Summer Lake Collection — 5mm Waterproof SPC (Republic Floor)

The Summer Lake Collection is Republic Floor’s 5mm SPC line, built as a rigid stone-polymer floor for busy, water-prone rooms. Each plank pairs a 20 mil wear layer with a genuinely waterproof SPC core and a pre-attached acoustic EVA pad, so there’s no separate underlayment to buy or install. Planks measure 7.2″ x 48″ and join with an angle-drop click-lock system for a floating, glue-free install. The line ships in 5 colors spanning medium beige, light brown, and light grey tones, and it carries FloorScore certification plus a 25 Years Residential / 10 Years Commercial warranty. Summer Lake planks are available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Summer Lake Collection

The Summer Lake Collection’s five colors sit across medium beige, light brown, and light grey families, giving a mostly warm-neutral range with one deeper red-brown option. Atlantis Cream, Light Dune, and Sunset Ivory lean toward soft, sunlit neutrals that open up a room, while Paradiso Classic reads as a warmer mid-brown and Imperial Red adds a richer, more saturated tone for rooms that can carry contrast. Because every color shares the same 5mm SPC core and wear layer, choosing between them comes down to light and cabinetry rather than performance.

Best uses for Summer Lake Collection

• Kitchens and bathrooms — the waterproof SPC core and attached pad handle spills, splashes, and humidity without swelling or delaminating.
• Basements and below-grade rooms — rated for above, on, and below grade installation over concrete, with a mandatory 6-mil vapor barrier under any slab install.
• High-traffic hallways and living areas — the 20 mil wear layer resists scuffing and wear-through under daily foot traffic.
• Pet households — a rigid SPC core and waterproof surface stand up to claws, accidents, and everyday cleanup.
• Open-concept spaces — floating click-lock planks run continuously from kitchen to living area without a transition at every doorway.
• Rooms with radiant heat — compatible with hydronic and embedded radiant systems as long as the floor’s surface temperature stays at or below 85 degrees F.

Choosing a color from the Summer Lake Collection

In a bright, north-facing room, the lighter tones — Atlantis Cream, Light Dune, and Sunset Ivory — keep the space feeling open, while Paradiso Classic or Imperial Red work well against light cabinetry or trim where you want the floor to anchor the room. Because SPC color can read differently under LED versus natural light, bring a sample home or view it against your cabinets and countertops before ordering a full carton. Our Santa Clara showroom keeps physical samples of the full Summer Lake range on hand to compare in person.
