Republic Floor Deep Forest Collection

Shop the Republic Floor Deep Forest Collection for premium 28 mil waterproof SPC flooring with substantial 10mm construction, realistic EIR texture, and wide 9-inch planks in 60-inch and 72-inch lengths.

Republic Floor Deep Forest Collection

The Republic Floor Deep Forest Collection is a premium waterproof SPC family featuring a 28 mil wear layer, substantial 10mm construction, EIR wood texture, and wide 9-inch planks.

Most current Deep Forest products use extra-long 9-by-72-inch boards. Light Thunder uses a 9-by-60-inch format. This difference should be preserved when products are assigned to the collection rather than forcing every color into one incorrect plank size.

Why Choose Deep Forest Flooring?

Deep Forest is designed for buyers seeking a premium specification rather than a basic rigid-core floor.

Its defining characteristics include:

  • Substantial 10mm construction
  • Heavy 28 mil wear layer
  • Wide 9-inch planks
  • Extra-long formats
  • Realistic EIR wood texture
  • Waterproof SPC materials
  • Premium natural wood visuals
  • Reduced seam frequency
  • Strong open-room presentation

The combination makes Deep Forest especially relevant for large residential interiors, multi-room projects, offices, retail areas, and other approved demanding environments.

What Does a 28 Mil Wear Layer Provide?

The 28 mil wear layer provides a substantial amount of transparent protective material above the printed wood image.

It may be particularly attractive for:

  • Active family homes
  • Pet households
  • Busy entry areas
  • Connected living spaces
  • Multi-family interiors
  • Offices
  • Approved retail environments
  • Other higher-traffic applications

A 28 mil wear layer does not make a floor indestructible. Surface performance also depends on the coating, maintenance, furniture protection, grit removal, installation, and subfloor quality.

Understanding the 10mm Construction

Deep Forest has a 10mm total profile. This creates a higher finished-floor elevation than many conventional 5mm or 6mm SPC products.

Before ordering, check:

  • Exterior and interior door clearance
  • Dishwasher removal space
  • Refrigerator clearance
  • Stair-nose compatibility
  • Reducer dimensions
  • T-molding profiles
  • Baseboard elevation
  • Connections to tile or hardwood
  • Existing cabinet clearances

Compare Deep Forest with other products in the 10mm SPC flooring collection.

Deep Forest Plank Dimensions

Deep Forest uses a consistent approximate width of 9 inches, but the current products do not all use the same length.

9-by-72-Inch Deep Forest Flooring

Ivory Buff, Dakota Mahogany, and Hurricane Tawny use approximately 9-by-72-inch extra-long planks.

Six-foot flooring can create fewer end joints and a more expansive visual across large rooms.

9-by-60-Inch Deep Forest Flooring

Light Thunder uses an approximately 9-by-60-inch plank. It retains the wide-plank appearance while using a five-foot length.

Buyers focused on six-foot flooring can compare the Republic Floor 28 mil 9x72 SPC collection.

EIR Surface Texture

Deep Forest uses EIR texture aligned with the printed wood-grain pattern. The embossing helps create realistic grain depth, knot definition, and natural interaction with light.

EIR is especially beneficial on wide flooring because each plank displays a larger section of the printed visual. Browse additional EIR waterproof flooring.

Deep Forest Colors

Light Thunder

Light Thunder provides warm natural-oak coloring in the collection’s 9-by-60-inch format. It can coordinate with modern, Scandinavian, transitional, and contemporary interiors.

Ivory Buff

Ivory Buff combines light ivory, beige, and natural-oak movement. It can brighten open rooms while retaining visible knots and grain.

Dakota Mahogany

Dakota Mahogany uses warm golden-brown coloring with a richer, more established wood character.

Hurricane Tawny

Hurricane Tawny blends honey beige and warm natural-oak tones for an inviting, versatile appearance.

Physical samples should be viewed flat on the floor because lighting interacts differently with horizontal surfaces than with samples held upright.

Deep Forest for Open Floor Plans

Wide and extra-long planks can provide attractive continuity between kitchens, dining rooms, living spaces, and hallways.

For connected installations, confirm:

  • Maximum continuous-run limits
  • Expansion requirements
  • Transition requirements
  • Room layout
  • Installation direction
  • Subfloor flatness
  • Cabinet and island instructions

The extra-long SPC flooring collection provides additional six-foot options for comparison.
