Now you can revel in the eye-popping appeal of COREtec luxury vinyl in your home day in and day out. COREtec looks great and performs even better. In fact, it’s 100% waterproof, kidproof, and petproof. And with its cork underlay, it’s uber comfy underfoot.

Of course, this particular post is also a celebration of Groundhog Day. That one time of the year when the beloved Puxsutawney Phil either sees his shadow and we have six more weeks of frigid winter weather, or he doesn’t and everyone seems to enjoy a much sunnier outlook.

So in honor of Phil and those long-cherished festivities, we thought we’d take a quick look at the merits of you choosing light or dark COREtec vinyl plank flooring for your home.

What the lighter side of COREtec can do for you.

Without throwing shade at darker hues, there’s a lot be gained by choosing whitewashed, white oak or blonde colored COREtec for your floor. Just like it does for traditional hardwood flooring, lighter COREtec LVP provides you with a lighter, more natural, more casual feel.

Since it also allows light to bounce around more, a lighter tint on your floor can actually make a small room feel substantially larger. And instead of competing with your other design elements, light COREtec vinyl flooring allows the rest of your décor to truly shine. It also looks particularly great as a counterbalance if you happen to have dark-colored furniture.

That being said, don’t be afraid of the dark.

Again, just like it does with hardwood flooring, darker colors of COREtec can help you quickly create a rich and elegant feel in just about any room. Choosing a dark pine, walnut or hickory hue can make a cavernous room feel decidedly cozier. And a number of studies indicate that having a darker hardwood look on your floor can actually increase your home’s resale value.
