Dover Light Brown Waterproof SPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Dover?

Dover is a wood-look SPC floor in a honeyed tan warmed by mellow amber shade, with a thick, high-traffic 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?

The plank features a 20 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.51 mm — suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Dover'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?

Up close the Dover planks are full of character, with tight cathedral grain, fine striping, and numerous small knots and dark flecks running across the boards. That busy, knotty figure gives the printed surface a rustic depth that a plainer floor lacks.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Dover'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 — Dover 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 living room's soft daylight and track spots, Dover reads as a warm golden tan, its amber depth keeping it warm and steady next to the black marble. Low light deepens the tan and brings the dark flecks forward; bright daylight lifts the honey. It is a warm counterweight to a dark, dramatic room.
