Quick Answer

What is Lark?

Lark is a wood-look SPC floor in a warm greige-brown shade, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree 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?

The top of Lark carries a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.51 mm — ideal for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering 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 — Lark's 20 mil wear layer and 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?

The plank surface is where Lark shows its character: prominent cathedral peaks swirl and arch the length of each board with strong figure and clear board-to-board variation. Dark mineral streaks and scattered knots run through the printed grain, giving it a genuinely weathered, salvaged-timber look. It is a bold, textural read - grain you notice from across the room.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Lark 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 — Lark 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?

Under the flood of morning daylight through this room's many windows, Lark's weathered greige-brown stays rich and defined rather than washing out, its depth holding against soft white walls. In the evening or a shadier spot it reads deeper and moodier, closer to a worn, deep-brown tone. That range makes it a floor that anchors a pale room without ever feeling heavy-handed.

Overview

Lark carries a weathered undertone that gives its warm greige-brown a slightly aged, characterful depth. The grain is anything but quiet: prominent swirling cathedral arches sweep across the boards with strong, confident figure. Scattered knots and dark mineral streaks reinforce that rustic, reclaimed feel. Set in a bright Scandinavian room, Lark's deeper tone becomes the warm, steady base beneath an airy, pale palette.

A weathered greige-brown with bold, swirling grain - Lark grounds a light, airy Scandinavian room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Installed in this Scandinavian living room, Lark runs beneath a relaxed slipcovered sofa, a pair of accent chairs and a round coffee table, with dried sprigs and framed sketches keeping the styling light. The deeper greige-brown floor warms the soft white walls and chrome touches, giving the airy space a rich, steady base. Against so much pale furniture, Lark's weathered grain reads as the room's main dose of character.
Will it match my cabinets?
Lark's deeper, weathered tone is a strong partner for pale cabinetry - white, off-white or light greige, where the contrast lets the floor do the heavy lifting. It also holds its own with black or charcoal cabinets for a bolder look, and with natural wood-tones for a fully rustic scheme. Very light cabinets keep the room feeling open, which is how the Scandinavian setting uses it.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Because Lark is a deeper shade to begin with, it reads darker again in low light, so it suits basements that get some daylight or plenty of layered lighting. Its warm greige base keeps it from turning cold or muddy under dim bulbs, and warm-temperature lighting brings out the reddish-brown notes in the grain. In a truly dark room, pair it with light walls to keep the space from closing in.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
With many potted plants in this room, Lark proves an easy match - its weathered, earthy base makes green foliage look lush and deliberate. The rustic grain and living greenery share a natural, organic language, so a plant-filled corner feels rooted rather than busy. This is a floor that rewards a green thumb.
