Quick Answer

What is Mulberry Oak?

Mulberry Oak is a wood-look SPC floor in a rich warm brown shade, with a hard-wearing residential 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?

The surface is topped by a 12 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.30 mm — well suited to everyday residential use across the busy areas of most homes, providing solid everyday scratch and scuff resistance. A middle-of-the-range wear layer that balances durability with value.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Mulberry Oak'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, Mulberry Oak shows a long flowing grain cut across by heavy saw-kerf marks and short weathered fissures. Small dark knots scatter over the surface at a moderate spacing, with thin dark mineral streaks threading between them, so no two boards look quite the same. It is a printed wood-look surface built to read rustic and hand-worked rather than smooth and modern.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Mulberry Oak's factory-attached 1.5mm solution EVA acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.

Will this color work in my room?

The amber undertone is what keeps Mulberry Oak reading warm rather than flat -- in bright daylight it lifts toward a honeyed brown, and under warm lamplight the amber deepens into a richer, cozier tone. That warmth pairs easily with cream and off-white walls, black iron hardware, and warm metals, and its multi-tonal board-to-board shift means you are not locked into one exact wall color. Read it as a forgiving warm mid-brown that sets a cozy, rustic mood in the room.

Overview

Rustic amber runs through the warm medium brown of Mulberry Oak, warming the whole board without tipping orange. A long flowing grain is broken up by sawn kerf marks, scattered small knots, and dark mineral streaks, so each plank reads as a genuinely worked, weathered face rather than a clean uniform one. As a rigid click-lock plank, Mulberry Oak stands up to daily traffic, spills, and pet claws, which makes it a practical pick for busy kitchens, entryways, and family rooms that want warmth with a bit of grit.

A warm amber brown worn with sawn kerf marks and scattered knots -- rustic character you can live on.

Frequently asked questions

Will it match my cabinets?
Rich and warm, Mulberry Oak's amber-brown depth is made for cream and off-white cabinets, which brighten the room while playing up the floor's glow. Warm wood-tone cabinets deepen its rustic character, and creamy greige keeps things soft and cohesive. For drama, forest green or matte black cabinets pop against the amber base without fighting its warmth.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Mulberry Oak is a rich warm brown with rustic amber undertones, a deeper mid-tone that trades brightness for cosy character. It absorbs more light than a pale floor, so a windowless room wants good layered lighting to keep it from reading heavy. The amber warmth is its strength: under warm evening bulbs the brown glows and feels snug rather than dark. In a basement, give it a few well-placed lamps and it turns the space intimate and grounded instead of gloomy.
