Quick Answer

What is Catapult?

Catapult is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor built around a honey color, with a durable, heavy-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 Catapult 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?

Catapult is protected by a 20 mil wear layer — equivalent to 0.51 mm — designed for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering 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?

Catapult 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?

Up close, Catapult shows an open cathedral grain with bold, prominent figure: wide peaks and long flowing lines that travel the full length of the board. A few small knots turn up here and there, adding character without clutter, and the board-to-board movement means no two planks look identical across the floor. The surface is a printed wood-look layer over a rigid stone-polymer core, so you get the sawn-board look with none of the cupping or gapping milled boards can develop.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1.5mm acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Catapult 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 — Catapult 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?

Catapult reads as a soft, sunlit gold. In the bright afternoon light coming through sheer curtains, the tone lifts and warms and shows its honeyed side; in a darker or north-facing room it deepens to a richer amber-tan without going dull. Because Catapult stays on the warm side of neutral, it pairs easily with charcoal and cooler greys, which keep the gold from feeling too sweet, and just as well with off-whites and soft greens. It is an approachable color that flatters both airy and moodier rooms.

Overview

Catapult opens with a bold, open cathedral grain: long peaks that flow the length of each board and pull the eye down the room. The color is a light golden tan, warm without tipping into orange, and a scattering of small knots keeps the printed surface reading like sawn boards rather than a flat repeat. In its photographed living room, Catapult runs wide and continuous under afternoon light, its honeyed tone catching the amber in the space while a charcoal sectional and whitewashed brick give it something cooler to lean against. It suits a relaxed, lived-in family room, and its 100% waterproof SPC core takes daily traffic, spills, and pets in stride.

A light golden tan with a bold cathedral figure, Catapult brings easygoing warmth to a busy family room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed room, Catapult is laid in a modern-industrial living room: a charcoal sectional with a single amber accent pillow, a tall potted plant in the corner, and a built-in fireplace set into a whitewashed brick wall. The light golden floor warms all of that up, softening the concrete pillar and cool brick so the space feels cozy rather than stark. Sheer drapery lets the afternoon sun wash across the planks, and the honey tone of Catapult keeps the industrial edges from reading cold.
Will it match my cabinets?
Catapult's warm golden tan is flexible with cabinetry. It looks especially natural against white and off-white cabinets, where the floor supplies the warmth, and it looks at home beside warm wood-tone cabinets in a similar honey range. For contrast, pair Catapult with charcoal, navy, or deep green cabinets, and the golden floor keeps those darker tones from feeling heavy rather than letting them close the room in.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
A light golden color like Catapult is a good pick for a windowless basement or a low-light room. Without much daylight, pale floors can wash out, but Catapult's warm honey base holds its color and glow under artificial light, so it reads inviting rather than flat or grey. Warm-white bulbs bring out its amber side; cooler bulbs calm it toward a neutral tan. Either way the floor stays bright enough to keep a below-grade room from feeling closed-in, and its 100% waterproof core makes Catapult well suited to below-grade installs.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Yes. The photographed room already pairs Catapult with a tall potted plant, and green foliage looks right at home over this floor. The warm golden tan is a natural backdrop for greenery, letting the leaves stand out while the floor stays neutral underneath. Just set saucers or trays under pots so standing water never sits on the surface; Catapult is 100% waterproof, but wiping up spills promptly keeps the finish looking its best.
