Product Overview: Premium Coastal Hickory Style

Bring the warm, sun-drenched beauty of the Florida coast into your home with Carmel Drift from our proprietary Coastal Series. Designed to precisely replicate the rich, textured grain of natural hickory wood, this luxury vinyl plank (LVP) features a high-shade variation. This creates a highly realistic, custom-wood look with all the practical benefits of modern flooring technology. Crafted with an ultra-dense, rigid Stone Polymer Composite (SPC) core, Carmel Drift is 100% waterproof and built to thrive in Southwest Florida’s high-humidity climate. It is the perfect, worry-free flooring solution for kitchens, bathrooms, active living areas, and high-traffic commercial spaces from Naples to Tampa Bay.

Why Carmel Drift is the Smart Choice for Florida Homes

• Commercial-Grade Wear Protection (22 MIL): Powered by advanced scratch-shield technology, the massive 22 mil wear layer offers maximum resistance against scratches, stains, and dents. It is exceptionally kid and pet-friendly—standing up to dog nails, sand, and heavy foot traffic with ease.
• Acoustic Comfort & High-Density Underlayment: Each plank comes with a pre-attached 1.5mm high-density IXPE foam padding. This integrated underlayment delivers superior sound dampening (noise reduction between rooms) and provides a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.
• 100% Waterproof & Climate-Proof: Unlike traditional wood, our rigid SPC core will not warp, swell, or buckle when exposed to moisture, wet paws, or humid air.
• Family-Safe & Eco-Friendly: Your family's health is our priority. This product is certified for Indoor Air Quality, completely free of harmful phthalates, formaldehyde, and toxic polymers, ensuring safe air quality for your children and pets.
• Easy Click-Lock Installation: Features professional click-lock technology for a secure, floating installation. It is highly DIY-friendly, saving homeowners thousands in professional labor costs, while being incredibly fast to lay down for local contractors.
