COREtec’s biggest advantage is their unique, and patented, construction. Unlike other luxury vinyl flooring options, COREtec floors have a special core structure. This structure does more than simply give COREtec its name; it provides strength, support, and dimensional stability to the entire floor. With the core structure, COREtec floors are waterproof, so they will never expand or contract in moist settings. 

Plus, the core structure protects the individual COREtec planks so that they will never break or collapse from foot traffic or other impacts. In addition to the core structure, COREtec floors have an attached cork underlayment that functions as the bottom layer. This underlayment, because of its cork construction, is relatively soft and flexible, so COREtec floors are rather comfortable and quiet underfoot. Moreover, the cork underlayment makes it possible to install COREtec floors over most subfloors, even those that aren’t perfectly flat. Many other luxury vinyl floors can only be installed over flat and even subfloors. 

Wood Look Luxury Vinyl

COREtec floors are made to resemble real wood and stone floors. Because COREtec relies on innovative design technology, these looks are truly authentic. So, since COREtec floors are exceptionally durable, they are great for adding the natural beauty of wood or stone to areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
