Westlake Hickory VV492-02045 SPC 5mm 7-inch | COREtec Pro Enhanced

What is Westlake Hickory?

Westlake Hickory is a wood-look SPC floor in a warm caramel-brown tone, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Day-to-day life — a dropped glass, a pet bowl, a tracked-in puddle — wipes up without swelling or delamination when cleaned promptly; standing water should not be left to sit. Outdoor use is not approved.

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

The flooring uses a 20 mil wear layer — that's approximately 0.50 mm — designed for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, delivering excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Safe cleaners for Westlake Hickory's 20 mil wear layer: vinyl-safe cleaners, damp microfiber mops, vacuum on hard-floor setting. The finish rules out abrasive scrubbers, bleach, ammonia, and solvent-based cleaners — these dull the wear layer permanently.

What does the plank surface look like?

The Westlake Hickory plank surface is defined by bold, sweeping cathedral arches with scattered small knots and lively character marks, varying clearly from one board to the next. It has more visual movement than the calmest boards in its family but reads cleaner than the knotty, weathered ones. A 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer protects the print, so the sweeping figure stays crisp under daily foot traffic.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Westlake Hickory's factory-attached cork acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Westlake Hickory carries GREENGUARD Gold 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?

Westlake Hickory's caramel-tawny brown is warm and natural, a true mid-tone that brings warmth to clean, minimalist rooms without darkening them. It glows under warm light and stays rich in daylight, and it suits modern, minimalist, and Scandinavian-leaning interiors. The tawny-brown base pairs naturally with greenery, wood-tone accents, black metal, and warm white walls.
