Commercial-Grade Glue-Down in a Room-Sized Plank
Wilmont is the heaviest specification in MSI's glue-down group: a 2.5mm dryback build carrying a 20 mil CrystaLux wear layer, backed by a lifetime limited residential warranty. It is the line to reach for when a floor has to take full household traffic and still look right in five years.
The plank is 7 by 48 inches, which keeps it in proportion in ordinary rooms rather than demanding an open plan. Bonded with full-spread adhesive, waterproof throughout, rated for radiant heat, and installed with no acclimation period.
The 8 colors overlap with Katavia and Glenridge by name, which is deliberate: Bleached Elm, Twilight Oak, and Elmwood Ash for light and neutral schemes, Lime Washed Oak and Reclaimed Oak for texture, Woodrift Gray and Charcoal Oak for cooler and deeper rooms, and Burnished Acacia for the darkest end. Choosing Wilmont means keeping the look and taking the wear layer up.
Twenty mil is genuinely commercial-grade, which is why this is the sensible pick for entries, mudroom-adjacent halls, rentals between tenants, and offices with client traffic. Order samples and view them in the room's own light before committing to the color.
Gray · Wilmont
Elmwood Ash
Cerused gray with a refined, open feel.
The white cerused pulls trace the figure rather than covering it, which gives Elmwood Ash more depth than a printed gray usually manages. That detail reads best in rooms with good light, where the highlights have something to work with. It is a natural fit alongside painted cabinetry and honed stone.
Pairs Well With
White and dove gray walls, brushed nickel fixtures, charcoal accents, cream boucle textiles, black-framed windows.
Best For
Modern farmhouse great rooms, gray-palette remodels, work-from-home offices, upscale rentals, transitional bedrooms.
Gray · Wilmont
Twilight Oak
Light silver-gray that opens a room up.
Twilight Oak is the brightest color in the Wilmont range, and the cerused figure keeps that lightness from going blank across a large open plan. It is the one to choose when a small room needs to feel larger or a dark room needs lifting. Pale floors do best a step back from the entry door, where grit gets caught first.
Pairs Well With
Crisp white walls, blonde wood furniture, matte black hardware, sheer linen drapery, minimalist decor.
Best For
Scandinavian-inspired interiors, bright open-plan spaces, boutique rentals, airy bedrooms, small rooms needing light.
Gray · Wilmont
Woodrift Gray
Steady coastal gray, specified for the busy end of the house.
Woodrift Gray keeps its movement subtle enough to run through a whole lower level without the floor becoming the loudest thing in the room. The weathered sawn texture is the practical part in a mudroom-adjacent hallway, where it absorbs grit and wet footprints visually. It reads cool without going blue, so it works with both white and greige walls.
Pairs Well With
White and misty blue walls, galvanized metal accents, chunky natural textiles, whitewashed shiplap, matte black fixtures.
Best For
Coastal-modern living rooms, high-traffic rentals, basement lounges, casual offices, mudroom-adjacent hallways.
Tan · Wilmont
Lime Washed Oak
Sunny sandy blonde that takes real traffic.
Lime Washed Oak carries enough warmth to keep a north-facing room from feeling cold and enough pale limed detail to stay bright in full sun. The natural knots are useful in a beach house or a rental, where sand and grit arrive with every visitor. It works with painted furniture, rope, and rattan without any styling effort.
Pairs Well With
White and cream walls, natural rattan furniture, antique brass hardware, striped cotton textiles, sea-glass blues and greens.
Best For
Beach houses, casual great rooms, vacation rentals, breakfast nooks, sunlit hallways.
Brown · Wilmont
Bleached Elm
A composed taupe with a 20 mil surface behind it.
Bleached Elm is the color to run wall to wall when the goal is one continuous floor through the main level: smooth figure, an even finish, and nothing that ties it to a single style of furniture. At 20 mil the same plank handles an office with client traffic as comfortably as a bedroom, so the material does not have to change at the doorway. Seven-inch widths keep the proportion right in average rooms.
Pairs Well With
Warm white walls, brushed brass hardware, oatmeal and flax textiles, light wood furniture, soft layered neutrals.
Best For
Open-plan living areas, home offices with client traffic, upscale rentals, bright bedrooms, neutral whole-home installs.
