The COREtec Grande Vanilla Almond Maple 9" Luxury Vinyl Collection is subtle yet expressive: delicate and light with warm grey undertones. Smooth grain evokes coastal morning sea mist—a serene, modern neutral rooted in nature. Built with an extra-thick foamed WPC core, these floors provide a softer, more cushioned step, reduce noise, and keep your home warmer year-round. Everyday life is no challenge thanks to exceptional stain resistance and easy cleaning. The Originals Premium Collection takes realism to the next level with enhanced bevels that define each plank and Embossed-in-Register technology that perfectly aligns wood textures with their visuals for a true-to-life look. Every COREtec Originals style is backed by a 100% waterproof, kidproof, and petproof guarantee, along with a Lifetime Limited Warranty and GREENGUARD Gold Certification for healthier indoor air. From top to bottom, these planks are built for long-lasting performance: A UV acrylic finish resists stains and simplifies maintenance, a durable wear layer protects against scratches and heavy use—no sanding or refinishing required, a luxury vinyl design layer offers the widest variety of realistic wood looks and textures, a rigid WPC core ensures waterproof stability, comfort, and easy installation over most existing floors. Plus, the pre-attached cork underlayment provides extra warmth and sound reduction.
