Flooring Design Dilemma

Has anyone installed CoreTec Valor Oak floors?

4 years ago

We're deciding between Valor Oak and Provenza Finally Mine and I can't tell if the Valor Oak bevel is too distinct so would love to see some photos of it installed if possible.

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.

Hi DW- I love Coretec! I have used it in several applications including this Hair Salon, but also in a residential space. The color I used in both of these projects I am including here is Blackstone Oak, and it was selected because both of my clients wanted it to read Warm and cool, and this flooring had a nice mix of the two colors. With regard to the bevel, I would recommend avoiding it, as it does tend to make it harder to keep clean. While Coretec offers a lifetime warranty in a residential installation (assuming your installer does it to specs), but the bevels, while they are trendy, tend to show wear sooner since it exposes other areas of the flooring moreso than others, and dirt tends to get stuck inside of the creases more often. Good luck with your project! Sounds like you're on the right track! This is the blackstone oak in a residential installation. This is the same flooring in a Hair Salon Commercial installation. Both with out bevels so it will stay nice longer! Good luck on your project!

How will that help you? Seeing another picture will in no way tell you how it will be in your space with your stuff and your lighting. Can you get a box and bring it home and lay it out that honestly is the only way to know how it looks in your home.
