Quick Answer
What is Pentos?
Pentos is a genuine engineered hardwood floor in a warm honeyed-tan golden blonde shade, with a natural hardwood grain for a rich, inviting look.
Is it waterproof?
Engineered hardwood is water-resistant, not waterproof. Pentos handles the everyday humidity swings that trouble solid wood, though it isn't built for wet areas like showers or flood-prone slabs — for those, a waterproof floor is the right call.
Can it be refinished?
A professional gauges refinishing by the wear layer — the real wood veneer, not the total plank height. With its 4mm layer, Pentos can usually take two or three professional refinishes.
What does the plank surface look like?
Up close, Pentos is all movement: broad cathedral arches roll the length of each board, threaded with fine surface checks and the odd small knot that keep the golden field lively rather than flat. The wire-brushed relief rakes across that figure, so light picks up the grain and the warmth reads with real depth from any angle.
Will this color work in my room?
Pentos is made for warm palettes. Brass, aged brass, copper, and champagne bronze naturally echo its amber undertones, while darker wood furniture creates depth and keeps the golden floor from feeling overly light. Cream upholstery, oatmeal textiles, terracotta accents, and muted olive tones all reinforce its rich, inviting character.
Natural sunlight brings out the floor's honeyed depth, giving the grain a soft glow throughout the day. As daylight changes, the color deepens toward amber and caramel notes that make the room feel relaxed and welcoming without relying on bold contrast.

Overview
Pentos is the warmest floor in the collection, filled with rich amber, honey, and golden-caramel tones that immediately give a space a welcoming, sunlit character. Rather than fading into the background, its color becomes part of the room's atmosphere, making it a natural choice if you enjoy interiors that feel layered, comfortable, and full of warmth.
Wide cathedral grain rolls across each board with occasional fine surface checks, and because the veneer is genuine European Oak, every plank has its own distinct pattern. A wire-brushed surface beneath a clear UV lacquer adds subtle texture while revealing the natural grain. The floor is built with a 4mm real-wood European Oak veneer over an engineered core, combining authentic wood character with dependable dimensional stability.
Rich amber depth and a lively, sweeping figure give Pentos the glow of a sunlit floor.

Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate how much flooring I need?
Pro tip: don't return extras after install — colors can shift slightly between production runs. If you need 5 replacement planks in 2 years, your only exact match is the stock you kept. Bring floor-plan dimensions into the showroom and our staff will walk through the calculation with you.
Do you offer samples I can take home?
What's your return policy?
Defective products are Kapriz's problem, not yours — manufacturing defects, wrong product, or transit damage documented on the delivery receipt all get free replacement or refund. Note any visible damage on the receipt before the driver leaves.
Why returns aren't standard: reverse logistics on a flooring pallet runs $300–800 with damage risk Kapriz absorbs.
Written exceptions (rare): 25% restocking fee + customer pays freight. Opened cartons, custom orders, and discontinued runs are never eligible.
