Wide, long wood-look planks in waterproof rigid vinyl—designed for pets, spills, and daily traffic.
Karastan LuxeCraft Refined Forest delivers a rich, natural wood look (often described as a cypress-inspired visual) in a rigid vinyl plank that’s made to handle the realities of busy homes. It’s built around a premium feel—long, wide planks, realistic texture, and clean edge detailing—while staying low-maintenance and worry-free in spaces where hardwood can be a challenge.

Style notes
Refined Forest is a strong choice when you want a floor that reads like real wood—warm, grounded, and not overly “perfect.” The longer plank format helps rooms feel more expansive, and the grain texture keeps it from looking flat once installed across a larger space.
Popular colors in this style commonly include Cedar, Fawn, Kona, Onyx, Platinum, Sienna (availability varies).
Sizing
-
Plank size: 9" x 72"
Performance and care (what matters)
Refined Forest is marketed under Karastan’s WetProtect® Gold waterproof system. The warranty language distinguishes typical household topical water exposure from excluded events (including flooding/storms and certain leak scenarios), so installation details and perimeter requirements matter.
