Quick Answer

What is Bourbon Maple?

Bourbon Maple is a rigid, wood-look WPC floor in a rich bourbon brown deepened by russet tone, with a thick, heavy-wear surface for a durable, easy-care finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Powder-room splashes, daily wet feet, and towel drops wipe up without harm when cleaned promptly. Indoor use only — not for installation inside showers or wet rooms, and outdoor installation is not approved.

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

The construction includes a 30 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.76 mm — intended for heavy residential use and many commercial applications, offering exceptional protection against scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear. The extra thickness gives it more long-term wear capacity than thinner layers.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Kitchen stress test: dropped cutlery, pans slid from oven to counter, refrigerator casters, and dishwasher spray — Bourbon Maple's 30 mil wear layer and finish handle the spills, dropped pots, and dragged stools of daily kitchen use, and wipe clean with a vinyl-safe cleaner.

What does the plank surface look like?

Up close, Bourbon Maple shows a tight, flowing grain made of fine straight lines that run the board's full length. Here and there a gentle cathedral figure arches up through the streaks, and a soft ribbon of figure crosses from one plank to the next, so the boards relate to each other instead of looking stamped and identical. Knots are sparse and pin-sized — the occasional small mark that adds a bit of character without breaking up the clean, even flow. The surface print stays consistent plank to plank over the WPC rigid core, so the overall floor looks orderly rather than busy.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Bourbon Maple's factory-attached 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 — Bourbon Maple carries GREENGUARD Gold certification, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

Bourbon Maple was photographed in a window-lit living room under warm ambient light in the evening, and that setting suits it. Evening light pulls the amber up in this brown, so the floor feels cozy and a little richer than it looks at midday, while the daytime window light keeps it from going too dark. It is a warm medium brown, which means it leans into cream, off-white, and soft neutrals rather than fighting them, and it reads as calm and steady — comfortable in a formal room without feeling cold. If your living room gets strong afternoon sun, keep the floor out of prolonged direct sunlight so the tone stays even over time.

Overview

A warm amber depth runs through Bourbon Maple, giving the color a cognac-brown richness that reads deeper the longer you look at it. Long, fine grain streaks give the boards a calm, linear look, broken now and then by a small pin knot. The overall effect is refined and cozy — a medium brown with enough warmth to suit a formal living room without turning heavy or dark. In the photographed space it pairs with cream upholstery and dark wood-tone furniture, its warm brown reading as a natural fit against both. For a room you want to keep looking classic for years, Bourbon Maple is backed by a lifetime residential warranty, so it can stay in place through changing decor.

Bourbon Maple is a deep, amber-warmed brown that keeps a formal room feeling both classic and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Bourbon Maple appears in a transitional living room styled in a traditional look. A cream sofa sits over the floor with a low coffee table in front of it, and a dark wood-tone sideboard lines one wall, its deeper brown echoing the darker streaks in the planks. A white marble fireplace is the focal point, and its cool white plays off the warm floor so neither one flattens the other. Framed landscape art, a single potted plant, and a few throw pillows keep the room feeling collected and lived-in. Underfoot, Bourbon Maple ties the cream, white, and dark-brown pieces together without pulling attention away from them.
Will it match my cabinets?
There are no kitchen cabinets in this living-room scene, but the dark wood-tone sideboard along the wall is a good guide for pairing. Bourbon Maple is a warm medium brown, so a darker wood-tone cabinet reads as a deliberate contrast against it rather than a near-miss, the way the sideboard does here. If you want less contrast, mid-brown or warm-toned cabinets in the same family sit comfortably with the floor, while crisp white or cream cabinets give you the cool-against-warm play the marble fireplace already shows. Very cool gray cabinets are the one pairing to approach carefully, since they can make the floor's warmth look orange by comparison.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
This floor was shot in a room with real window light, but Bourbon Maple also suits a windowless basement. Warm medium browns fare better than pale or cool colors in low light — without daylight, a cool floor can look flat and gray, while Bourbon Maple keeps its amber warmth under lamps and overhead fixtures. Warm ambient light, like the evening light in the photos, brings out the deeper cognac tones, so a basement lit with warm bulbs will read cozy rather than dim. Add a few light-colored rugs or furnishings if you want to keep the space from feeling too enclosed.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Yes. The photographed room keeps it simple with a single statement plant, and that restraint suits Bourbon Maple. Green foliage looks especially fresh set against the floor's warm brown, and one large plant in a pale or terracotta pot stands out cleanly against the deeper tone instead of getting lost. To keep the surface looking its best, set the pot on a protective saucer or pad, blot any overflow promptly, and clean with a neutral-pH floor cleaner rather than a mop-and-shine product. Grouped smaller plants work too, though the room's one-plant look keeps the focus on the fireplace and the floor.
