Description
Sparrow PPPSPC2017 — Paradigm Performer PLUS SPC, 6mm, 9-inch
From laundry to living rooms, Sparrow handles the spaces hardwood can’t. Warm brown walnut with dramatic swirling grain with prominent natural knots defines the look; 6mm SPC with a 20 mil wear layer defines the performance. 9-inch by 60-inch planks float over most existing hard surfaces with an angle-tap click — no adhesive required. The 100% waterproof core handles the water that sinks hardwood. On display now at Kapriz Hardwood Floors in Santa Clara, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it scratch from pets or furniture?
Sparrow’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratches from pet claws and furniture legs better than most standard LVP. For extended life, use felt pads under heavy furniture and trim pet nails regularly.
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 Sparrow order.
How much expansion gap is needed?
Sparrow requires a 1/4-inch expansion gap at all walls, fixed cabinets, and pipes. This gap lets the SPC planks flex with minor temperature changes without buckling or gapping.
What kind of subfloor do I need?
Sparrow installs over most subfloors — plywood, OSB, concrete, tile, or even existing vinyl. The subfloor must be flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet and structurally sound.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Sparrow 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.
