Cashew Medium Beige Waterproof SPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Cashew?

Cashew is a wood-look SPC floor in a greige beige tone, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Unlike engineered hardwood or laminate, surface spills don't soak in, and the rigid core won't cup or buckle. Wipe up spills and pet accidents promptly and don't leave standing water. Not approved for outdoor installation.

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

This floor has a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.51 mm — well suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, so you get excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a step up from the standard-duty wear layers in everyday durability.

Will it hold up to daily life?

What 20 mil typically means in real homes: many years of everyday household use without visible wear-through. Cashew in heavy-traffic zones (kitchen, entry) works hardest and shows the first signs soonest; quieter rooms like bedrooms keep their look longest.

What does the plank surface look like?

Cashew keeps its detail subtle up close. Soft cathedral arches open across each board, marked by small knots with dark centers and faint mineral streaking along the grain. Figure variation is quiet from plank to plank, so the finished floor reads smooth and restful rather than busy, in keeping with a calm bedroom.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Cashew's factory-attached 1mm EVA 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 — Cashew carries FloorScore 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?

In the warm ambient, evening light of this bedroom, with the cove-lit headboard glowing, Cashew reads soft and calm, its balanced tone turning gently warm without going gold. That even balance is its strength after dark; under bright daylight it lifts and reads a touch cooler and cleaner. It suits a bedroom that shifts from morning light to lamp-lit night, staying easy on the eye at either end.
