About Proximity Mills
Proximity Mills is a direct-to-consumer flooring brand that focuses on delivering premium flooring products at accessible price points. By cutting out the middleman and selling directly, Proximity Mills is able to offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. Their product line includes SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) vinyl plank, WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) vinyl plank, and laminate flooring.
Product Lines
SPC Vinyl Plank
Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) is Proximity Mills' most popular product line. SPC features a rigid stone-plastic core that is 100% waterproof, highly durable, and resistant to dents and impacts. Available in a wide range of wood-look and stone-look designs.
WPC Vinyl Plank
Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) offers a softer, more comfortable feel underfoot compared to SPC. WPC is also 100% waterproof and features a foam underlayment for added cushioning and sound absorption.
Laminate Flooring
Proximity Mills laminate features realistic wood visuals with a durable wear layer. Available in a range of plank widths and lengths, with water-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms.

Proximity Mills for Michigan Homes
Proximity Mills SPC and WPC products are well-suited for Michigan's climate. Their 100% waterproof construction handles Michigan's humidity swings, basement moisture, and the inevitable spills from Michigan winters (wet boots, melting snow). The rigid SPC core resists denting and indentation better than softer WPC products.
Proximity Mills is primarily a direct-to-consumer brand, which means availability at local Michigan flooring showrooms can be limited. Quality Hardwoods of Michigan carries select Proximity Mills products — call ahead to confirm current stock: (248) 853-2232.
For Michigan homeowners comparing Proximity Mills to other LVP brands, Proximity Mills offers competitive pricing for the quality level. Their SPC products compare favorably to COREtec and McMillan at a lower price point. The trade-off is thinner wear layers on entry-level products and less brand recognition for resale purposes.
