Quick Answer

What is Dove?

Dove is a waterproof, wood-look WPC floor in a warm amber-lit chocolate brown shade, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical 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?

The top of Dove carries a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — made for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It sits at the thicker, harder-wearing end of the range.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Dove'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 Dove plank is all controlled movement: tight swirling ribbon grain flows down the board, with sharp dark knots dropped in to break the rhythm. Board-to-board the figure shifts noticeably, so a floor of Dove has genuine motion across it. The knots are small but high-contrast, giving the smooth chocolate surface its punctuation.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Dove's factory-attached 1mm IXPE 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 — Dove 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?

Flooded with bright daylight from a floor-to-ceiling window, Dove's chocolate depth lightens just enough to show its amber core, so the floor never reads as a flat dark brown. In a high-rise that sun moves across the day and Dove moves with it, warmer at midday and deeper toward evening. It is a confident anchor for a cool urban palette of taupe, charcoal, and black, adding warmth without softening the edge.

Overview

Dove is a rich chocolate brown with warm amber depth, a deeper and more urbane read than the mid-browns around it. Its grain swirls, with tight ribbon figure, strong flowing movement, and sharp dark knots that punctuate the pattern. That combination of depth and movement gives Dove a polished, city-apartment feel, at home under bright daylight and floor-to-ceiling glass. Wide planks let the swirling figure stretch out against a modern, pared-back scheme. The wood-look surface covers a waterproof rigid core, which is what lets a floor this refined also shrug off a knocked-over glass.

Deep chocolate brown with swirling grain and sharp knots, an urbane floor for glass-and-brick interiors.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed apartment Dove runs beneath a low modular sofa and bench, lit by a floor-to-ceiling city-view window and a soft mushroom lamp. A charcoal media console, a potted palm, and framed art sit against white walls broken by an exposed-brick accent. The chocolate floor is the warm base under all that cool taupe, brown, and black, and it makes the high-rise scheme feel lived-in rather than austere.
Will it match my cabinets?
Dove holds its own against dark, moody cabinetry; beside a charcoal console or near-black units the chocolate floor adds warmth so the dark elements do not merge into shadow. Against white or brick it reads richer still. Keep companion millwork simple and let Dove's swirling grain carry the detail.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Dove works in a basement for anyone who wants depth rather than lightness underground. The chocolate-amber brown stays rich under artificial light, and the swirling grain and dark knots give low light plenty to catch. Warm bulbs bring up the amber; cool white light emphasizes the chocolate. It is a deeper floor, so pair it with good lighting to keep the room from feeling closed in.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Yes. Dove was shown with a potted palm, and its deep chocolate base makes green foliage pop. The plank is FloorScore certified for low indoor emissions, which suits a plant-filled apartment you spend real time in. Wipe up any water around the pots and the surface stays pristine.
