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.

Cortex LVT Flooring is now owed by Shaw Floors. You can go on this link and request up to 3 free samples and they will ship them to you fast and for free. Free LVP & LVT Flooring Samples | COREtec (coretecfloors.com) We put Cortec LVT in our great room/kitchen/dining and guest bath of our log home five years ago and we love it. I like the cork backing for its sound deafening properties and Cortec is waterproof. We live in Montana snow country. It stands up to our large dogs (70+ lbs.). We have recently ordered Nantucket Oak to put in our master bath.

I have the Home Depot Lifeproof LPV being put down now. It is a beautiful chevron design in light color wood grain. We are half way though and I want to rip it out. It looks gorgeous and that is the only good thing. The fake wood grooves hold dust and grit. I vacuumed, swept, swiffered mopped and mopped again and finally on hands and knees washed and dried the floor and if you run a hand over it there is still dust and grit. Also, I kept hearing about the good sound quality in a room compared to other hard floors and that it was not as cold as tile. BS on that too. I gave the installers a day off on a Friday hoping I would feel better about it in a few days. Nope. I feel like a fool. I spent almost $10,000 and even though it is gorgeous, I hate how cold it is and the grit just will not go away. I am in such a quandary. It was very difficult to prep the house for the installation. While it would be financially foolish, it may be better to ditch it now. Very said here in Colorado.

@Andrea Norris I didn’t yet I am still debating on what to do. I decided against the cortec herringbone bc the grout lines were thicker then what I wanted. Still hunting but thinking of doing this herringbone by Innova
