Quick Answer

What is Pheasant?

Pheasant is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a muted olive-tinged greige tone, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Everyday spills, pet accidents, and mop water won't swell, warp, or delaminate the planks when wiped up promptly; standing water should still be cleaned up quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation; test the subfloor for moisture before installing.

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

The surface of Pheasant is finished with a 20 mil wear layer — which works out to 0.51 mm — intended for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering 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?

Pheasant's 20 mil wear layer and finish are rated for pet claws, chair legs, dragged furniture, and heavy daily traffic — the scratch resistance that matters in kitchens, entryways, and pet households where foot and paw traffic concentrates.

What does the plank surface look like?

The plank surface is deliberately quiet: soft cathedral sweeps run calmly along each board with very little abrupt figure, and the variation from plank to plank is minimal. A scatter of pin knots and a gentle mineral clouding drift through the printed grain, adding subtle life without breaking the serenity. This is understated grain, made to recede rather than draw the eye.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Pheasant's factory-attached 1mm 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 — Pheasant 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 bright, even daylight of this room, Pheasant's olive-greige lifts to a soft, warm neutral, its brown depth keeping it grounded against crisp white walls and a blush lower band. Because the color is muted and even, it stays calm through the day rather than shifting noticeably. In lower light it reads a shade deeper and greyer, still soft and easy to live with.

Overview

Pheasant is the quiet one - a muted, olive-tinged greige with just enough warm brown depth to keep it from feeling cold. Its grain is calm and understated, soft cathedral sweeps with minimal variation from board to board, so the floor stays smooth and serene across a room. A few pin knots and a soft mineral clouding are the only interruptions. In a modern-minimalist living room, that restraint is exactly the point: a refined backdrop that never distracts.

A muted olive-greige with quiet, even grain - Pheasant is a serene, refined backdrop for a minimalist room.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Installed in this minimalist living room, Pheasant runs beneath a tufted sectional and a pair of round coffee tables, with a line-art canvas and a marble side table keeping the styling spare. The muted olive-greige floor sits quietly under white built-in cabinetry and a soft blush wall band, while warm copper accents pick up its underlying warmth. It lets a pared-back room feel calm and intentional rather than empty.
Will it match my cabinets?
Pheasant's muted olive-greige is a natural match for the room's white built-in cabinetry, softening the white without adding contrast. It is equally at ease with greige, pale grey, or sage cabinets, and warms up nicely beside light wood-tone fronts. Its neutral, slightly green lean keeps it flexible with almost any restrained cabinet color.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Pheasant's warm-brown depth keeps its greige from going cold in low light, so it stays soft rather than flat. In a windowless basement, warm lighting brings the brown forward while cooler bulbs emphasize the olive-greige side. The calm, even grain suits a low-light room, giving it a smooth, uncluttered surface that does not fight for attention.
