Golden Hickory is a warm, natural hickory-look plank from the Fuzion Dynamix Contour collection, a 9" x 60" luxury vinyl with a soft, pressed edge and embossed-in-register texture that follows the printed grain. The hickory grain gives it more movement and contrast than a plain oak visual. The 8 mm plank is built from a 1.5 mm vinyl layer over a 5 mm WPC core with 1.5 mm of cork attached underneath, so it is quiet and comfortable underfoot without a separate underlay. A 20 mil (0.5 mm) wear layer handles busy households. The Unilin click joint floats on, above or below grade and is suitable for radiant heat. FloorScore certified, with a limited lifetime residential and structural warranty and 15-year heavy commercial warranty. 22.12 sq. ft. per carton.

Frequently asked questions
Are AquaTeck’s vinyl planks waterproof?
Yes — both vinyl lines are 100% waterproof through the body of the plank, so they suit kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. The Café Collection uses a rigid SPC core; the Europe Collection is a fibreglass-reinforced loose-lay plank. We still recommend caulking around tubs and sinks to keep standing water out of the seams.
What is the difference between SPC, WPC and loose-lay vinyl?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the umbrella term, and it splits by how the plank installs. Floating, click-together planks use a rigid core — SPC (stone-plastic composite) is dense and very stable, while WPC (wood-plastic composite) is a little softer and warmer underfoot. The AquaTeck Café Collection is a floating SPC floor. Loose-lay planks, like the AquaTeck Europe Collection, are a non-floating, glue-down-family product: a heavier fibreglass-reinforced plank with an anti-slip grip backing that lies directly on the subfloor.
Do AquaTeck’s vinyl planks need underlay?
It depends on the line, because they install differently. The Café Collection is a floating SPC floor and ships with a 1.5 mm acoustic EVA pad already attached — nothing extra to buy. The Europe Collection is a loose-lay floor that installs straight onto the subfloor (laid loose, perimeter-glued, or fully glued), so it uses no underlayment at all. Either way you never add a separate pad — a cushioned underlay should never go under a glue-down or loose-lay vinyl.
How do the two vinyl lines install, and which should I choose?
The Café (SPC) Collection clicks together as a floating floor with a 2G drop-lock — quick, DIY-friendly, with the pad built in. The Europe Collection is a commercial-grade loose-lay plank: its fibreglass core and anti-slip backing let it lie loose for fast installs and easy single-plank replacement, or be perimeter / fully glued for heavy-traffic and commercial jobs. Choose Café for an easy floating install with sound-dampening built in; choose Europe for maximum stability, commercial durability, and glue-down flexibility.
Are matching trims and stair pieces available?
Yes. Both vinyl collections offer matching reducers, transitions, and stair nosings (plus flush stair nosings and concave/cove pieces on the Café line) so every edge and stair finishes properly.
