Quick Answer

What is Dove?

Dove is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a brown tone, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Powder-room splashes, daily wet feet, and towel drops wipe up without harm when cleaned promptly. Indoor use only — not for installation inside showers or wet rooms, and outdoor installation is not approved.

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

The surface of Dove is finished with a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — well suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It sits at the thicker, harder-wearing end of the range.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Kitchen stress test: dropped cutlery, pans slid from oven to counter, refrigerator casters, and dishwasher spray — Dove's 20 mil wear layer and finish handle the spills, dropped pots, and dragged stools of daily kitchen use, and wipe clean with a vinyl-safe cleaner.

What does the plank surface look like?

The Dove plank flows: a long, swirling ribbon figure runs board to board with quiet arches and gentle grain waves between. Knotting is minimal - just the odd pin knot - and faint mineral streaks trace the swirls. The effect is calm and continuous, a moving grain that stays understated, well matched to a floor meant to read dark and quiet.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

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

Under the cool, overcast daylight of the photographed room Dove's olive-brown deepens, its muted warmth reading quiet and moody rather than bright. Grey, diffuse light suits it, drawing out the earthy green cast; warmer or stronger light would pull it back toward a straighter brown. Dove pairs naturally with slate blue, soft greys and the greens of a view or a plant.

Overview

Dove is an olive-toned brown - a muted, cooler take on brown that leans earthy rather than red. Its grain flows in long swirling ribbons with quiet arches between, so the 9-inch plank moves gently without ever getting loud. In a modern-minimalist living room wrapped in forest-view glazing, that olive-cast depth answers the greenery outside and gives a spare, moody palette its weight. Dove is a wood-look surface over a rigid stone-polymer core, printed so the muted brown stays even from plank to plank.

A moody, olive-toned brown with flowing ribbon grain for a minimalist, view-framed room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed living room Dove runs beneath a slate-blue modular sofa and matching ottoman drawn around a low wood-tone coffee table. Floor-length drapery frames floor-to-ceiling glazing that looks onto trees, and a potted tree brings the view indoors. The olive-brown floor ties the cool blue furniture to the green outside, giving the minimalist room a quiet, moody calm.
Will it match my cabinets?
Cabinetry isn't shown in the photo, but Dove's olive-toned brown gives you flexible pairings. Against white or pale-grey cabinets it reads as a moody, earthy contrast; with slate-blue or sage-green cabinetry it leans into its green cast for a soft, tonal look; warm wood-tone cabinets bring out the brown underneath.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
A windowless basement actually suits Dove: its muted, olive-dark brown is built to read moody, and it copes with low light better than a brighter brown would. Give it warm, layered lighting to keep the space from going flat, keep walls light for contrast, and the deep floor makes an intimate, den-like lower level.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Greenery is a natural match for Dove - the olive cast in the brown practically calls for it. The potted tree in the room reads beautifully against the floor, and broad-leaved or trailing plants in simple pots reinforce the earthy, view-led feel.
