Quick Answer

What is Pecan?

Pecan is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a greyed medium brown tone, with a tough, resilient surface for a simple, carefree 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 plank features a 12 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.30 mm — built for everyday residential use across the busy areas of most homes, with 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 Pecan'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, Pecan is all character - open flowing grain with long dramatic figure, clustered dark knots that radiate into splits, deep grain checks, and strong variation from one board to the next. It is a bold, heavily rustic surface, printed to keep that knotting consistent across the floor.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Pecan'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 — Pecan 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 afternoon, under a warm chandelier and light from many windows, Pecan's greyed brown warms up and the ashen tone softens. Cooler or lower light brings the grey forward and mutes it. The neutral, slightly ashen cast lets it pair with soft blue-grey walls, warm brown tones, and teal accents without fighting them.

Overview

A greyed medium brown with a soft ashen tone, Pecan lands between warm and cool, and its real story is the grain - open, flowing, and full of heavy knot character with long dramatic figure. Clustered dark knots with radiating splits and deep grain checks run board to board, giving it a bold, rustic look. In an ornate European-classic living room, Pecan brings that rustic character under carved furniture and a bell-flower chandelier, warming all the formal detail.

Pecan is a greyed ashen brown loaded with knots and character - rustic depth for a formal room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Installed, Pecan floors a grand, ornate living room - a carved sofa, an ornate coffee table, and a dark wood-tone console sit over the ashen brown beneath a bell-flower chandelier, with a cherry-blossom arrangement and a teal ceramic lamp adding color. The knotty, rustic floor keeps all the gilded, carved formality feeling relaxed and lived-in rather than like a museum.
Will it match my cabinets?
Pecan works with the dark wood-tone console and paneling in its own room, its ashen brown warm enough to sit beside those deeper tones without clashing. It also pairs with soft blue-grey, cream, or greige cabinetry, and the knotty character reads best in traditional or rustic kitchens rather than sleek flat-front ones.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
In a windowless basement or a low-light great room, Pecan's heavy grain and knots give the eye plenty to read, so it will not fall flat under artificial light. Warm bulbs bring out its brown, while cooler light emphasizes the ashen grey and the dark knots.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Yes - Pecan suits greenery and blooms, as the cherry-blossom arrangement shows in its own room. The busy, knotty grain means small delicate plants can get lost, so it pairs best with larger statement greenery or a bold floral arrangement that can hold its own against the floor.
