Gradient Collection Waterproof Click Lock Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

Create a clean, contemporary foundation for your home with the Gradient Collection. Designed to capture the natural beauty of hardwood while delivering the performance advantages of modern vinyl flooring, these waterproof luxury vinyl planks feature realistic wood visuals, a durable wear layer, and a rigid WPC core that stands up to everyday life. The result is a stylish, low-maintenance floor that performs beautifully in busy households and light commercial settings alike.

Stylish Wood-Look Flooring for Everyday Living

The Gradient Collection is ideal for homeowners seeking the warmth and character of hardwood without the upkeep. Its realistic grain patterns and natural color variation bring depth and visual interest to any room, while the waterproof construction provides confidence in areas where spills, moisture, and daily activity are common.

From modern open-concept spaces to traditional interiors, this flooring offers a versatile design that complements a wide range of décor styles.

Built for Long-Term Durability

Engineered with an 8.5 mm overall thickness and a rigid waterproof WPC core, the Gradient Collection delivers excellent dimensional stability and everyday resilience. A durable 20 mil wear layer helps protect against scratches, scuffs, stains, and wear caused by foot traffic, pets, and active families.

The embossed-in-register (EIR) texture closely follows the printed wood grain for a more authentic hardwood appearance and feel. Combined with a low-sheen matte finish, the planks create a realistic and sophisticated look throughout the home.

FloorScore® certification supports healthier indoor air quality, while residential and commercial warranty coverage provide added peace of mind.

Fast and Convenient Installation

Featuring the trusted Unilin Uniclic click-lock system, the Gradient Collection installs as a floating floor without the need for glue, staples, or nails. The precision-milled locking mechanism helps create tight seams and a secure fit for a professional-looking result.

An attached 1.5 mm IXPE underlayment enhances comfort underfoot while helping reduce noise transfer between rooms. This integrated pad also simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate underlayment in many applications.
