Galaxy Collection — 7.5mm Waterproof SPC Vinyl Plank (Vellichor Floors)

The Galaxy Collection is Vellichor Floors’ mid-weight 7.5mm SPC line — a 100% waterproof, zero-formaldehyde wood-look floor with a calm, neutral palette built for everyday rooms. Each plank is a printed wood-look surface over a rigid stone-polymer core, finished with a 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer and a pre-attached 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad for quieter footsteps. Kapriz carries eight colors — a pale silvered grey through light-to-medium beiges and greiges — all available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Galaxy Collection

Galaxy is the collection’s neutral workhorse. Milky Way is a pale, silvered grey that brings daylight forward; the rest are light-to-medium beiges and greiges that read calm and quiet underfoot, with Pinwheel sitting toward the medium-beige end. Because the tones stay soft and even, the whole range works as a restful backdrop that lets furniture and walls carry a room’s color.

Best uses for Galaxy

• Busy family rooms & hallways — the 7.5mm plank and 20 mil wear layer take daily traffic in stride.
• Open-concept living — the calm, neutral palette carries seamlessly from room to room.
• Kitchens & bathrooms — the 100% waterproof core handles spills, splashes, and humidity.
• Pet households — the commercial-grade wear layer hides minor scratches within the grain.
• Basements — rated for below-grade installation over prepared concrete.

Choosing a color from the Galaxy Collection

For a cool, bright, contemporary feel choose Milky Way’s silvered grey; for a warmer, more traditional backdrop pick one of the light-to-medium beiges. The neutral tones pair easily with almost any cabinetry and wall color, which makes Galaxy forgiving when a palette is still coming together. View a sample under your own light first, and our Santa Clara showroom can cross-check dye lots so a large, open floor reads consistently.

Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy Collection

How is Galaxy different from the Gemstone and Summit collections?

Galaxy is the 7.5mm mid-weight option — a step up in plank gauge from the 6.5mm Gemstone value line and a step below the 8.5mm Summit premium line. All three share the same 100% waterproof SPC core, 20 mil wear layer, and certifications; Galaxy’s niche is a calm, neutral palette for everyday whole-home use.

Is Galaxy quiet to walk on?

Yes — a 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad is factory-attached to every plank, which dampens footfall and the hollow click of a floating floor. That makes Galaxy a good choice for upstairs rooms and multi-story homes.

Can Galaxy go in a basement?

Yes — the planks are rated for below-grade installation over a prepared concrete subfloor, and the waterproof SPC core tolerates the humidity swings that damage engineered wood. Confirm the slab is flat and follow standard moisture-test guidance before installing.

How many boxes of Galaxy do I need?

Each carton covers 22.44 sq ft. Divide your room’s square footage by 22.44 and add about 10% for cuts and waste. Our showroom team can confirm the exact carton count for your layout.

Can I install Galaxy myself?

Yes — Galaxy uses a glueless click-lock floating system suited to a confident DIYer with a tapping block. The subfloor must be flat and prepared, leave a 5/16 in (8.2 mm) expansion gap at the walls, and acclimate the planks before installation.
