Quick Answer
What is Platinum?
Platinum is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a multi-tone, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof. Kitchen reality — dropped pots, splashes, and daily mop-and-go cleaning — won't faze the planks, as long as you wipe spills up promptly and dry any standing water. Not approved for outdoor installation; test the subfloor for moisture before installing.
How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?
The construction includes a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.51 mm — well suited to heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It sits at the thicker, harder-wearing end of the range.
Will it hold up to daily life?
Dog nails, cat claws, litter grit, water-bowl splash — Platinum's 20 mil wear layer and finish wipe clean easily and outlast a thinner LVT wear layer under everyday pet traffic. Claws can still leave light surface marks over time like on any hard floor, so trimmed nails and a rug in high-traffic zones help protect the finish.
What does the plank surface look like?
Up close the plank surface is all character grade: heavy dark knots close to the size of a coin, several with cracked centers and fissures radiating out into the grain. Open cathedral arches sweep the length of each board and pronounced mineral streaking traces along them, with strong variation from one plank to the next. It is a printed wood-look surface, so the knot detail repeats cleanly across a run without any two lengths looking stamped from the same die.
Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?
The 1.5mm Bioguardian anti-bacterial EVA acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Platinum is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.
Will this color work in my room?
Under soft, even daylight with no direct sun, Platinum's warm brown deepens and the taupe undertone keeps it from tipping orange or red. In a low-light or north-facing room the color reads richer and more enveloping, while a brighter space lifts the taupe and shows more of the mineral streaking. Either way it stays a warm, refined neutral rather than a loud statement.

Overview
Despite the cool name, Platinum reads as a deep, warm brown with muted taupe running underneath -- a medium tone that keeps real depth. Open cathedral grain sweeps down each plank, broken by heavy dark knots with cracked centers and radiating fissures, so no two boards repeat. In a minimalist Scandinavian living room that rustic knot character gives a pared-back, cream-and-white space warmth and texture without turning busy.
Rustic knot character with a calm, refined read -- Platinum brings texture to a minimalist room without the noise.
