Westwood Collection — 7.5mm Waterproof SPC (Republic Floor)

The Westwood Collection is Republic Floor’s SPC line at Kapriz, built on a 7.5mm SPC (Stone Polymer Core) with a 20 mil wear layer for genuinely waterproof, heavy-traffic performance. Each 7″ x 48″ plank locks together with an angle-drop click-lock system and ships with a 1.5mm Bioguardian anti-bacterial acoustic EVA pad pre-attached, so no separate underlayment is needed for a standard installation. The collection is FloorScore certified and backed by a 25 Years Residential / 10 Years Commercial warranty, and it comes in 3 colors spanning golden-honey, medium beige, and rustic multi-tone shades. All three Westwood colors are available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Westwood Collection

Westwood’s three colors move across a warm, livable range rather than clustering in one tone family. Greystone leads with a golden honey warmth and a gentle amber glow, well suited to bright, sunlit rooms. Beverly Glen sits in the middle as a warm greige with soft taupe undertones, a flexible neutral that pairs with most cabinetry. Platinum anchors the dark end with a deep warm brown softened by muted taupe, ideal for a cozier, more grounded look.

Best uses for Westwood Collection

• Kitchens and bathrooms — the 100% waterproof SPC core and click-lock seams handle spills and everyday moisture without special sealing.
• Basements and below-grade rooms — rated for above, on, and below grade installation, with a mandatory 6-mil vapor barrier required over concrete.
• Homes with pets or heavy foot traffic — the 20 mil wear layer resists scratches and scuffs from claws, kids, and daily use.
• Rooms with hydronic or embedded radiant heat — compatible as long as the floor’s surface temperature stays at or below 85 degrees F.
• Rental properties and busy households — the pre-attached acoustic pad and floating click-lock install simplify upkeep and future replacement.

Choosing a color from the Westwood Collection

Match Westwood’s tone to the room’s light and cabinetry: Greystone’s golden warmth brightens north-facing or low-light rooms, Beverly Glen’s neutral greige works with almost any cabinet color, and Platinum’s deep brown grounds an open-concept space without feeling heavy. Because SPC color and sheen can read differently under different lighting, view a physical sample at our Santa Clara showroom before ordering a full carton.

Frequently asked questions about the Westwood Collection

Is the Westwood Collection safe to install in bathrooms?

Yes. Westwood’s SPC core is 100% waterproof for topical spills and everyday moisture, and the angle-drop click-lock seams do not require sealant. Standard installation guidelines, including the 6-mil vapor barrier over concrete, still apply.

Can I install Westwood over radiant heat?

Yes. Westwood is compatible with hydronic and embedded radiant systems as long as the floor’s surface temperature never exceeds 85 degrees F.

Do I need to add underlayment?

No. Every Westwood plank ships with a 1.5mm Bioguardian anti-bacterial acoustic EVA pad pre-attached, and additional underlayment is not permitted except for the mandatory 6-mil moisture barrier required over concrete subfloors.

Can I install Westwood myself?

Yes. Westwood is a floating, click-lock floor — no glue or nails — and installs over plywood, OSB, concrete (above, on, or below grade), or an existing fully-adhered hard-surface floor.
