Oak Graham Rustic Waterproof Vinyl | GemCore Flooring

What is Oak Graham?

Oak Graham is a flexible, wood-look LVT floor in an earthy muted brown tone, with a resilient, home-grade wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Day-to-day life — a dropped glass, a pet bowl, a tracked-in puddle — wipes up without swelling or delamination when cleaned promptly; standing water should not be left to sit. Outdoor use is not approved.

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

Every plank is finished with a 12 mil wear layer — which works out to 0.30 mm — suited to everyday residential use across the busy areas of most homes, so you get solid everyday scratch and scuff resistance. It sits right in the mainstream of the range.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Oak Graham's 12 mil wear layer: vinyl-safe cleaners, damp microfiber mops, vacuum on hard-floor setting. The finish rules out abrasive scrubbers, bleach, ammonia, and solvent-based cleaners — these dull the wear layer permanently.

What does the plank surface look like?

Up close, Oak Graham runs a mostly straight, flowing grain that breaks into a soft cathedral arch here and there rather than looping dramatically. Several boards show a central character knot that opens into a fine cross-check split, and smaller dark knots and pin holes turn up at a moderate density across the run -- present but not clustered, so boards avoid reading as copies of each other. A light mineral flecking threads through the surface as well, adding subtle movement to the grain without overwhelming it.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no attached pad on Oak Graham — as a glue-down dryback LVT its underside bonds directly to the subfloor. That full bond lays the floor flat and quiet underfoot, with none of the hollow give a floating floor can have; for a condo or upstairs room that needs a rated sound assembly, ask about an acoustic membrane suited to glue-down LVT.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Oak Graham 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?

Oak Graham's muted brown leans warm -- cocoa and earthen undertones rather than a cooler grey-brown cast -- so it reads steady and inviting in most light instead of shifting cool under fluorescents or LEDs. In a bright, sunlit room, expect the cocoa undertone to lift and warm slightly; in a dimmer or north-facing space, the same brown reads deeper and quieter, with the earthen tones taking the lead.
