- What makes the Koville Denali plank waterproof?
- The plank is built on a rigid core that does not swell when wet, so standing water on the surface does not damage it. The 12 mil wear layer protects the printed design from scuffs and moisture. It suits kitchens, baths and basements where glue-down vinyl or laminate would struggle.
- Is the 12 mil wear layer enough for a busy home?
- A 12 mil layer is a mid-range rating, above builder-grade 6 to 8 mil planks and below heavy commercial 20 mil. It handles daily foot traffic, pets and dropped items in most homes. For a large dog or a rental with constant turnover, a thicker layer lasts longer.
- How does the 5 mm thickness compare with other rigid core planks?
- At 5 mm, the Denali sits in the middle of the rigid core range, thicker than thin 4 mm planks and thinner than 6 to 8 mm options. The extra thickness over entry planks gives a more solid feel underfoot and hides minor subfloor unevenness. It still needs a flat, clean subfloor to click together cleanly.
- Does Hayes offer a warranty on its flooring?
- Hayes publishes a limited residential warranty on its rigid core planks, covering wear and the core structure for a set number of years. Terms vary by line, so check the warranty sheet for the Koville Denali before buying. Keep your receipt, since claims require proof of purchase.
- Can the 7 in. x 48 in. plank be installed over existing floors?
- Yes, the click-lock edges let the plank float over most hard, flat surfaces, including tile and old vinyl, without adhesive. The subfloor must be level and dry, and you need an expansion gap at the walls. It is not recommended over carpet or over a subfloor with moisture problems.
- Are there Hayes discount codes?
- Deal.ai checks what Hayes products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
