open cathedral grain with relaxed figure catches light directionally; the minimal-knot, refined character of small character knots reads as authentic floor texture, not flat-printed pattern. That’s what makes the floor read as wood at 5 feet rather than vinyl at 18 inches.
✔
Locking & grade. Installs over wood, concrete, or existing hard flooring. No adhesive, no acclimation wait, DIY-friendly with a tapping block. Enchantment’s Unilin Angle-Angle system plus 6.5mm rigid build works above, on, and below grade — basement to second floor, no construction-type restrictions.
✔

Installation & care
Below are Paradigm’s manufacturer specifications plus installer best-practice notes (author byline at top of page). Paradigm’s warranty follows manufacturer spec; real-world installation often benefits from the extra steps below.
Acclimation:
Acclimate sealed cartons 48+ hours at normal room conditions before install.
Pro tip: If boxes have been stored in a cold truck or warehouse below 50°F, let them sit in the install room for 24 hours before cutting. Rigid-core planks tolerate temperature change better than wood, but extreme cold can make the click-lock edges brittle during installation.
Subfloor flatness:
Subfloor must be dry, sound, flat to 3/16-inch over 10-foot radius. Concrete fully cured.
Pro tip: On older concrete slabs, we measure flatness in multiple directions — not just one straight line. A 3/16-inch dip in a 2-foot circle under a refrigerator telegraphs through even the thickest SPC eventually, regardless of what the 10-foot average says.
Moisture testing (concrete):
Test concrete subfloors per ASTM F2170 (RH) or ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride) before install.
Pro tip: ASTM F2170 in-situ RH is the gold standard test, but the number you want is lower than most installers think. Manufacturers commonly cap at 80-90% RH, but slabs hovering at 85% can still cause long-term gasket and adhesive issues. If your slab tests above 80% RH, slow down and investigate the source before scheduling install — high readings rarely fix themselves.
Moisture barrier (concrete subfloors):
Below/on-grade concrete: install 6-mil polyethylene moisture barrier with 6-8″ sealed-tape lap joints.
Pro tip: We recommend 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier over every concrete subfloor regardless of test results. Seasonal moisture shifts, future plumbing leaks, and unseen slab cracks mean a clean moisture test today doesn’t guarantee a dry subfloor in five years. 6-mil poly is $30-50 for a whole room — inexpensive protection. Overlap seams by 6-8 inches, seal with waterproof tape, run 2-4 inches up the walls (hidden by baseboard). This is industry-standard per NWFA and what we’d do in our own home.
Underlayment (do not replace the attached pad)
IXPE/EVA acoustic pad pre-attached — do not add underlayment beneath floor.
Pro tip: Customers sometimes ask about adding a thicker pad under Conquest 20MIL for more softness. Don’t. Conquest 20MIL ships with a 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad already factory-attached to the SPC core — this is the only approved underlayment, and adding any second pad creates an unstable stack-up that causes click-lock seam failure over time. The warranty specifically voids structural-integrity coverage if a non-manufacturer pad is used.
Installation method:
Floating click-lock per Unilin Angle-Angle method. Maintain 3/8″ expansion gap at all walls and transitions.
Pro tip: For rooms wider than 25 feet or longer than 40 feet continuous, add a T-molding expansion break. SPC is dimensionally stable but not dimensionally inert — large rooms need room to breathe. Ignore this on thicker SPC at your peril; the extra thickness makes seam pressure more pronounced when expansion has nowhere to go.
Radiant heat compatibility:
Hydronic radiant systems compatible up to 85°F (29°C) surface. Increase temperature gradually after install.
Pro tip: Turn the heating system on at least two weeks before installation to purge slab moisture. After installation, raise temperature in 5°F increments per day back to operating level. Never go from room-temp to full heat in one day — thermal shock can compromise the click-lock edges and 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad adhesion.
Daily maintenance:
Sweep or vacuum daily. Damp-mop with vinyl cleaner. Steam mops allowed at lowest power, 5-min max per spot.
Pro tip: Use a cleaner specifically labeled for luxury vinyl or SPC — Bona Pro Series Luxury Vinyl Floor Cleaner works well. Avoid ‘mop and shine’ products that leave a film; they trap dirt and dull the Ceramic Bead finish over time.
What to avoid:
Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, ammonia, wax, oil-soaps. Do not drag furniture. Avoid latex/rubber-backed mats.
Pro tip: Steam mops are the #1 warranty-void cause on Paradigm floors — Paradigm’s master warranty explicitly denies coverage for any damage caused by steam cleaners, and the moisture/heat breaks down the adhesives in the plank construction. Customers sometimes say ‘but it’s waterproof’ — the core is waterproof; the seams and adhesives are not designed for pressurized hot water.
