has anyone installed CoreTec St. Andrews Oak?

7 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.

(Sherwood Rustic Pine, shown above)

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.

Not that color but we did install the CoreTec brand. We live it. It’s in a ski vacation rental and so far looks good and is easy to care for.

Do not buy this flooring!!!! Here is our experience. We put Cairo Oak by Coretec in out new build home in late 2021. We have 4 kids ages 9-1 and thought a LVP would be the most practical way to go. While I still agree LVP is great with kids this flooring is AWFUL! The color Cairo oak specifically eats anything it touches. Its sadly in our whole main floor so we are on it most of the day. This flooring makes holes in socks and in the knees of pants in literally two seconds. It has become quite costly replacing pants and sock for four kids. It is specifically this flooring. We have had other LVP flooring in past homes with kids and did not experience this. I tried reaching out to Coretec and got a careless response. It is very upsetting to spend such a large amount of money on flooring for a well known brand only to get a crappy quality in return. If you are looking at Cairo Oak from Coretec..keep looking. I wouldn't even recommend the brand after the way they handled their customer service.

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.
