Seaside — 12mm Waterproof Laminate Flooring (GemCore Flooring)

Seaside is a 12mm waterproof laminate line on a 9-1/4″ × 72″ board, with an AC4-rated embossed-in-register surface and a painted-bevel edge, clicking together as a floating floor with GemCore’s angle-snap system. The 10-color range is GemCore’s most varied laminate palette — pale beige and blonde through medium beige and brown, with two rustic multi-tone shades. Seaside is FloorScore certified and carries a warranty up to Lifetime Residential. Order any Seaside color through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Seaside collection

Seaside carries GemCore’s most varied laminate palette: Bethany and Pompano are pale, very light beiges; Grayton and Seabrook are light blonde; Asbury, Cape May, Delray, and Holden sit in a light-medium beige and brown range; and Myrtle and Topsail are the collection’s two rustic multi-tone shades, for a room that wants more visual texture.

Best uses for Seaside

• High-traffic living areas — the 12mm waterproof laminate core and AC4-rated surface are built for a busy main-level room.
• 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.
• Households with pets — the scratch-resistant AC4 surface stands up to claw traffic better than an unfinished or lower-rated laminate.
• Bright, sunlit rooms wanting a pale palette — Bethany and Pompano’s very light beige give Seaside two of the palest options across all of GemCore’s collections.
• Rooms wanting more visual texture — Myrtle and Topsail’s rustic multi-tone patterns hide everyday wear better than a uniform single-tone board.

Choosing a color from the Seaside collection

Bethany and Pompano’s very pale beige open up a smaller room or one with limited natural light, while Grayton and Seabrook’s blonde and the deeper Asbury, Cape May, Delray, and Holden tones carry better in a bright, sunlit space. Myrtle and Topsail’s rustic multi-tone patterns are a good fit for a busy family room where hiding everyday wear matters more than a uniform surface.
