Chivalry Rustic Waterproof SPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Chivalry?

Chivalry is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor in a warm greige-brown at a medium-dark value shade, 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 — approximately 0.51 mm — recommended for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.

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. Chivalry 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?

Close up, the plank surface shows long cathedral figures that sweep and flow rather than arch tightly, with fine mineral streaking and a few small scattered knots for character. It is a printed surface, so the sweeping grain stays even and clean across the floor, an easy match board to board.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Chivalry's factory-attached 1.5mm 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 — Chivalry 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 bright, window-lit entryway Chivalry's greige-brown reads light and airy, its smoky undertone keeping the warmth soft rather than sweet. Step into a darker interior hall and the same floor deepens and cools slightly. It works with white trim, black accents, and cool stone, bridging warm and cool schemes with ease.