Furniture and pet protection:
Use felt protectors under furniture legs. Wide non-marking casters for rolling chairs. Walk-off mats at exterior doors.
Pro tip: Office chairs with plastic wheels are harder on SPC than pet claws. Paradigm’s warranty specifically excludes damage from caster wheels unless they’re wide rubber — swap plastic wheels for rubber or silicone, or use a chair mat. This is in the written warranty, not a suggestion.
Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate how much flooring I need?
Pro tip: we strongly recommend hiring a licensed flooring contractor to measure before ordering, especially for larger jobs. They’ll account for transitions, stairs, closets, and pattern waste that homeowners often miss. Under-ordering means stopping mid-install to wait for another box — and batch matching isn’t guaranteed.
Can I install SPC myself?
Most common case: DIY is allowed, but install mistakes (missed expansion gap, bad subfloor prep, wrong stagger, skipped moisture barrier) void that portion of coverage. Material defects from the manufacturer remain covered.
A few brands go further — their warranty requires “professional installation by a licensed contractor” as a coverage condition, so any DIY = warranty void even without mistakes. Check your brand’s warranty language before deciding.
Pro tip: when a claim is filed, the manufacturer sends a licensed flooring inspector. DIY that followed manufacturer spec to the letter passes inspection; DIY that cut corners won’t. We recommend: price out a licensed contractor quote first, read your warranty carefully, and decide based on your comfort with the procedure — not just labor savings.
Will it work in my basement?
Layer 1 — concrete moisture epoxy applied directly to the slab (manufacturer-approved liquid-applied membrane). Allows ~25 lbs/1000sqft/24hr vapor transmission vs the 8 lbs/1000sqft/24hr ASTM F1869 requires.
Layer 2 — 6-mil polyethylene sheeting on the cured epoxy. The epoxy resists normal slab conditions; the plastic above is insurance against slab cracks from settling or seismic movement (common in older Bay Area homes built on fill). If the slab cracks in year 12, the plastic stops moisture before it reaches your SPC.
Cost: $600-1,100 for a typical basement vs $50-100 for plastic alone. For a floor lasting 20+ years in a moisture-prone slab, double protection pays for itself the first time the slab shifts.
How does SPC compare to real hardwood?
Real hardwood investment = engineered with 3mm+ veneer. That’s the threshold where the floor becomes refinishable (2-3 refinishes over 50+ years, updated stain colors as trends shift). Appraisers factor genuine hardwood into home value; they don’t factor SPC.
Caveat: engineered hardwood with 1-2mm veneer (common in budget lines) is functionally the same as SPC — can’t be refinished, lasts 20-25 years. If you’re paying hardwood prices, verify the veneer spec. We carry both categories — happy to walk through specifics based on your rooms and refinishing expectations.
Do you offer samples I can take home?
How fast does it ship?
What’s your return policy?
Always covered at no cost: manufacturing defects, wrong product shipped, delivery damage documented on receipt before the driver leaves.
Why returns aren’t default: sending a pallet back involves 6 handoffs and $300–800 freight — Kapriz carries the exposure if rejected.
Rare exceptions: 25% restocking fee + customer pays freight. Never for opened cartons, custom orders, or discontinued runs.
Pro tip: see Enchantment in person before ordering — call (408) 753-3220 to confirm showroom availability (samples rotate) or arrange a loan.
What does it look like installed in a real room?
Two paths to confirm: visit our Santa Clara showroom (we carry 80+ flooring brands, most not yet on our website) and lay a Enchantment sample on your kitchen or bedroom floor. Or call (408) 753-3220 for a refundable-deposit sample loan — bring it home, look at it morning, midday, and evening before committing. Designers and architects use our showroom for cabinet + tile + flooring pulls in one visit.
Will it match my cabinets?
Tricky pairings: very saturated colored cabinets (deep navy, forest green) need the floor to step back — this grounded medium beige usually does, but always test against your specific finish first.
Best way to confirm a match: bring your cabinet door or paint card to our Santa Clara showroom — we’ll compare it against Enchantment under real lighting. Don’t have cabinets yet? We carry Boxy Cabinetry on-site (framed, frameless, regular shaker, slim shaker, flat panel — 11 finishes from Ivory White to Black Walnut) — use Boxy door samples to dial in your cabinet + flooring combination in one showroom visit.
What does the plank look like up close?
What you experience: at standing height, light beige with warm, lived-in reads as one flat plane. At eye level near the floor, the open cathedral grain with relaxed figure reveals layered surface texture.
Will it look this bright in a windowless basement?
Is this floor suited for plant-heavy interiors?
Planning point: excessive direct sun in plant-dense rooms can fade SPC over time — UV window film for maximalist setups.
