Quick Answer
What is Torch?
Torch is a waterproof, wood-look WPC floor built around a soft cool greige brown color, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. Day-to-day life — a dropped glass, a pet bowl, a tracked-in puddle — wipes up without swelling or delamination when cleaned promptly; standing water should not be left to sit. Outdoor use is not approved.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
Torch features a 20 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.51 mm — well suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. That's a step above the standard-duty wear layers.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Safe cleaners for Torch's 20 mil wear layer: vinyl-safe cleaners, damp microfiber mops, vacuum on hard-floor setting. The finish rules out abrasive scrubbers, bleach, ammonia, and solvent-based cleaners — these dull the wear layer permanently.
What does the plank surface look like?
The plank surface is deliberately rough-hewn: vertical saw checks and hairline splits cut across coarse, straight grain striping, with sparse small knots and weathered marks. The printed surface keeps that sawn, weathered-board character even across the room, so the texture is all look and no upkeep.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Torch's factory-attached 1mm IXPE acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.
Is it safe for indoor air?
Yes — Torch 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?
Bright side light in the loft draws out Torch's greige base while its cool undertone keeps the brown crisp and modern rather than warm. In lower light it reads greyer and more industrial. The tone is a natural partner for white, black, marble, and stainless, giving a cool, minimalist scheme a floor with quiet texture.

Overview
Torch is a muted greige brown with a cool undertone, understated and modern where warmer browns run golden. What sets it apart is a sawn surface: vertical saw checks and hairline splits run across coarse grain striping, with a few small knots and weathered marks giving it a worked, textural look. The photographed loft-style living room is crisp and contemporary, a tufted beige modular sofa, a floor lamp, an abstract piece, and a marble kitchen island beyond, all against white walls. As a wood-look plank on a rigid, fully waterproof core, Torch delivers that rugged, sawn character with none of the splinters, staying spill-proof and hard-wearing, and its attached pad keeps an open loft from echoing. FloorScore certification keeps the air low-VOC.
A cool, muted greige-brown with a sawn, weathered surface: quiet grit for a modern loft.
