Proximity Mills Suwannee River Collection Overview

The Suwannee River line is a stone-polymer (SPC) luxury vinyl plank collection designed for heavy residential and light commercial use. It offers fashion-forward colors in wood-look styles ranging from pale Scandinavian grays to warm rustic browns. 

All planks are 7″×48″ with a micro-bevel edge and use an I4F click-lock system for straightforward floating installation. 

The collection carries a 5/5 durability rating and a 20-mil wear layer, making it very hard-wearing. It is 100% waterproof and pet-friendly, so it can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or laundry rooms without issue. 

Built-in underlayment and FloorScore/GreenGuard certification mean it’s low-VOC and comfortable underfoot. 

In short, Suwannee River aims to deliver high-end LVP performance at a mid-range price (MSRP ≈ $6.2 per sq ft), competing well with other vinyl floors in its class.

Suwanee River LVP Construction & Specs

Each plank is SPC (rigid core) with a top UV coating (fade-resistant) over a realistic embossed wood-grain décor. A 20 mil wear layer covers the design, backed by a high-strength stone core and a built-in foam backing. These features give Suwannee River floors 5/5 durability and excellent sound-cushioning. All colors are waterproof and pet/baby-proof by design.

Where Can You Install Suwannee River LVP? 

Because it’s 100% waterproof and durable, Suwannee River can go anywhere, from living rooms and bedrooms to kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, or even basements. It looks great in both casual and formal settings, with some designs like “Moulton Barn” coordinating beautifully with all kinds of décor.

The planks float over the subfloor using an easy click-lock (I4F) system, with no glue needed. This makes DIY installation really approachable.

Style and Color Options

Suwannee River comes in ten wood-look colors. Each has its own character and can stand out in different ways:

• Arcadia (Low variation): A warm, medium-brown oak tone with subtle grain. It has very consistent coloring across planks, giving a smooth, uniform look. (Ideal if you want a classic, natural wood feel.)

• Aquila (High variation): A mix of warm and cool browns/greys with high color variation. This creates a rustic, textured appearance – almost a hand-distressed effect. It stands out for its lively contrast and farmhouse-chic vibe.

• Alabaster (Medium variation): A very pale, whitewashed-gray woodgrain (think bleached oak). It brightens a room and has a Scandinavian/modern look.

• Gettysburg (Medium variation): A soft beige-blonde oak color. It’s warmer than Alabaster but still light and neutral, reminiscent of natural oak wood. Its gentle tone works in almost any décor without feeling too bold, and it’s one of the best-selling Suwannee River floors.

• Irvine (Medium variation): A rich chocolate brown woodgrain. Darker than most other options, Irvine adds depth and elegance. The pattern has mild variation, giving a smooth walnut-like finish.

• Moulton Barn (High variation): A weathered brown-gray collage of plank colors (a true “barnwood” style). It exhibits high variation, featuring streaks of warm brown, gray, and tan, and a distinct aged appearance.

• Repose (Medium variation): A light gray oak tone. It’s similar to Alabaster but slightly darker/greyer. Its peaceful gray-brown color gives a calm, muted effect (hence the name “Repose”). Good for modern or minimalist rooms.

• Murphy (High variation): A dark espresso-brown with visible grain. It’s the deepest, most dramatic color in the collection (almost black-brown). High variation means you see light and dark streaks, which makes a bold statement and works well in high-contrast or moody interiors.

• Bozeman (Medium variation): A cool gray-brown tone. Think driftwood or weathered wood; it sits between gray and tan. Medium variation gives some texture without too much contrast. It has a slightly modern, subdued character.

• Teton (Medium variation): A taupe-gray wood color (a medium gray-brown). It has a neutral mid-tone that works as a versatile backdrop. The grayish cast feels contemporary, while the brown undertone keeps it warm.

Each style is distinctive: Arcadia and Gettysburg give a traditional wood look, while Aquila and Moulton Barn are more rustic/varied. Lighter colors (Alabaster, Repose) brighten rooms and suit modern decor, whereas darker ones (Irvine, Murphy) add richness and contrast.
