CoreTEC Plus XL-E Fairweather Oak / Harrison Oak...Bevel or No Bevel?
Comments (13)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!...See MoreCairo oak LVP by coretec

Comments (144)Love the color, it is exactly what we wanted. As for quality, it‘s our 1st experience with LVP (we are more used to engineered hardwood), and we’re glad we went with the CoreTEC Grande line. I‘m not sure we’d like a thinner LVP that doesn‘t have that super realistic surface layer or the weight to it. The CoreTEC Grande planks are super realistic, heavy and thick, more like wood would be. And they transition nicely to floor tile. Plus, they have a slightly thicker cork layer on the bottom (compared to most LVP planks) and it does feel very nice underfoot. Overall, it’s holding up very well and still looks like new. It’s a little more difficult to get rub or scuff marks off but it resists dog claws and our kids‘ toys better than wood does. One thing to note…if you plan to use rugs with a polypropylene backing on them (most on Wayfair or Amazon have this backing), you need to use a special rug pad in order to protect the floor from developing serious surface problems. Wool or cotton rugs are fine, though. We have two rugs with polypropolene backing, so we bought a couple rug pads from Rug Pad USA before laying down those rugs. So yes, so far so good for us. Good luck and make sure you hire a good installer. There are definitely some tricks to installing the Grande line as the tongue and groove mechanism is VERY fragile. Use a scrap piece of a plank as an install block instead of a regular floor install block. The scrap piece fits together with the plank you are installing and when you hammer the scrap piece (or a regular block up against a scrap piece), it pushes the plank into place without breaking the tongue and groove material, if that makes sense. A regular block just crushes the tongue and groove material once you start hammering. Anyways, sorry for the long post. Hope its hepful....See MoreCorTec Cairo Oak or Madrid Oak?
Comments (10)Ok, gotcha. I do like both. Can you not do engineered real wood floors? does it have to be LVP? And you never said if these floors are going throughout, or just the kitchen. what kind of flooring is there now (or was there?) The floor in your pic above is closer to Madrid than cairo. If you have a gray wood table and chairs, then I think the Madrid would work better. if you want the Agreeable gray walls, they lean away from yellow and more towards taupe, the Madrid would look better. Here's cairo again here are your farmhouse gray tones. even the flooring in this pic is closer to Madrid. How about Calypso Oak? less yellow https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5911509/coretec-cairo-oak-vs-calypso-oak what kind of countertop? a granite? quartz? Both Cairo. I think warmer whites, soft sage and blues and yellow based grays work better w/this flooring. why not get a box of both and lay them out in your room. get your paint color samples, and cabinet door samples and lay everything out together so you can see?...See MoreC D
