Quick Answer
What is Impala?
Impala is a wood-look SPC floor built around a warm golden-tan color, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. Kitchen reality — dropped pots, splashes, and daily mop-and-go cleaning — won't faze the planks, as long as you wipe spills up promptly and dry any standing water. Not approved for outdoor installation; test the subfloor for moisture before installing.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
Impala is protected by a 20 mil wear layer — which works out to 0.50 mm — designed for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.
Will it hold up to daily life?
Dog nails, cat claws, litter grit, water-bowl splash — Impala's 20 mil wear layer and UV-cured ceramic bead (EnduraPro) finish resist the scratches and scuffs a pet household puts on a floor, whereas a thinner LVT wear layer marks more easily.
What does the plank surface look like?
Each Impala plank shows an open cathedral grain with repeated peaks running the length of the board, dotted with scattered small knots and fine grain flecking across a smooth printed surface. The figure is gentle and even rather than dramatic, so boards sit together with a calm, consistent rhythm and let the warm golden-tan tone lead.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
The IXPE antimicrobial sound-deadening acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Impala is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.
Is it safe for indoor air?
Yes — Impala carries FloorScore, GREENGUARD Gold certifications, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.
Will this color work in my room?
Impala leans warm and light, so it opens up a space and pairs easily with off-white and soft neutral walls, natural wood-tone cabinetry, and casual furniture. The golden-tan tone is forgiving in busy rooms, hiding everyday crumbs and footprints better than a stark pale floor, and it stays warm and inviting from bright midday light through the softer light of late afternoon.

Overview
Impala is a warm golden-tan wood-look floor with a soft amber glow that keeps a light, bright read across a room. The print runs an open cathedral grain with repeated peaks down each board, scattered small knots, and fine grain flecking over a smooth printed surface, so the boards carry gentle, lived-in character without busy contrast. Built on a rigid stone polymer composite core, Impala stays dimensionally stable and waterproof against topical spills that are wiped up promptly, and the 20 mil wear layer with its UV-cured ceramic-bead finish stands up to the scuffs of daily life. That combination makes Impala a natural fit for the rooms that take the most traffic in an open layout, dining and kitchen zones especially, where you want warmth underfoot and a surface that can be swept clean and mopped with a pH-neutral cleaner.
A bright golden-tan that brings warmth to the busiest, hardest-working rooms in an open floor plan.
