Quick Answer

What is Mineral?

Mineral is a wood-look WPC floor in a warm greige taupe tone, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. The rigid core stands up to everyday surface water — spills, mop water, pet accidents — without swelling or delaminating when wiped up promptly. It won't substitute for fixing a standing leak; dry the floor and the source quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation; keep the subfloor dry before and during install.

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

This floor has a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — ideal for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering 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?

Minor scratches on Mineral stay low-visibility — faint surface marks rather than the bright white scuff lines a glossy floor shows. The 20 mil wear layer hides minor wear within the printed grain pattern — low visibility, not just high durability.

What does the plank surface look like?

The plank surface wears its age gently: fine mineral streaks and small character marks drift across soft, weathered cathedral arches, with only subtle shifts board to board. The printed surface reproduces that quietly aged figure evenly underfoot, so it looks characterful without a single rough spot.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Mineral 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 — Mineral 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 soft natural daylight Mineral's earthy taupe reads warm and composed, its greige undertone keeping the color sophisticated rather than plain brown. Under warm sconce light in the evening it deepens and grows cozier. The tone is a natural companion to terracotta, slate blue, cream, and charcoal, earthy accents make it glow, cool ones make it read refined.

Overview

Mineral is a warm greige taupe with an earthy depth that reads sophisticated rather than rustic. Its surface is softly weathered: fine mineral streaks and small character marks trace open cathedral arches, with subtle grain variation from board to board. The photographed living room is modern-classic, a tufted sectional and slatted ottoman against white paneling, slate-blue pilasters, a terracotta wall relief, and warm sconce light. As a wood-look plank on a rigid, fully waterproof core, Mineral pairs that refined, weathered look with genuine toughness, shrugging off spills and daily wear, and its attached pad keeps each step soft and quiet. FloorScore certification adds low-VOC air to the room.

An earthy greige-taupe with a softly weathered surface: quiet, refined warmth for a modern-classic room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photo Mineral runs beneath a tufted sectional and a round slatted ottoman, framed by white paneling, slate-blue pilasters, and a sculptural terracotta wall relief lit by wall sconces. The earthy taupe floor bridges the cool blue and warm terracotta, tying the modern-classic scheme together.
Will it match my cabinets?
Mineral is shown against white paneling with slate-blue detailing, and its earthy warmth makes both white and slate-blue cabinetry look considered rather than cold. Greige, sage, and deep wood-tone cabinets suit it as well; its balanced tone means very few cabinet colors clash.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
In a windowless room Mineral's warm earthy base keeps a lamp-lit space from turning grey, especially under warm bulbs. Its weathered grain and mineral streaking give a basement lounge subtle texture, so the floor never reads like a flat panel.
