Look first at greige weathered wood and varied linear grain with subtle weathering and tonal variation. That’s Berkshire Elm — a floor that reads as calm, considered, and effortlessly balanced. Built on a 5.2mm SPC construction reinforced with a 20 mil wear layer across 9-inch by 72-inch planks, it delivers the stability serious floors demand. The 100% waterproof SPC core stands up to spills, humidity, and damp subfloors — safe for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on this floor?
Berkshire Elm is backed by COREtec Pro’s Lifetime Residential warranty — covering the floor for as long as you own your home — plus a 15-Year Heavy Commercial warranty for high-traffic installations.
How do I get this flooring?
You can pick up your order at our Santa Clara showroom at 891 Laurelwood Rd, Suite 101, or we deliver to homes within a 60-mile radius of Santa Clara. We also ship nationwide. Call or text us to arrange pickup, delivery, or shipping for your Berkshire Elm order.
Will it scratch from pets or furniture?
Berkshire Elm’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratches from pet claws and furniture legs better than most standard LVP. For extended life, use felt pads under heavy furniture and trim pet nails regularly.
How much expansion gap is needed?
Berkshire Elm requires a 1/4-inch expansion gap at all walls, fixed cabinets, and pipes. This gap lets the SPC planks flex with minor temperature changes without buckling or gapping.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Berkshire Elm is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Solid Polymer Core) 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.
