ResiPlank Essence 307 Light Sand Vinyl Plank Flooring

Terra Mater ResiPlank Essence Light Sand Vinyl Plank Flooring

Light Sand features whitewashed planks with a brushed texture, balanced by the gentle warmth of classic oak. Essence is ResiPlank’s slim 3mm glue-down vinyl plank. It still carries a 0.7mm wear layer, and its 228mm-wide boards keep height changes at doorways to a minimum.

Very light floors reflect daylight, which makes smaller rooms and spaces with less sun feel larger and brighter. Light Sand suits coastal, Scandinavian and Hamptons-style homes; pair it with white or warm-white walls, natural linen and pale timber or rattan furniture.

Why choose Essence Light Sand

• 0.7mm wear layer – a tough top layer for high-traffic areas.
• Water-resistant vinyl – suits kitchens, laundries and busy living areas.
• Glue-down installation – planks are fully bonded to the subfloor, so they stay stable and quiet underfoot.
• Slim 3mm profile – keeps height changes at doorways and next to other floors to a minimum.

• 25-year domestic warranty – from Terra Mater (manufacturer terms apply).

Where to use it

Light Sand suits kitchens, laundries, living areas and hallways, and its hard-wearing surface also makes it a practical choice for rentals and light commercial fit-outs. Because the planks are glued down, the subfloor needs to be smooth and well prepared before installation.

Installation and care

Glue-down vinyl needs a smooth, flat and dry subfloor, usually a levelled concrete slab or sheet underlay, because bumps can show through the planks. The planks are bonded with a full bed of suitable flooring adhesive, so we recommend professional installation. Vacuum regularly and damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. See our installation guides.

Light Sand FAQs

Is Essence Light Sand water-resistant?

Yes. The vinyl planks are water-resistant, so Light Sand suits kitchens, laundries and busy family areas. Wipe up standing water promptly.

What subfloor does glue-down vinyl need?

A smooth, flat, clean and dry subfloor, usually a levelled concrete slab or a suitable sheet underlay. Any bumps or gaps can show through, so subfloor preparation is important.

Can I install it myself?

Glue-down vinyl needs careful subfloor preparation and the right adhesive, so we recommend a professional installer. We can quote for supply and installation.

How many cartons do I need?

Each carton covers 3.89m² (12 planks). Measure your floor area, add about 10% for cuts and wastage, then divide by 3.89. For example, a 30m² room needs 30 × 1.1 ÷ 3.89 = 8.5, so 9 cartons.
