Did you actually go to see the samples this is not something you buy online ever . The flooring store where you go can answer many of these concerns so go shopping , buy a box of what you like bring it home lay itout in your space that is how you buy LVP flooring . Any floor needs to have spills wiped up quickly and in my experience vinyl is better than laminate for instance if you are worried about spills.

I just recently went to their fremont location, they have samples there available to see in larger scales. This looks like their Sole? They have cut samples you can take home. Make sure you connect with a dealer since they let me know they don't sell direct.

Good morning Tammi,

We're happy that you're considering GAIA! I'd be happy to answer your questions.

Regarding SPC vs eSPC: To be clear, GAIA White and Red Series are SPC and our Black Series is engineered SPC (eSPC). The main differences between the two are length, width, thickness, texture, and engineered.

• Length: White= 48" vs Red= 60" vs Black= 70.87"

• width: White= 7.2" vs Red= 9.00" vs Black= 9.05"

• Thickness: White= 6mm vs Red= 8mm vs Black= 10mm

• Texture: White= High Def. Film vs Red= High Def. Film vs Black= Laser-Aligned High Def. Film w/ Realistic Texture

Regarding sound proofing & spills: All GAIA flooring is equipped with high-density IXPE antimicrobial underlayment, designed to absorb sound effectively. As Patricia highlighted, it is waterproof and ensures safety against topical spills. However, it is important to avoid letting excessive water accumulate on the floor for extended periods.

Regarding the color in the picture: The color in the picture you posted is Sole!

I hope this helps! Be sure to stop by a dealer near you or stop by our showroom to see the floors in person. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

GAIA Customer Care
