KV-325 Red-brown

Board & Surface
Performance
Why we say "fully waterproof" here and only "surface-waterproof" on our laminate: the SPC core in Cabernet Oak contains no wood fiber, so seams and edges physically cannot swell. A flood can still soak the drywall and subfloor around any floor — mop up either way — but the planks will not be the casualty.
The 30-day immersion test
We left a finished KV-325 panel under water for a month, then measured it: zero swell, zero cupping. Stone core, vinyl skin — there is nothing in this board that can drink.

From homes that live on it.
“Our 1912 foursquare has original redwood trim. This is the only modern floor we found that does not argue with it.”
Margaret Holloway, Curtis Park
“The red undertone is real — it fought our greige walls until we repainted warmer. Sample it against YOUR walls.”
Alan Chu, Roseville
“Rich, traditional, and the waterproof core survived a burst washer hose in week two. Baptism by fire, passed.”
Sofia Petrakis, Folsom
Owner questions.
Can KV-325 go in a full bathroom?
Yes. The SPC core is fully waterproof — kitchen, laundry, full bath. Leave the standard expansion gap, run a bead of silicone where the floor meets tub and shower, and wet rooms stay inside the warranty.
Do I need underlayment under it?
No. The 1 mm IXPE acoustic pad is factory-attached and earns the IIC 71 rating. Adding a second foam layer underneath voids the warranty — the extra bounce works the click joint loose.
Can it float over my existing tile?
Usually, yes. If grout lines are under 1/4 inch wide and the floor is flat to 3/16 inch over 10 feet, KV-325 floats straight over it. Wider joints get a quick skim coat — always priced as its own line.
Can I buy from the same dye lot later?
This entire stock is one production lot — #KV325-2608 — and we log your lot number with your order. Keep one spare box for repairs; the calculator above adds it for you.
