Vellichor Gemstone Collection Sapphire VC-511 SPC 7mm
The warm light cream character of Sapphire creates a calm, grounded aesthetic that works as well in coastal-inspired rooms as it does in contemporary urban interiors. Built for durability, this 7mm SPC is reinforced with a 20 mil wear layer and wide 9-inch planks. 100% waterproof VibranCore SPC core means no swelling, no buckling, and no warping — even in high-humidity environments. 4-sided micro-bevel edge profile adds realistic depth and shadow lines that closely mimic the look of real hardwood planks. Available now at Kapriz Hardwood Floors in Santa Clara, CA.
