Ruby Blonde Waterproof SPC | Vellichor Floors

What is Ruby?

Ruby is a rigid, wood-look SPC floor in a warm blonde shade, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Stable against concrete-slab humidity and seasonal moisture variation, so Ruby suits below-grade rooms once the slab passes a moisture test; clean up standing water promptly. Not approved for outdoor installation.

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

The surface is topped by a 20 mil wear layer — about 0.50 mm — made for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, offering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.

Will it hold up to daily life?

At 20 mil, Ruby's wear layer sits on the thicker end for residential flooring, which is why it stands up well to heavy day-to-day use. The 6.5mm construction adds rigidity underfoot, so the floor handles busy rooms without showing wear quickly.

What does the plank surface look like?

Each Ruby plank centers on a soft, feathered cathedral plume with a subtle ribbon figure and only a stray pin knot here and there, so the boards look clean and consistent side by side. The print sits under a 20 mil wear layer for everyday wear, and a 1.5mm IXPE acoustic pad is factory-attached to every plank to soften sound underfoot. At 9 inches by 60 inches, each board carries the long plume of grain end to end.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1.5mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Ruby 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 — Ruby carries FloorScore, GREENGUARD Gold, CARB Phase 2, Zero Formaldehyde, EPA TSCA Title VI, Lacey Act, FSC certifications, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

As a warm, honeyed blonde, Ruby suits kitchens, dining areas and open living spaces that get a lot of daylight, where its sandy undertone reads inviting rather than yellow. It works against soft greige and dove-painted cabinetry, warm whites and pale stone counters, and because the grain is so calm, it stays restful under a wide expanse of floor. If your room runs cool, Ruby is a gentle way to add warmth without going dark.
