Riverfront — 12mm Waterproof Laminate Flooring (GemCore Flooring)
Riverfront is GemCore’s widest and longest waterproof laminate line — a 12mm plank at 9-3/8″ × 72″, carrying a commercially rated AC4 melamine surface and a true-to-wood V-shaped micro-bevel edge, and clicking together as a floating floor with GemCore’s angle-snap system. The 10-color range spans blonde and light brown through medium brown, with one rustic multi-tone shade. Riverfront is FloorScore certified and carries a warranty up to Lifetime Residential. Order any Riverfront color through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Riverfront collection
Riverfront’s 10 colors open with Hudson’s blonde tone, run through a cluster of light browns (Amstel, Arno, Brisbane, Providence, Strasbourg) and Seine’s medium beige, deepen into Porto and Spokane’s medium brown, and close with Charles as the collection’s rustic multi-tone shade.
Best uses for Riverfront
- Large or open-concept rooms — the 9-3/8″ × 72″ board is GemCore’s widest and longest laminate plank, showing fewer seams across a big room.
- Higher-traffic commercial-adjacent spaces — the commercially rated AC4 melamine surface is built for a busier room than a standard residential-grade laminate.
- Kitchens, laundry rooms & other spill-prone spaces — the waterproof core is rated for spills as long as standing water doesn’t sit; avoid flooding or leaving liquid pooled on the surface.
- Rooms wanting a true-to-wood surface feel — the V-shaped micro-bevel edge is designed to read closer to a real hardwood board than a flatter, painted-bevel laminate.
- Households with pets — the scratch-resistant AC4 surface stands up to claw traffic better than an unfinished or lower-rated laminate.
Choosing a color from the Riverfront collection
Hudson’s blonde and the collection’s lighter browns (Amstel, Arno, Brisbane, Providence) open up a room with limited natural light, while Porto and Spokane’s deeper medium brown carries better in a sunlit space without washing out. Charles’s rustic multi-tone pattern hides everyday wear well in a high-traffic commercial-adjacent room. Because the wide 9-3/8″ × 72″ board shows more of each plank’s color per piece, we especially recommend ordering a sample or visiting our Santa Clara showroom to see a full plank under your own lighting before ordering cartons.
