Quick Answer
What is Cabernet Brown?
Cabernet Brown is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor in a warm medium brown tone, with a heavy-duty, high-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?
The surface is topped by a 28 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.71 mm — recommended for heavy residential use and many commercial applications, with outstanding resistance to scratches, scuffs, and long-term abrasion. That puts it toward the top of the SPC wear-layer range.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Safe cleaners for Cabernet Brown's 28 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?
Up close, each Cabernet Brown plank shows flowing cathedral grain that loops into a pronounced swirling figure, with a swirling knot near the center of the pattern. Small cat's-eye knots dot the boards at a moderate spacing, joined by dark mineral flecks scattered along the grain. The printed surface varies from board to board, so no two lengths look identical.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Cabernet Brown's factory-attached EVA acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.
Will this color work in my room?
Under many windows and soft midday daylight, Cabernet Brown lifts to show its warmer chestnut side while staying an easy medium brown. As the light drops toward evening, the coffee undertones come forward and the color reads a touch deeper and cozier. It sits comfortably against soft-white walls and cooler accents, warm enough to feel inviting without turning orange or red.

Overview
Look closely and Cabernet Brown reveals soft chestnut and coffee undertones layered through its warm medium-brown face, giving it more depth than a flat mid-brown. Flowing cathedral grain loops across each board, with a swirling central knot and small cat's-eye knots dotted through a scattering of dark mineral flecks. In a japandi living room, Cabernet Brown reads calm and airy, warming a soft-white space without pulling it dark.
Coffee-deep and quietly warm, Cabernet Brown brings swirling cathedral movement to a calm, airy room.
