The attached foam underlayment provides sound dampening and a comfortable feel underfoot, while the locking installation system makes it perfect for DIY projects. We designed this flooring for real life — beautiful enough for your main living spaces, tough enough for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Construction & Durability
Glendale Pine features our advanced rigid core technology that combines limestone composite with high-density polymer for dimensional stability. The 20 mil wear layer protects the photographic wood grain from scratches, scuffs, and daily wear.
This construction delivers the waterproof performance that sets SmartCore Pro apart from traditional laminate or engineered wood. The planks won’t swell, buckle, or delaminate when exposed to water, making them ideal for moisture-prone areas. Our SmartCore Pro collection undergoes rigorous testing to ensure each style meets commercial-grade durability standards while maintaining residential comfort.
Authentic Pine Appearance
We captured the natural beauty of pine through high-definition printing and registered embossing technology. The surface texture follows the printed grain pattern exactly, creating realistic depth and dimension.
Glendale Pine showcases the warm golden tones and natural knots characteristic of pine wood. Color variation from plank to plank mimics the way real pine boards differ in a hardwood installation. Light sapwood bands contrast with richer heartwood sections for authentic visual interest.
Installation & Underlayment
Our click-lock system allows planks to snap together without glue or nails for a floating floor installation. The tongue-and-groove edges create tight seams that resist separation over time.
Glendale Pine includes pre-attached foam underlayment on every plank. This integrated padding eliminates the need to purchase and roll out separate underlayment, saving installation time and reducing material costs. The foam layer provides sound dampening to minimize footfall noise and adds cushioning for a warmer, more comfortable surface.

What people are saying
Glendale Pine Common Questions
Yes, Glendale Pine is ideal for basement installations. The waterproof rigid core construction resists moisture from concrete slabs and prevents vapor transmission that damages traditional wood flooring.
The planks won't warp, buckle, or mold in below-grade environments. Install directly over concrete subfloors once you've verified they're structurally sound and relatively level. Many homeowners choose this flooring specifically for basement renovations because it provides the warmth of wood appearance with basement-appropriate durability.
Glendale Pine features a 20 mil wear layer, which represents heavy residential and light commercial durability. This thickness protects against scratches, stains, and daily wear far better than economy vinyl with 6-12 mil wear layers.
The 20 mil rating means the floor will maintain its appearance through decades of normal household traffic. It's thick enough to refinish surface scratches with vinyl floor polish if needed, though most homeowners never require this level of maintenance.
The subfloor must be clean, dry, and relatively flat within 3/16 inch over 10 feet. Remove any existing flooring debris, adhesive residue, or protruding nails.
Concrete subfloors should be tested for excessive moisture and sealed if necessary. Wood subfloors need to be structurally sound without soft spots or squeaks. The rigid core construction tolerates minor imperfections better than flexible vinyl, but proper preparation ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Every SmartCore Pro Glendale Pine plank includes pre-attached foam underlayment. You don't need to purchase or install separate underlayment in most installations.
This integrated padding provides sound dampening and comfort while simplifying the installation process. The foam layer is permanently bonded to each plank, so there's no risk of it shifting or bunching during installation like loose-laid underlayment can.
Glendale Pine is compatible with radiant heating systems when properly installed. The rigid core construction conducts heat effectively while remaining dimensionally stable.
Keep the floor surface temperature below 85°F to prevent damage. Gradually increase and decrease heating temperatures rather than making sudden changes. The waterproof construction eliminates concerns about heat-related expansion and contraction that affect wood flooring over radiant systems.
Avoid steam cleaners as excessive heat can potentially soften the adhesive in seams over time. Regular damp mopping with vinyl floor cleaner provides sufficient cleaning without risks.
The waterproof construction handles moisture well, but standing water should still be wiped up promptly. Use a slightly damp mop rather than soaking the floor. This approach keeps the surface clean while protecting the integrity of the click-lock joints and maintaining the factory finish.
Glendale Pine includes a lifetime residential warranty covering manufacturing defects, wear-through of the wear layer, and staining from normal household use. The warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original purchaser.
Commercial installations receive a shorter warranty period. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the recommended installation and maintenance guidelines to maintain warranty coverage. The warranty demonstrates our confidence in the long-term performance of this flooring.
