Quick Answer
What is Marathon?
Marathon is a wood-look WPC floor in a caramel-brown tone, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. A splash at the sink or a dropped glass wipes up without harming Marathon when cleaned promptly; don't leave water standing. Indoor use only — outdoor installation is not approved.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
The flooring uses a 20 mil wear layer — measuring about 0.51 mm — made for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. That's a step above the standard-duty wear layers.
Will it hold up to daily life?
Marathon has a 20 mil protective layer — thicker than the thin wear layers on entry-level LVT. That's the physical protective film above the print, sealed by finish.
What does the plank surface look like?
The Marathon planks stand out for their movement, with long sweeping grain streaks running the length of each board and a pronounced ribbon figure. Sparse small knots punctuate the surface, and the flowing printed grain reads more dynamic than a straight, even plank.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
The 1mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Marathon 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 — Marathon 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 dining room's bright natural light, Marathon reads as a clear, warm caramel and its golden cast stays lively across the floor. In softer or lower light it turns a deeper, mellower brown. Its warmth is what lets it sit so well with sage green and crisp white.

Overview
Marathon is a warm caramel brown with a golden cast, carried by a distinctive lengthwise grain that flows in long, ribbon-like movement. Sparse small knots and pronounced figure give each board a sense of motion down its length. In the photographed dining room Marathon runs beneath a table and upholstered chairs against a crisp white kitchen, where sage-green accents pick up its warmth. The wood-look print sits over a 100% waterproof rigid core, easy to keep clean under a dining table.
A warm caramel brown with long, flowing grain that gives a dining room real movement.
