has anyone installed CoreTec St. Andrews Oak?

6 years ago

hello,

we are doing a new construction in the spring. I have been researching LVP for many months. but trying to find a color and texture has been super hard. I have samples from Flooret - Modin, which are very nice but not sure I want a 9" wide plank, the wear layer is awesome at 40mil.

The other is Coretec, and they have almost too many choices. torn between gray-multitonal and more traditional colors, like the St Andrews Oak. But I am not sure from stock photos what the true color of St Andrews is? anyone have pics?

thank you

I do not have pictures of that specific floor. If it helps, here's a couple coretec pictures we've recently installed if you want to compare them with their online stock photos to see how different it looks.

Thank you for the pics. The Sherwood Rustic Pine looks nice. I wonder how that color tone compares to the St. Andrews? I am thinking it would be a good neutral flooring that would allow for various cabinet and wall coloring. To work instead of compete.

Help! CoreTec Cairo Oak or Paradigm Performer Plus Goose?
Q
Comments (0)
Hello! We need to make a decision on LVP and our top 2 are: Coretec Pro Plus Enhanced XL Cairo Oak and Paradigm Performer Plus in Goose. I like both for different reasons. Can't find anything online for the Paradigm, a ton on Cairo Oak. So...Anyone that has installed the CoreTec or the Paradigm, can you let me know how it's held up. are you happy with the floors? We are doing our entire house so I'm very nervous to pick the wrong floors! So many of the flooring stores we've gone to always say Coretec is one of the best, but I rather hear from actual customers to be sure. :) Also, for the Cairo Oak - is it too knotty or is there a good print variation? THANK YOU ALL in advance! PS: photo is of Cairo Oak (from Coretec website) just as FYI

Does anyone have pictures of CoreTec blended praline?
Q

I had found it very helpful to see photos of floors in different spaces before narrowing in/deciding on Manila. But I understand your point and agree, it was obvious when we brought samples into our home if we liked it or not. In this scenario, we committed and loved the Manila and had defective boards installed and I am wary to stay in the same line of production due to discussions on other threads. Our flooring guy has recommended we try again and that it is unlikely to encounter the issue again, but I would like backup options similar to Manila to consider. I think the Blended Praline is a pretty close match from the sample, but have found very few photos of the Blended Praline installed and it has moderate variation in the planks that could result in an unwanted distracting pattern on the floor in our space. Here are some photos of the blended praline sample in our space. The visualizers are helpful but limited, they don't accurately represent bevels or the pattern/tone.

I got samples of Coretec from an online distributor (Best Laminate). Granted these are small samples (maybe five-six inches of a plank) but at least I can see if the tone of the product is what I want. To my mind, St. Andrews Oak has a slight yellow tint to it (like a golden-brown oak). If you haven't already, you might want to order some samples and use those to narrow down your choices. Good luck.

Also check out the massive "anyone used Coretec" discussion that has over 3000 comments, it will take a while to download but I'm 90% certain someone posted St. Andrews pix there.

I did get samples of the Sherwood rustic pine. The samples colors show a lot more gray, than what was shown in the photos.
