The Pacific Oak Collection — 6mm Waterproof SPC (Republic Floor)

The Pacific Oak Collection is one of Republic Floor’s rigid SPC lines, built for busy, water-prone rooms on a 6mm stone-polymer core with a 20 mil wear layer. Every plank ships with a pre-attached acoustic EVA pad and clicks together with an angle-drop locking system for a floating, no-glue install over plywood, OSB, or concrete. The line comes in five colors spanning light and medium browns to a cooler medium grey, and it’s backed by FloorScore certification and a 25-Year Residential / 10-Year Commercial warranty. It’s available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in The Pacific Oak Collection

The five colors in the Pacific Oak Collection move across warm light and medium browns, with one cooler medium grey worked in for a more contemporary palette. The lighter, warmer tones open up a smaller or dimly-lit room, while the deeper browns and the grey option suit an open floor plan or a more modern design scheme. Cabernet Brown, Camila Brown, Colton, River Cypress, and Sahara Beige are shown as product cards below.

Best uses for The Pacific Oak Collection

  • Kitchens and bathrooms — the SPC core is genuinely waterproof, so it holds up to spills, splashes, and everyday moisture.
  • Basements and below-grade rooms — rated for above, on, and below-grade installation over a concrete slab with a moisture barrier.
  • High-traffic hallways and entryways — the 20 mil wear layer resists scuffs and everyday wear.
  • Pet households — a waterproof, floating floor stands up to accidents and everyday paw traffic better than a soft surface.
  • Homes with radiant heat — compatible with hydronic and embedded radiant systems, kept at or below 85°F at the floor surface.
  • Rental properties and quick turnarounds — the floating click-lock system installs fast with no glue or nails.

Choosing a color from The Pacific Oak Collection

Lighter, warmer tones tend to open up a room with limited natural light or lighter cabinetry, while the deeper browns and the medium grey ground a larger, brighter space and pair well with contrasting trim. Because screens shift color, bring your cabinet or paint sample with you and view a physical swatch in daylight and under your own lighting at our Santa Clara showroom before ordering.

Frequently asked questions about The Pacific Oak Collection

Is the Pacific Oak Collection waterproof enough for a bathroom?
Yes. The SPC stone-polymer core is genuinely waterproof with no time limit on standing water, unlike a laminate or engineered wood core. Still install it per the manufacturer guidelines, including the mandatory 6-mil vapor barrier over a concrete subfloor.
Can I install this collection over radiant heat?
Yes, the Pacific Oak Collection is compatible with hydronic and embedded radiant heat systems, as long as the floor’s surface temperature never exceeds 85°F.
Can I install these planks myself?
Most homeowners can. It’s a floating, angle-drop click-lock floor with no glue or nails — start left to right and stagger end joints by at least 6″. The subfloor needs to be clean, dry, and flat within 3/16″ over 10 ft before you begin.
Do I need a moisture barrier over a concrete subfloor?
Yes, a 6-mil poly vapor barrier is mandatory over concrete for every installation of this collection, regardless of grade level.
How many boxes of the Pacific Oak Collection do I need?
Each carton covers 23.73 sq ft. Measure your room, add roughly 10% for cuts and waste, and divide by 23.73 to get the carton count — or bring your room dimensions to our Santa Clara showroom and we’ll help you order the right amount.
