Quick Answer

What is Tofino?

Tofino is a wood-look WPC floor built around a warm chocolate brown 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?

Tofino features a 20 mil wear layer — approximately 0.51 mm — a good match 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?

Minor scratches on Tofino 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?

A Tofino plank shows tight straight grain in fine vertical lines, with even board-to-board figure, minimal knotting, and only faint character marks. The result is orderly and calm, a clean read that suits a bright modern space, and the printed surface sits over a rigid core. Across a floor the boards line up into smooth, consistent rows of warm chocolate brown with no visual clutter.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The 1mm IXPE acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Tofino 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 — Tofino 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 midday daylight of the photographed entry, Tofino's chocolate warmth reads clean and airy, staying warm against crisp white cabinetry and weathered-wood accents rather than turning heavy. The strong light shows off the even grain and keeps the deep brown feeling open. As the light drops in the evening the same floor keeps its warmth, easing into a cozy, mellow brown by lamplight.

Overview

Tofino pairs a deep warm brown with fine, even grain: tight straight lines and quiet uniform figure run down each board with only minimal knotting and a few faint character marks. The chocolate warmth keeps it friendly rather than severe, and the clean grain reads bright and current instead of rustic. In an entryway, mudroom, or hall it makes a warm, welcoming first step into a bright coastal home, and the waterproof rigid core takes wet shoes, tracked-in rain, and the wear an entrance sees daily. Tofino suits the family that wants a dark floor tough enough for the busiest doorway but light enough in feel to keep a room airy.

A warm chocolate brown with fine even grain, Tofino is a bright, hardwearing floor for the front door.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed entryway, Tofino runs beneath a round pedestal table and a rustic bench, styled with dried branches, potted greenery, a louvered partition, and framed palm art against soft white walls. The warm chocolate floor and the crisp white trim read bright and coastal, while the weathered-wood pieces echo the warmth in the boards. It is a floor that gives a busy doorway a clean, put-together welcome.
Will it match my cabinets?
Tofino works naturally with the crisp white cabinetry and trim of a coastal-farmhouse room, the warm chocolate floor giving bright white a grounded base without heavy contrast. It sits just as well beside weathered or warm wood-tone furniture, reading close in shade. The warmth in the brown is what ties it to a relaxed, sun-washed palette.
How does this color read in a windowless basement?
Tofino keeps its warm, clean character even without much daylight, so a windowless mudroom or lower-level entry still feels welcoming. Warm bulbs bring the chocolate tone forward and keep the space from feeling closed-in. The fine grain stays visible under lamplight, so the floor reads intentional rather than like a plain dark slab.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
Tofino's entry was styled with potted greenery and dried branches, and the plants read fresh and bright against the warm chocolate floor. Set pots on felt-footed or non-rubber stands, since rubber- and latex-backed bases can permanently stain the surface, and because the core is waterproof, watering drips and tracked-in rain wipe up without worry. It is an easygoing floor for the greenery a busy entry collects.
