Skyros Rustic Waterproof WPC | Paradigm Flooring

What is Skyros?

Skyros is a rigid, wood-look WPC floor built around a soft greyed taupe color, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. The rigid core stands up to everyday surface water — spills, mop water, pet accidents — without swelling or delaminating when wiped up promptly. It won't substitute for fixing a standing leak; dry the floor and the source quickly. Not approved for outdoor installation; keep the subfloor dry before and during install.

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

The top of Skyros carries a 20 mil wear layer — measuring about 0.51 mm — appropriate for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, giving you 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?

Minor scratches on Skyros stay low-visibility — faint surface marks rather than the bright white scuff lines a glossy floor shows. The 20 mil wear layer hides minor wear within the printed grain pattern — low visibility, not just high durability.

What does the plank surface look like?

The Skyros plank shows a tight straight grain broken by gentle cathedral peaks and long flowing streaks, with fine mineral lines and only sparse small knots. Board-to-board figure variation is subtle, giving a smooth, understated surface that reads modern rather than rustic.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Skyros 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 — Skyros 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?

Skyros reads calm and restful, and in the soft diffused daylight of the photographed bedroom the greyed taupe stays cool and even while the brown undertone keeps it from going cold. Direct sun warms it slightly toward sand, and low evening light lets the grey come forward for a hushed, muted look. It sits quietly beside white, chocolate, and pale neutrals.
