I have had both. We just moved from a home with Lifeproof LVP into a home with COREtec. Lifeproof feels really more comfortable to walk on. It has a more rubbery underlay and much more comfortable for standing for long periods of time. Going from laminate flooors, we immediately noticed the comfort and it never felt cold, like the laminate or COREtec. COREtec is much harder on the feet, but looks more realistic to hardwood flooring.

We have SONO Pacific Beach throughout our entire home (over 2100 sq ft) It was installed in 2018. This is a summer home that has been used maybe 5-7 weekends a year up until last June when we moved in full time. It is only my husband and myself and an occasional visit from kids/grandkids. The entire floor is failing. The short ends of the boards are all lifting and gapping, and we have two boards with ends that have completely broken off. Inhaus is refusing to warranty this, other than providing a direct product swap (no install) or a reimbursement for the WHOLESALE price that they sold it to the distributor for. The distributor has dropped their entire line and does not carry it anymore, so Inhaus is saying they are not responsible for that portion of the warranty. Why is this in any way my problem? It is a MANUFACTURER'S defect, the distributor and installer should not have any part of this transaction. When a company warranties a product, that warranty should include removal and replacement. Looking for advice from anyone else out there who is in this position. I think there should be a full reimbursement by Inhaus... maybe a class action lawsuit is in order? Anyone else reached out for legal advice on this? I would like to add... this floor is extremely hard to keep clean. I have to wash three times (three times in a row) in order to get the mop and water to come up clean. I have never had any issues with stone/wood floors before... Just this man-made garbage. Travertine and hardwood don't offgas either... Stick with what is natural. It costs more, but it is worth it in the end, finacially and for the sake of you and your family's health.

For some reason, my initial post got cut off :(. We only have a real-life sample of the Everest Oak but my husband isn't a fan of the bevel so we're looking at one of the CoreTec Pro Plus products (thinner plank vs. the wider XL of Everest Oak) and hoping that one of the above colors listed is a close match. (The online photos of Everest Oak make it look a lot pinker/greener/darker than it looked in real life.) Additional Details Since the room we plan to put it in is long (9x20) but darker (only a small window), we wanted to go with a lighter color overall to brighten up the space, but still hoped to add warmth and not be purely white or grey for the flooring. We also looked at CaliVinyl's White Aspen, but it was a little too silver / cool colored for the room. Another sample that we also liked was Waddington Oak - ideally, whatever we choose would be a mix between Everest (white-washed but with tan/grey undertones) and Waddington (light tan), but without the bevels and in narrower planks. It'd be nice to not have tons of knots or too much texture in the visual of the plank (even though I want it to look like wood). Throwing this in: I'm a huge fan of IKEA and if they still sold their Tundra/Slatten laminate line, I'd have gone for it. We are turning this room into a nursery, and I just have strong positive associations with IKEA's flooring even if most might find it to be playful/childish in color. Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated! (We are open to other brands and lines of LVT product as well but are hoping to make a decision soon.) Thank you!

Here is the color we are contemplating. Very difficult to visualize with such a small sample.
