Quick Answer

What is Cleo?

Cleo is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in an auburn-tinged warm red-brown shade, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Day-to-day life — a dropped glass, a pet bowl, a tracked-in puddle — wipes up without swelling or delamination when cleaned promptly; standing water should not be left to sit. Outdoor use is not approved.

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

Cleo features a 20 mil wear layer — measuring about 0.50 mm — ideal for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, giving you excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a common step-up in wear-layer thickness, where the extra protection starts to matter.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Cleo's 20 mil wear layer: vinyl-safe cleaners, damp microfiber mops, vacuum on hard-floor setting. The finish rules out abrasive scrubbers, bleach, ammonia, and solvent-based cleaners — these dull the wear layer permanently.

What does the plank surface look like?

The Cleo plank surface shows open cathedral grain, with long sweeping arches running the length of each board and fine pinpoint flecks scattered through the figure. The variation is gentle and there are no knots, so the boards stay clean and flowing instead of busy. The printed surface is smooth and protected by a UV-cured ceramic-bead finish over a 20 mil wear layer, so what you see is an even, low-fuss wood-look texture rather than a heavily distressed one.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Cleo's factory-attached IXPE antimicrobial sound-deadening 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 — Cleo carries FloorScore, GREENGUARD Gold certifications, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

Because Cleo sits in the warm middle of the range, it works in most rooms without fighting your other finishes. Under soft daylight the auburn reads rich and a touch redder; in cooler or more even light it reads as a calm medium brown. It pairs comfortably with cream and oatmeal upholstery, tan leather, and rust accents, and it gives a warm-cream wall or built-in something grounded to sit against. If your room runs cool and grey, expect Cleo to add the warmth back rather than disappear into it.

Overview

Cleo is a warm reddish brown with a deep auburn undertone, a medium-toned wood-look print laid over a rigid SPC stone-polymer core. Across each board you get open cathedral grain that sweeps into long, flowing arches, broken up by fine pinpoint flecks and gentle figure variation on a smooth printed surface. There are no knots to interrupt the run, so the boards read as clean and continuous rather than rustic. That warm, even read makes Cleo a natural fit for a relaxed, modern-organic living room or family room, and the 20 mil wear layer with its UV-cured ceramic-bead finish lets it handle the daily traffic those rooms see.

A warm auburn-brown floor with sweeping cathedral grain and a clean, knot-free surface that suits an easy, modern-organic living room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Installed across a full floor, Cleo reads as a warm, continuous reddish brown with its cathedral arches drawing the eye down the length of the room. In a modern-organic living room it suits a curved cream sectional, a live-edge coffee table, and a tan-leather sling chair, with rust pillows and a single potted tree picking up the auburn warmth in the floor. The knot-free surface keeps the overall look calm and uncluttered, so Cleo frames the furniture without competing with it.
Will it match my cabinets?
Cleo pairs easily with warm-toned cabinetry and built-ins. In its own room it runs alongside warm-cream built-in shelving, and that pale, warm cabinet color lets the auburn-brown floor read as the richer element in the space. The same logic holds elsewhere: creamy off-white or soft warm-wood-tone cabinets let Cleo bring the warmth, while a crisp white set gives a cleaner contrast against it. Steer clear of cool grey cabinets if you want the red undertone to stay lively rather than muted.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Cleo's vision room is filled with natural daylight, where the auburn undertone reads at its warmest and richest. Take that same floor into a darker or windowless space, such as a basement, and the medium tone will read a step deeper and quieter, with the red pulling back toward a calm brown. Warm-toned lighting helps Cleo keep its auburn character below grade; cool, bluish bulbs will flatten it, so favor warmer bulbs in a low-light room.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Cleo works naturally with greenery. Its room is styled with a single potted tree, and that one statement plant is enough to set living green against the warm reddish brown of the floor. The earthy, auburn tone is a friendly backdrop for foliage, so a few leafy plants read as a deliberate accent rather than clutter. Just use a saucer or a felt-bottomed stand under heavy pots and wipe up any overflow promptly, since standing water should not be left on the surface.
