Why COREtec flooring

  • Inventor of waterproof rigid-core LVP — COREtec patented the SPC rigid-core construction in 2012. Industry-leading R&D continues to define the category.
  • Attached cork-rubber underlayment — Standard across the COREtec line for sound dampening, warmth underfoot, and seam stability — a category-leading inclusion.
  • Lifetime residential warranties — Industry-leading warranty coverage backs the durability claim.
  • Realistic visuals — EIR (Embossed-In-Register) surfaces with 4-side bevels read as authentic wood and stone at conversational distance.
  • 100% waterproof construction — SPC core cannot absorb moisture — install in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and any wet area.
