Frequently Asked Questions
What subfloor types are compatible?
Amber can be installed over concrete, plywood, OSB, and most existing hard floors. The subfloor must be flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet. Fill low spots and grind high points before installing.
Is this floor scratch resistant?
Yes. Amber features a 20 mil Ceramic Bead Coating wear layer rated AC4 for abrasion resistance — protecting against everyday scratches and scuffs.
Can I install this floor myself?
Yes. Amber uses a Uniclic glueless floating click system designed for DIY installation. No adhesive required. A basic tool set and a flat subfloor are all you need.
Does this floor need an underlayment?
No separate underlayment is needed. Amber has a 1.5mm IXPE anti-microbial acoustic underlayment already attached. Simply float it over a prepared subfloor.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Amber is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water or moisture exposure — making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
