Description
Flax PPSPC2025 — Paradigm Performer 20MIL SPC, 6mm, 9-inch
Warmth in the warm sandy beige. Quiet movement in the natural flowing grain with subtle knots and soft character marks. That’s Flax — a 6mm SPC floor engineered to match looks with longevity. The 20 mil wear layer protects 9-inch by 60-inch planks from scratches, dents, and high-traffic fatigue. 100% waterproof SPC core means no warping, no swelling, no delaminating — even in damp environments. Pre-attached cork underlayment softens every step. Visit Kapriz Hardwood Floors in Santa Clara, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on this floor?
Flax is backed by Paradigm’s Lifetime Residential warranty — covering the floor for as long as you own your home — plus a 15-Year Commercial warranty for high-traffic installations.
How do I get this flooring?
You can pick up your order at our Santa Clara showroom at 891 Laurelwood Rd, Suite 101, or we deliver to homes within a 60-mile radius of Santa Clara. We also ship nationwide. Call or text us to arrange pickup, delivery, or shipping for your Flax order.
Will it scratch from pets or furniture?
Flax’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratches from pet claws and furniture legs better than most standard LVP. For extended life, use felt pads under heavy furniture and trim pet nails regularly.
How much expansion gap is needed?
Flax requires a 1/4-inch expansion gap at all walls, fixed cabinets, and pipes. This gap lets the SPC planks flex with minor temperature changes without buckling or gapping.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Flax is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Solid Polymer Core) rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water or moisture exposure — making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
