KO-116 Deep Brown

Board & Surface
Performance
Honest wording on "waterproof": the surface is waterproof; we filmed a 72-hour immersion test below. Standing water forced under the seams for days can still reach the core, so for full bathrooms we will point you to KONO LVP instead.
The 72-hour immersion test
We sank a finished KO-116 panel in a tank for three days, then measured swell at the seams. Watch the whole thing, timestamps and all.

From homes that live on it.
“Dark floors are a commitment. With big south windows ours looks like a hotel lobby; my sister's dim version of the same board looks brooding. Know your light.”
Victor Anand, East Sacramento
“Hides scratches, shows dust. A microfiber mop lives by the couch now, and we have made peace.”
Carla Jimenez, Land Park
“820 sqft installed in two days flat. The color is deeper in person — richer, less red than the screen.”
Sam Whitaker, Land Park
Owner questions.
Will it work over my radiant heat?
Yes, KO-116 is approved for hydronic and electric radiant systems up to a surface temperature of 84°F. Ramp the temperature over 48 hours after installation.
How visible is the pattern repeat?
There are 14 unique board faces per production run. In a typical room you will not find twins next to each other; our crews also shuffle boards from three boxes at a time.
Can I buy from the same dye lot later?
This entire stock is one production lot — #KO116-2607 — and we log your lot number with your order. That is also why we suggest keeping one spare box for repairs.
What underlayment do I need?
Our 1.5 mm acoustic underlayment is what earns the IIC/STC 68 rating and it is included in installed pricing. For DIY, it is $0.42 per sqft on the same shelf.
