Valley Oak is a waterproof, wood-look SPC floor in a muted greige-taupe shade, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.

Yes — 100% waterproof. A splash at the sink or a dropped glass wipes up without harming Valley Oak when cleaned promptly; don't leave water standing. Indoor use only — outdoor installation is not approved.

The plank features a 20 mil wear layer — about 0.51 mm — designed for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It runs noticeably thicker than the entry-level wear layers.

Valley Oak has a 20 mil protective layer — thicker than the thin wear layers on entry-level LVT. That's the physical protective film above the print, sealed by finish.

Up close, Valley Oak shows a sweeping cathedral grain that arcs down the center of each board. Open knots with dark centers and long splits scatter heavily across the face, joined by pronounced mineral fissures and printed character marks. It is a high-character look, busier and more rustic than a clean, uniform tan.

The 1.5mm Bio Guard anti-bacterial EVA acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Valley Oak is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.

As a warm medium greige, Valley Oak stays neutral enough to pair with white or greige walls and warm wood-tone furniture. Under bright daylight the taupe lifts a little cooler and sandier; under evening lamplight it deepens toward a warmer brown. Either way the earthy base keeps it from feeling stark, so it works in both sunny and shaded rooms.
