Why Elite

Waterproof, without compromise

Some homeowners simply want waterproof flooring. Others want waterproof flooring that actually looks and feels like premium hardwood.

Elite pairs our most realistic embossed-in-register textures with wide, architectural 9-inch planks and commercial-grade durability — a floor for the homes where design matters just as much as performance. Fewer seams. Deeper grain. A calmer, more intentional room.

SPC

Stone-plastic composite — a rigid, dimensionally stable waterproof core.

EIR

Embossed-in-register — surface texture aligned to the printed wood grain.

Mil

Wear-layer thickness. 1 mil = 1/1000″; more mil = more durability.

Cork pad

Natural cork backing for added warmth and quieter acoustics.

Construction

Built from the ground up

Four layers, one 7 mm plank — the thickest build in the line. Hover each layer — or just scroll — to see how Elite is put together.
