Quick Answer

What is Laval?

Laval is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a light blonde shade, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Stable against concrete-slab humidity and seasonal moisture variation, so Laval suits below-grade rooms once the slab passes a moisture test; clean up standing water promptly. Not approved for outdoor installation.

How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?

This floor has a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.50 mm — ideal for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. A common step-up point where the extra thickness starts to matter.

Will it hold up to daily life?

At 20 mil, Laval's wear layer sits on the thicker end for residential flooring, which is why it stands up well to heavy day-to-day use. The 8mm construction adds rigidity underfoot, so the floor handles busy rooms without showing wear quickly.

What does the plank surface look like?

Each Laval plank shows long, uninterrupted grain lines with a quiet cathedral figure and gentle variation from board to board. There are no knots and few character marks, so the pattern stays clean and consistent across a floor. The wood-look grain is printed, which keeps that consistency even over a large open area.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1.5mm IXPE anti-microbial acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Laval is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.

Will this color work in my room?

Because Laval is so light and warm, it does its best work in rooms with good light. Under the bright midday sun of the room we shot, the golden-beige warmth lifts and the floor looks fresh and open; in a lower-light or north-facing room the same shade reads a touch softer and creamier but stays warm rather than cold. It pairs naturally with white and pale walls and with warm metal accents like brushed gold.

Overview

Laval is a very light blonde with a soft golden-beige warmth, among the lighter, airier blonde tones. The boards read clean and open: long, uninterrupted grain lines with a quiet, tight cathedral figure and no knots to break the flow, printed across wide planks. In the modern minimalist living room we photographed, bright midday sun pours through the windows and Laval turns it back into the space, so the whole room feels larger and calmer. It sits easily under a white sectional and brushed-gold accents, and it suits open lounges, entryways, and any bright room where you want the floor to recede and the light to lead. It is a wood-look floor, so the grain is printed rather than sawn, which keeps the pattern even from board to board.

Laval is the floor you choose when you want the light, not the floor, to lead the room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the room we photographed, Laval runs under a low white sectional and a brushed-gold coffee table, with geometric pillows and a linear fireplace along one wall and light wood-tone panelling behind. Against those cool whites and warm metal, the golden-beige floor keeps the modern space feeling bright and calm without pulling attention from the furniture. Wide planks and long grain lines make the open living room look larger and more continuous.
Will it match my cabinets?
Laval is light and warm, so it works best with cabinets that either match its softness or add contrast. White and off-white cabinetry keeps the look bright and seamless, the way the pale panelling does in our photo; deeper cabinets in charcoal or navy give you contrast while the warm blonde keeps the whole scheme from feeling heavy. Warm wood-tone cabinets in a similar light range can blend, so add a slight tone difference if you want the floor and cabinets to read separately.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
In a windowless room or a basement, Laval reads a little softer and creamier than it does in full sun, but it stays warm and never turns grey or flat. Because it is such a light blonde, it also helps a low-light room feel brighter than a darker floor would. Pair it with warm bulbs rather than cool white ones to keep the golden-beige warmth.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Yes. A light warm blonde like Laval is a natural backdrop for greenery, and foliage stands out cleanly against the pale floor. The wood-look surface wipes clean easily, so the odd drip from watering is no trouble; just set a saucer under each pot, avoid leaving standing water, and skip rubber-backed mats under planters, which can discolour a floor over time.
