Gold Select
Essentials
A rigid stone-core plank for everyday homes. Spill-proof top to bottom, quiet underfoot, easy to live with.
Everyday floors, done right
Not every project needs the flagship. Essentials delivers the part that matters most — true waterproof performance and a clean wood look — at the sharpest price in the line.
A rigid 5.5 mm SPC build with an attached IXPE pad means it installs fast, walks quiet, and stands up to real family life. For rentals, basements, and budget-smart remodels, it’s the honest answer.
