Quick Answer

What is Amber?

Amber is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor built around a soft color, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Everyday spills, pet accidents, and mop water won't swell, warp, or delaminate the planks when wiped up promptly; standing water should still be cleaned up quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation; test the subfloor for moisture before installing.

How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?

Amber is protected by a 20 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.50 mm — built for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, giving you excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a common step-up in wear-layer thickness, where the extra protection starts to matter.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Amber's 20 mil wear layer and finish are rated for pet claws, chair legs, dragged furniture, and heavy daily traffic — the scratch resistance that matters in kitchens, entryways, and pet households where foot and paw traffic concentrates.

What does the plank surface look like?

Each Amber plank shows a flowing straight grain with cathedral figure arching down the middle. A tight oval eye knot sits mid-board, with smaller knots scattered toward the top and bottom and fine mineral flecks following the grain lines. The print runs board to board with gentle variation, so no two planks look identical across a floor. The surface is a wood-look print protected by a 20 mil wear layer that resists everyday scuffs and scratches.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Amber's factory-attached 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Amber carries FloorScore, GREENGUARD Gold, CARB Phase 2, Zero Formaldehyde, EPA TSCA Title VI, Lacey Act, FSC certifications, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

Amber reads as a bright, warm light tone, so it opens up a room rather than darkening it. The gentle board-to-board variation and scattered knots give it a relaxed, rustic character that pairs easily with pale or off-white walls, wood-tone furniture, and a mix of cool and warm accents. In Bay Area light it leans golden under afternoon sun and stays soft and neutral-warm on grey, foggy mornings.

Overview

Amber is a light, warm multi-tone shade with a soft, balanced undertone that reads bright and natural across a board. Its printed wood-look surface follows a flowing straight grain, with cathedral figure arcing down the center and gentle variation from board to board. A tight oval eye knot sits mid-plank, smaller knots scatter toward the ends, and fine mineral flecks trace the grain, so the Amber look stays lively without turning busy. Each plank measures 9 by 60 inches in the Gemstone Collection's 6.5mm build, with a 20 mil wear layer over the print and a rigid SPC core that is waterproof through and through. A 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad comes factory-attached to soften footsteps. That mix of warm tone and easy upkeep suits busy spaces such as kitchens, entryways, hallways, and open living areas.

A warm, lively light shade that keeps everyday rooms feeling bright and natural.

Frequently asked questions

Will it match my cabinets?
Amber's warm honeyed beige is an easy match for natural, lived-in kitchens. Its light multi-tone base shifts from pale cream to soft honey plank to plank, so it pairs comfortably with white and off-white cabinets while staying warm enough to sit alongside wood-tone or greige-painted fronts. Against crisp white cabinetry the gentle variation keeps the floor from reading flat; with warmer cabinets it blends rather than competes.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
In a windowless room or basement, Amber's light, warm base helps the space feel open because it reflects light rather than absorbing it. The multi-tone character reads a touch warmer under incandescent bulbs and stays honeyed under cooler LEDs, so layered lighting keeps the plank-to-plank variation looking intentional rather than patchy where daylight is scarce.
