Why Choose Southwind Authentic Plank?

 

  • Waterproof: These planks are completely waterproof, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

  • Scratch-Resistant: With a 20 mil wear layer, they stand up well to everyday wear and tear.

  • Wide 9-inch Planks: Wide-width design adds a modern feel and reduces visual seams.

  • Attached Pad: IXPE padding is pre-attached for sound insulation and underfoot comfort.

  • Painted Bevel & Realistic Texture: Each plank has a textured finish that mimics real hardwood using embossed-in-register (EIR) technology.

     


 

How To Choose the Right Southwind Style for Your Home

 

  1. Light Colors (like Finnish Pine) – Good for smaller rooms or homes that need more natural brightness.

  2. Medium Tones (like Rain Barrel or Country Natural) – These fit most decor and hide dirt better.

  3. Dark Shades (like Aged Oak) – Great for contrast in modern or rustic designs.
