It all about engineering, using just the right materials, and leveraging lots of innovative layers. Please follow in your kids’ footsteps and read more.

Did somebody say “cannonball!”? COREtec is 100% waterproof.

While H2O is generally a no-no for most flooring, it’s no big deal for COREtec LVP or COREtec LVT. That’s because both feature a namesake and proprietary core layer that’s completely waterproof.

As a matter of fact, you could submerge that composite core layer underwater for a whole month and it wouldn’t warp or buckle one it. Which makes COREtec vinyl flooring an excellence choice even for spots in your home where water can be an ongoing issue. Like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and mudrooms.

Luxury vinyl that looks breathtaking. And like the real McCoy.

To make COREtec look just like real live hardwood or natural stone tile, that’s where the eye-catching luxury vinyl layer comes in. As opposed to just being flat, this layer is beveled to more closely mimic the appearance of real stone or wood grain.

In fact, some of the COREtec collection options even utilize a technology called EIR or Embossed In Register. This revolutionary process makes the texture and depth of the grain more intense and more realistic than ever.

Put a cork in it. That’s precisely what COREtec luxury vinyl did.

If you really want to get to the bottom of things, that’s where you’ll find COREtec vinyl’s very last layer which is none other than genuine cork. That cork backing will make your new floor warmer, quieter and infinitely ready for playtime no matter how rambunctious your kids or pets might happen to be.

That cork layer is also incredibly flexible which allows it to absorb any imperfections in the underlying subfloor. Which will also give your new COREtec vinyl flooring greater stability.

To top it all off, COREtec LVP offers you an extra thick wear layer.

COREtec, or COREtec the Original as some like to call it, also has you covered when it comes to protecting your new floor from getting scuffs or scratches. Particularly since man’s best friend may not necessarily be your floor’s best friend.

The proverbial cherry on top, this wear layer is so thick and protective that it’s actually rated for commercial levels of use. It also makes cleaning your COREtec quite a bit easier than other solid flooring alternatives.

And now that you know all about COREtec luxury vinyl, you just need to know where to go to get it. At Carpet Exchange, we have a wide array of COREtec to choose from and we’re right nearby. That’s what we call making the grade. And then some.
