Kailua Dark Brown Waterproof WPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Kailua?

Kailua is a wood-look WPC floor in a warm brown tone, 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?

Kailua features a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — appropriate for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, so you get excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It sits at the thicker, harder-wearing end of the range.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Kitchen stress test: dropped cutlery, pans slid from oven to counter, refrigerator casters, and dishwasher spray — Kailua'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?

A Kailua plank shows flowing cathedral grain with long ribbon streaks sweeping the length of the board, soft arches, and sparse small knots. The signature is the tonal variation from plank to plank, some boards lighter and some deeper, and the printed surface sits over a rigid core. Laid out, that variation reads as a warm, rustic floor that looks collected and characterful rather than machine-even.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Kailua's factory-attached 1mm IXPE 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 — Kailua 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?

In the warm afternoon daylight of the photographed room, Kailua's light-and-dark plank variation reads at its liveliest, the warm brown glowing beside warm wood-tone shelving and window frames. The natural daylight brings out the ribbon streaks and the shift from board to board. Come evening, by the glow of a wood-burning stove, the same floor draws down into a cozy, mellow brown that suits a room built for slow nights.
