Quick Answer

What is Baikal?

Baikal is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor in a soft whitewashed grey shade, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Baikal handles pet accidents, water-bowl spills, and tracked-in mud wiped up promptly without swelling. Clean up standing water quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation.

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

The plank features a 20 mil wear layer — roughly 0.51 mm thick — recommended for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, giving you excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. In everyday use, it's a step up from the standard-duty wear layers.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Baikal's 20 mil wear layer and Super Scratch & Stain Shield Tech™ Finish resist scratching and scuffing over years of use. It wipes clean with a vinyl-safe cleaner and a damp mop, and keeps the printed grain reading consistent across the floor.

What does the plank surface look like?

Up close the Baikal plank shows an open cathedral grain with pronounced vertical streaking that pulls the eye down the board. The figure is defined and confident, and small dark knots with fine fissures appear sparsely across the pale field, each one a subtle bit of character against the light grey. Real board-to-board variation keeps neighboring planks from matching too closely, so the printed surface reads like natural planking rather than a repeated tile.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Baikal'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 — Baikal carries FloorScore, GREENGUARD 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?

Under the cool overhead lighting and midday window light of a bright workspace, Baikal lifts and opens, bright and airy, the whitewashed cast reading almost silvery against the daylight. Because the grey is neutral rather than warm, it keeps its true color under both the daylight from the windows and the fixtures overhead instead of shifting green or yellow. It sits comfortably beside the soft sage and cream walls of the room, cool enough to feel crisp but never cold, so the whole space stays light and productive.

Overview

Open cathedral grain runs the length of every Baikal plank, its strong vertical flow and defined figure giving the pale surface real movement rather than a flat wash of color. The shade itself is a cool, whitewashed grey with a soft neutral cast that never tips warm or blue, so it reads clean and quiet underfoot. Fine dark knots and hairline fissures surface here and there, sparse and small, keeping the look natural without breaking the calm. Board to board the tone shifts just enough to feel like real planking, which is why Baikal suits bright, open workspaces and light-filled rooms where you want the floor to recede and let everything else stand out. In a wide 9-inch plank it stretches a room visually and holds up to the traffic a busy office puts on it.

A cool, whitewashed grey that keeps a busy room feeling calm and uncluttered.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed office the Baikal floor stretches beneath clustered workstation pods, mesh task chairs rolling over it and open shelving lining the walls. Grey desk cabinets sit close to the floor's own tone, while soft sage and cream walls and a whiteboard keep the palette light, and desktop plants add green throughout. It is a modern, contemporary-commercial space, and the pale grey planks tie the busy, open layout together without competing with any of it.
Will it match my cabinets?
Baikal is an easy match for grey cabinetry like the desk cabinets in this room, sitting in the same cool, neutral family so the two read as one continuous palette. It pairs just as well with white or off-white cabinets, which read crisp against the whitewashed grey, and it gives painted greens or soft sages a clean, quiet floor to stand on.
Will it still look this bright in a windowless basement?
In a windowless basement or a low-light room, Baikal reads a shade deeper and softer, its cool grey settling toward a muted, dovelike tone without ever going dark. Because the color is light to begin with, it keeps a below-grade room from feeling closed in, and a few warm lamps or bright overhead fixtures bring the whitewashed cast back up.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Baikal works beautifully with indoor plants, and the photographed office leans into it with greenery on nearly every desk and shelf. The pale, neutral grey acts as a plain backdrop that makes leaf green look vivid, so trailing pothos, small potted succulents, and a larger floor plant all read fresh against the floor rather than washing out.
