Quick Answer
What is Southern Magnolia?
Southern Magnolia is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a warm chocolate brown shade, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. Stable against concrete-slab humidity and seasonal moisture variation, so Southern Magnolia suits below-grade rooms once the slab passes a moisture test; clean up standing water promptly. Not approved for outdoor installation.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
The plank features a 20 mil wear layer — equivalent to 0.51 mm — built for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. In everyday use, it's a step up from the standard-duty wear layers.
Will it hold up to daily life?
At 20 mil, Southern Magnolia's wear layer sits on the thicker end for residential flooring, which is why it stands up well to heavy day-to-day use. The 6mm construction gives it a solid, stable feel underfoot in busy rooms.
What does the plank surface look like?
Up close, the plank surface shows a flowing cathedral grain with pronounced arched peaks and plenty of open figure between them. Small knots with dark centers and a bit of gentle mineral streaking add character across the boards, giving Southern Magnolia a varied, natural look instead of an obvious printed repeat. The wood-look surface reads as convincing grain from standing height.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
The 2mm solution EVA acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Southern Magnolia is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.
Will this color work in my room?
In bright, window-lit rooms Southern Magnolia lifts toward its amber undertone and shows off the warmth in the brown; in softer or north-facing light it reads deeper and cozier, closer to espresso. It is a medium-warm tone, so it pairs easily with cream and greige walls, black metal accents, and both warm and cool furnishings without fighting them. That flexibility makes Southern Magnolia a safe pick when you are not yet sure which direction your decor will take.

Overview
Southern Magnolia runs a rich chocolate brown with a deep amber undertone that warms as the plank catches light, so the color reads full and lived-in rather than flat. Arched cathedral peaks sweep across each board in an open, flowing figure, broken by small dark-centered knots and faint mineral streaking that keep the pattern from repeating board to board. It comes in a plank format with a durable wood-look surface built to stand up to everyday household traffic. That depth of tone makes Southern Magnolia a natural fit for living rooms, dining rooms, and busy entryways where you want warmth underfoot.
Chocolate brown with an amber glow and cathedral grain that never quite repeats.
