Quick Answer

What is Cashmere?

Cashmere is a wood-look WPC floor in a greige taupe shade, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. The rigid core stands up to everyday surface water — spills, mop water, pet accidents — without swelling or delaminating when wiped up promptly. It won't substitute for fixing a standing leak; dry the floor and the source quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation; keep the subfloor dry before and during install.

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

The surface is topped by a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.51 mm — intended for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, providing 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?

Minor scratches on Cashmere stay low-visibility — faint surface marks rather than the bright white scuff lines a glossy floor shows. The 20 mil wear layer hides minor wear within the printed grain pattern — low visibility, not just high durability.

What does the plank surface look like?

Look closely and the plank surface stays serene: long vertical grain runs almost uninterrupted, with faint fissure lines, a subtle ribbon of tonal variation, and barely a knot in sight. The printed surface keeps that clean, quiet figure even underfoot, the calm you see is by design.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Cashmere is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Cashmere 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 room's soft, even daylight Cashmere reads as a warm, restful neutral, its greige side keeping the taupe from turning pink or sweet. Under brighter light it lifts pale and airy; in a dim room it deepens to a gentle mushroom tone. It is the definition of a go-with-everything floor, pairing with cream, sage, black, and natural textures without a hint of friction.

Overview

Cashmere is a warm greige taupe with a soft, mellow-brown depth, a gentle, easy neutral rather than a statement. Its grain is quiet and refined: long, uninterrupted vertical figure with faint fissure lines and only the smallest pin knots, so the surface reads smooth and ribbon-like from board to board. The photographed living room is modern-organic and calm, a rounded cream sofa, a low table, a woven throw, and an abstract wall sculpture against soft warm-white walls. As a wood-look plank on a rigid, fully waterproof core, Cashmere brings that serene look with real durability, staying unbothered by spills and daily traffic, and the attached pad gives the room a soft, quiet step. FloorScore certification means the calm comes with clean, low-VOC air.

A soft greige taupe with quiet ribbon grain: a serene, easy neutral that lets a room breathe.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
The photo shows Cashmere in a modern-organic living room: a rounded cream sofa and accent chair around a low table, styled with a dried branch, a woven throw, and a sculptural black wall piece. Soft warm-white walls keep it airy, and the greige-taupe floor lets those organic shapes and textures take center stage.
Will it match my cabinets?
Cashmere is photographed against soft white, and white or off-white cabinetry is its most natural match, keeping the whole scheme light and seamless. It is just as happy with sage, greige, or pale wood-tone cabinets, and its neutrality even lets a dramatic black or navy cabinet stand out cleanly.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
In a windowless room Cashmere is one of the safer neutrals: it stays soft and warm under lamplight rather than turning grey, especially with slightly warm bulbs. Its quiet grain adds a whisper of texture so a low-lit space still feels finished, not flat.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Even the single dried branch in the photo looks intentional against Cashmere, and live greenery does even more: the soft greige-taupe makes fresh leaves and stems read clean and bright. A potted olive tree or trailing pothos would feel effortless on these calm boards.
