Macadamia Medium Beige Waterproof SPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Macadamia?

Macadamia is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a greige shade, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Unlike engineered hardwood or laminate, surface spills don't soak in, and the rigid core won't cup or buckle. Wipe up spills and pet accidents promptly and don't leave standing water. Not approved for outdoor installation.

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

Every plank is finished with a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, so you get excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a step up from the standard-duty wear layers in everyday durability.

Will it hold up to daily life?

What 20 mil typically means in real homes: many years of everyday household use without visible wear-through. Macadamia in heavy-traffic zones (kitchen, entry) works hardest and shows the first signs soonest; quieter rooms like bedrooms keep their look longest.

What does the plank surface look like?

Macadamia is smooth and calm up close. A long, quiet figure sweeps the length of each board with gentle movement, interrupted only by an occasional small knot with a dark center and faint mineral streaking. Board-to-board variation is soft, so the finished floor looks refined and even, the kind of understated surface that flatters bold furnishings above it.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Macadamia's factory-attached 1mm EVA 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 — Macadamia 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 bright daylight and ring pendant of this room, Macadamia reads clean and pale, its gentle warmth keeping it soft rather than stark. Because the undertone is only lightly warm, it stays fairly true across the day; in a lower-light room it warms slightly without going grey. Its restrained paleness is what makes the teal, cognac, and brass accents here read so richly above it.
