Buckwheat PPSPC2020 — Paradigm Performer 20MIL SPC, 6mm, 9-inch

Real-world rooms demand real-world floors. Buckwheat delivers. Warm taupe brown with pronounced varied grain with prominent natural knots defines the look; 6mm SPC with a 20 mil wear layer defines the performance. 9-inch by 60-inch planks float over most existing hard surfaces with an angle-tap click — no adhesive required. The 100% waterproof core handles the water that sinks hardwood. On display now at Kapriz Hardwood Floors in Santa Clara, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean this floor?
Sweep or dry-mop Buckwheat regularly to remove dust and grit. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid steam mops, wax, and oil-based products — they can damage the wear layer or void the warranty.
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 Buckwheat order.
Is this floor pet-friendly?
Yes. Buckwheat’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratches from pet claws, and the 100% waterproof SPC core handles pet accidents without damage to the plank or subfloor.
Is this flooring good for high-traffic areas?
Yes. Buckwheat’s 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer stands up to foot traffic, pets, and dropped objects better than standard 12-mil residential wear layers. It’s rated for both residential and light commercial use.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Buckwheat 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.
