Taiga Difference Essence
Essence rounds out the Taiga Difference collection with a refined, softly neutral tone delivered in a 12" by 24" tile-style format. This luxury vinyl flooring tile captures the understated beauty of natural stone and polished concrete, bringing a quietly modern aesthetic to kitchens, bathrooms, and open-plan living spaces. At 6.5 mm thick, Essence offers a solid, confident feel underfoot while delivering the layout flexibility of a tile-sized format.
The surface of Essence is finished with authentic embossing that adds subtle, stone-like texture, while painted bevel edges define each tile and reinforce the grid-style installation aesthetic. A 0.4 mm wear layer gives Essence strong defense against scratches, stains, and moisture, supporting both residential and commercial use. The calm, balanced tone of Essence also acts as a flattering foundation for a wide range of décor styles and colour palettes.
Installation is handled by the click-lock system, a tool-free, glue-free floating method that works over most flat, dry subfloors. Each box covers 19.38 square feet, and the fully waterproof rigid core makes Essence safe for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and basements. STC 73 and IIC 72 acoustic ratings confirm strong sound-reduction performance, a key benefit for upper-floor and multi-family installations where quiet matters.
Covered by a 25-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty, Essence is engineered for long-term beauty and dependable performance. Its soft, neutral palette pairs beautifully with pale cabinetry, warm wood accents, matte black fixtures, and natural linen textiles, making Essence an ideal choice for modern minimalist, spa-inspired, and contemporary transitional interiors. For anyone seeking durable flooring with refined tile-format style, Essence delivers modern flooring sophistication with lasting value.
