Quick Answer
What is Ellen?
Ellen is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor built around a warm honey gold color, 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 top of Ellen carries a 20 mil wear layer — measuring about 0.51 mm — made for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, so you get excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. That's a step above the standard-duty wear layers.
Will it hold up to daily life?
Kitchen stress test: dropped cutlery, pans slid from oven to counter, refrigerator casters, and dishwasher spray — Ellen'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?
Up close, Ellen shows tight parallel grain lines running the length of each plank, with soft cathedral arches rising through the field. Small knots turn up now and then at a moderate spacing, small enough to read as texture rather than character marks. The figure stays steady from board to board, so the printed wood-look surface stays consistent across a wide floor.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Ellen's factory-attached EVA acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.
Will this color work in my room?
Ellen's honey gold reads brightest under daylight, where the amber undertone warms the floor without tipping it orange. As the light drops toward dusk and the under-cabinet glow takes over, it deepens a shade to a softer golden tone. It pairs cleanly with pale walls and light wood-tone accents.

Overview
Ellen runs a warm honey gold, with soft amber undertones that keep it bright rather than yellow. Long straight grain and even cathedral arches move steadily across every board, broken only by the odd small knot. In a modern coastal kitchen Ellen reads open and sun-washed, an easy match for light cabinetry and walnut bar stools.
Ellen brings a bright, honey-gold warmth that keeps a coastal kitchen feeling open and sunlit.
