Quail Medium Brown Waterproof SPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Quail?

Quail is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a coffee brown shade, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a low-maintenance, practical finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. A splash at the sink or a dropped glass wipes up without harming Quail when cleaned promptly; don't leave water standing. Indoor use only — outdoor installation is not approved.

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

Quail is protected by a 20 mil wear layer — roughly 0.51 mm thick — recommended for 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?

Quail has a 20 mil protective layer — thicker than the thin wear layers on entry-level LVT. That's the physical protective film above the print, sealed by finish.

What does the plank surface look like?

Up close the Quail plank shows an open, flowing grain with a soft cathedral figure, its long arches tapering gently along the board. A few small knots sit sparsely in the calmer stretches, with faint mineral streaks and gentle figure variation adding movement without busyness. The printed wood-look surface repeats cleanly from plank to plank, so the espresso brown reads even underfoot.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Quail is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Quail 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 side light of a daytime bedroom, Quail's espresso brown lifts toward its warmer notes, showing the amber inside the brown rather than reading flat and black. Against white walls and pale bedding the depth stays rich but never heavy, and as the light softens later in the day the color deepens into something cozier. Pair Quail with warm neutrals and natural wood-tones to play up that warmth, or with cool greys for more contrast.
