Quick Answer
What is Imperial Coffee?
Imperial Coffee is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor built around a rich coffee brown color, with a heavy-duty, 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 top of Imperial Coffee carries a 28 mil wear layer — equivalent to 0.71 mm — built for heavy residential use and many commercial applications, so you get outstanding resistance to scratches, scuffs, and long-term abrasion. The extra thickness gives it more long-term wear capacity than thinner layers.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Safe cleaners for Imperial Coffee's 28 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, Imperial Coffee shows a flowing cathedral grain that loops into soft, wandering figure down the center of each plank. Small knots sit scattered at a moderate spacing, with gentle board-to-board variation so no two lengths look stamped from the same die. The printed wood-look surface keeps the character understated -- present, but never busy or rustic.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Imperial Coffee'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?
Under midday window light Imperial Coffee lifts just enough to show its espresso and umber warmth, so the dark brown reads rich rather than heavy. Where the warm pendants take over, it deepens toward a near-black coffee tone that feels cozy instead of cold. Because it sits so deep and warm, it pairs easily with white or cream walls, black metal, and lighter wood-tone furniture that stand out against it.

Overview
Cocoa and umber run through Imperial Coffee, a muted coffee brown that reads rich and warm at once, with enough red-brown depth to keep it from going flat black. Flowing cathedral grain loops into soft, understated figure down each wide plank, and small knots scatter at a moderate spacing for gentle character rather than rustic busyness. In an open, loft-style workspace Imperial Coffee warms the room without shouting, giving black seating and wood-tone tables a rich floor to sit on.
A deep espresso-brown floor that brings quiet warmth to a hard-edged loft.
