Country Gem Colors

Hayes

Bentley

Bentley provides a balanced wood appearance that can coordinate with neutral walls, mixed furniture, and warm or cool finishes.

Austin

Austin introduces additional natural character for relaxed transitional and traditional spaces.

Jackson

Jackson offers a distinct wood direction for interiors needing more definition and visible grain.

Colton

Always compare samples under the actual room lighting.

EIR Texture and Micro Bevel Edges

Country Gem uses EIR, or Embossed in Register, surface texture.

The embossing follows the printed wood pattern, helping the surface feel more closely connected to the visible knots and grain.

Micro bevel edges subtly define each wide plank and help preserve the appearance of individual boards.

Why Choose 8mm SPC?

Country Gem’s 8mm overall construction creates a substantial profile compared with many thinner rigid-core products.

Thickness may influence:

  • Underfoot character
  • Finished floor height
  • Door clearance
  • Appliance clearance
  • Transition planning
  • Stair components

It does not independently determine surface durability. The wear layer, coating, core, installation, and maintenance remain important.

Country Gem 9 by 60 Inch Planks

The wide and long format creates fewer seams than a traditional 7 by 48 inch plank.

This can make Country Gem effective in:

  • Great rooms
  • Living rooms
  • Open kitchens
  • Dining rooms
  • Primary bedrooms
  • Long hallways
  • Whole-home installations

Wide planks require a flat, properly prepared subfloor to support the locking system.

Is Country Gem Waterproof?

Country Gem uses waterproof SPC plank construction.

It may be considered for approved:

  • Kitchens
  • Living areas
  • Bedrooms
  • Dining rooms
  • Hallways
  • Entryways
  • Finished basements
  • Home offices

Waterproof plank construction does not make the entire room or subfloor waterproof.

Country Gem for Pets and Busy Homes

The collection’s waterproof core, 20 mil wear layer, EIR surface, and varied wood visuals may suit active households.

Protect the floor with:

  • Entrance mats
  • Furniture pads
  • Clean casters
  • Hard-floor chair mats
  • Regular grit removal
  • Prompt spill cleanup
  • Trimmed pet nails
  • Approved cleaners

No SPC floor is completely scratch proof.

Installing Country Gem Flooring

Before installation, verify:

  • Subfloor flatness
