Essonne Medium Beige Waterproof SPC | Medieval Floors

Quick Answer What is Essonne? Essonne is a wood-look SPC floor built around a soft greige color, with a thick, high-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish. Is it waterproof? Yes — 100% waterproof. Stable against concrete-slab humidity and seasonal moisture variation, so Essonne suits below-grade rooms once the slab passes a moisture test; clean up standing water promptly. Not approved for outdoor installation. How durable is it, and what traffic can it take? The flooring uses a 20 mil wear layer — measuring about 0.50 mm — a good match for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. Noticeably thicker than the everyday layers below it. Will it hold up to daily life? At 20 mil, Essonne's wear layer sits on the thicker end for residential flooring, which is why it stands up well to heavy day-to-day use. The 6.5mm construction adds rigidity underfoot, so the floor handles busy rooms without showing wear quickly. What does the plank surface look like? Each Essonne plank shows sweeping cathedral arches that dominate the board, with mineral streaking tracing the grain and small character flecks scattered through. The narrower board width makes that figure feel more frequent across a floor, giving a lively, traditional read. Because the grain is a wood-look print, the arches and streaks stay consistent from plank to plank. Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo? The 1.5mm IXPE anti-microbial acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Essonne is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes. Will this color work in my room? Essonne reads with the light in the room. Under the bright, soft daylight and the brass chandelier in this space, the greige warms and its taupe undertone comes forward, keeping the floor refined rather than cold. In dimmer light the mid-tone deepens and the mineral streaks read stronger. Essonne pairs well with cream and blush upholstery, warm brass, and paneled white walls. Price & availability?

Jump to: Overview Specifications Installation & Care FAQ Overview Essonne is a soft mid-tone greige with a warm taupe undertone, a refined neutral with a little more depth than a pale beige. Sweeping cathedral arches dominate the narrower boards, with mineral streaking running through the grain and small character flecks giving each plank real movement. We photographed Essonne in a transitional-traditional living room, where the greige boards sit beneath cream sofas and a velvet armchair, lit by a brass chandelier and tall windows, with blush and mauve accents against warm-white paneled walls. It is a wood-look print over a stone-polymer core, so a formal-looking floor comes with everyday durability and a simple damp-mop routine. It suits formal, light-filled living and sitting rooms where you want a floor with quiet character. A greige floor with real grain movement, dressed up under a brass chandelier and blush upholstery.

Read the guide → Frequently asked questions What does it look like installed in a real room? In the installed photo, Essonne runs through a transitional-traditional living room under bright soft daylight and a brass chandelier. The greige boards sit beneath cream sofas and a velvet armchair, with framed art, table lamps, and blush-and-mauve throw pillows against warm-white paneled walls. The floor's mid-tone depth and visible grain give the formal furnishings a base with some substance, so the room reads elegant rather than flat. It is a floor that suits a room dressed for company. Will it match my cabinets? Essonne's greige depth pairs well with built-ins and cabinetry in a formal room. Against the warm-white paneling here it reads as a soft, deeper counterpoint; cream and greige cabinets keep the palette gentle. Darker wood-tone or navy cabinets get a warm mid-tone floor beneath them without clashing, and with lighter cabinets the floor's own grain supplies the contrast. How does this color read in a windowless basement? In a windowless room, Essonne reads deeper and its mineral streaks stand out more than they do under the chandelier and windows in this photo, but the greige keeps its warmth and does not go grey. The extra depth suits a cozy formal den below grade. Warm bulbs keep the taupe present; cool bulbs cool the whole floor down. �� More common SPC questions → Explore More Colors in the Medieval Floors Valencian Aphrodite Rose Winter Glacier Nova Fusion Baja Sahara Strasbourg Blazing Venus Martigues SS Written by Sergey Stotskiy Managing Partner, Kapriz Hardwood Floors · Licensed California C-15 Flooring Contractor #875369 (active since 2006) · Established 2003