Brown · Wilmont
Burnished Acacia
Espresso depth for a room meant to make an impression.
The curling figure keeps Burnished Acacia from flattening into a single dark mass, which is what separates a convincing dark floor from a dull one. It suits a dining room or an executive office where the lighting is controlled and the furniture is substantial. Dark floors show settled dust sooner, so give it a room with a rug and a routine.
Pairs Well With
Cream and ivory walls, aged brass fixtures, velvet upholstery, smoked glass lighting, rich jewel-toned accents.
Best For
Statement dining rooms, executive offices, moody dens, boutique-style bedrooms, dramatic entryways.
Brown · Wilmont
Charcoal Oak
Atmospheric depth built for high-traffic ground.
The pale distressed flecks scattered through the darker ground catch the light and keep Charcoal Oak from reading as a flat plane, which matters in a long hallway where a plain dark floor can feel like a tunnel. That texture also hides the marks a busy entry collects. It sits well with steel, brick, and black metalwork.
Pairs Well With
Light gray and white walls, blackened steel accents, concrete-look counters, leather seating, Edison-style lighting.
Best For
Industrial-modern lofts, busy family entries, contemporary offices, high-traffic hallways, restaurant-inspired kitchens.
Brown · Wilmont
Reclaimed Oak
Rough-sawn character with a commercial-grade surface.
The rough-sawn marks give Reclaimed Oak a surface that reads as worked rather than printed, and that texture is the reason it holds up visually in a family command center or a busy entry hall. Twenty mil of wear layer keeps the character looking intentional rather than accumulated. It anchors cream walls, iron hardware, and open shelving.
Pairs Well With
Warm white walls, black iron lighting, butcher-block surfaces, vintage leather chairs, woven wool rugs.
Best For
Farmhouse kitchens, family command centers, rustic offices, busy entry halls, warm casual dining rooms.

Wilmont FAQ
The questions homeowners and designers ask when comparing the Wilmont colors and specifications.
What is MSI Everlife Wilmont?
Wilmont is the heaviest specification in MSI's glue-down group: a 2.5mm dryback plank measuring 7 inches by 48 inches, with a commercial-grade 20 mil CrystaLux wear layer and a lifetime limited residential warranty. There are 8 active colors.
Is MSI Everlife Wilmont waterproof?
Yes, the plank is 100% waterproof and rated for radiant heat. Because it is bonded directly to the subfloor, the substrate must be flat, clean, dry, and properly prepared before the adhesive is applied.
What is the wear layer on Wilmont?
Wilmont carries a 20 mil CrystaLux wear layer above the printed design. Twenty mil is a commercial-grade specification, which is why Wilmont suits entries, mudroom-adjacent halls, rentals between tenants, and offices with client traffic.
What size are Wilmont planks?
Every Wilmont color is 7 inches by 48 inches, at 39.52 square feet per box. Seven inches keeps the plank in proportion in ordinary rooms rather than requiring an open plan to look right.
How is Wilmont installed?
Wilmont is a full-spread glue-down dryback plank with no acclimation period. Prepare the subfloor flat, clean, and dry first, since adhesive telegraphs whatever is left underneath. The full bond is what keeps the floor solid under constant traffic.
Is Wilmont a good choice for pets and busy homes?
It is the strongest fit in the glue-down group for that use. Twenty mil handles claws, rolling chairs, and daily traffic, and Reclaimed Oak, Charcoal Oak, and Woodrift Gray carry the texture that keeps grit and scuffs from showing.
Which Wilmont color is best for a bright room?
Twilight Oak is the palest, with Lime Washed Oak next for warmth rather than brightness. Both open a room up. Compare samples against the room's cabinetry and trim, since a silver-gray floor can read cool under north-facing light.
How do I choose between the Wilmont colors?
Bleached Elm and Twilight Oak are the easiest to run wall to wall. Elmwood Ash and Woodrift Gray suit gray and coastal schemes. Lime Washed Oak and Reclaimed Oak bring texture to hardworking rooms. Charcoal Oak and Burnished Acacia take the room deeper. Several of these colors also exist in Katavia and Glenridge at lower wear tiers if a quieter room does not need 20 mil.
