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!

Following. I got a sample of this flooring today and am also considering it.

If you put manila in the search bar - you should get posts with that word. It doesn't always work but here's one with several photos of different installations. It looks really nice. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5145335/manila-oak-cortec-photos-needed#n=31

You buy a box and bring it home and lay it out in your space . All the pics from all the people will not help you at all.
