Has anyone installer Coretec’s Zawn Oak flooring before? We are in the midst of trying to decide on floors and would love to see some photos if possible. Thanks!

We finally got the Zawn oak installed in our den! Here’s some photos in different lighting (This is a north-east facing room)

Night time with single lamp on

Day time natural night

Areas where shadows are cast (looks warmer)

Natural more direct light (looks cooler)

All of these photos were taken without filters. We are loving these floors and the warmth it’s added! We will be installing these throughout the house, I’ll try to keep updating with different rooms amd lighting

There is a pic right on the site on google . IMO not one bit different thn seeing it in someone elses house . Unless their house is exactly like yours there is no point. I ilke to buy a box and test it at home.

We brought home some large samples from a store today for our complete remodel. Left is Aurora and right is Zawn oak. The wall paint color is SW Alabaster which is an off-white. And just a scrap baseboard to see the coloring. I was originally drawn to the light flooring samples as that seems to be the trend right now, but after bringing home the Zawn we loved it. The bevel looks much

more natural and print more closely mimics real wood

mojomom We are thinking of the also getting the Blackstone Oak through our entire house. How does it stand up against footprints and smudges? How do you clean yours and is the upkeep constant? Thanks.

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.

Manila Oak vs Calypso Oak COREtec vinyl plank flooring
Q

I am having the same dilemna! We have to replace the flooring in our tiny vacation rental condo. I definitely want Coretec, but I'm having a hard time deciding between these two. I love the simplicity and elegance of the Calypso Oak, but worry that it will turn out too light. The Manila has such beautiful depth, but I'm afraid it might pull too much orange. All the photos of installed Calypso give the caveat that it is much lighter in reality. Too bad, because I love the way it looks in pics. I am also worried that Manila might be a bit busy. We bought our condo furnished and the sofa is staying. It is a queen sleeper, but it is patterned and in a darker color. Unfortunately I can't buy a box and try them both out since we have to have the installation done in a couple of weeks in between renters and we won't be there until the actual work begins. Also, the unit is pet friendly and I worry that paw prints might show up more easily in between housekeeping. Wish I could find something inbetween these two colors.

Thanks for your help @emersona. I agree that Zawn is really nice and especially love the real looking bevel. We are torn between that and Cairo Oak though which also seems really nice. My only hesitation with Zawn is if it could look too dark once fully installed and everywhere….

Yeah, Cairo oak is also beautiful in the pictures I’ve seen online. We ordered Zawn oak today, should be here in 2 weeks, will try to keep you updated once installed!

I love Zawn Oak! Thanks for sharing your pics. In the store, I considered it quite light, now that I have it in my house, I see the warmth, and it will be timeless. I am comparing to Ravenwood, and the Zawn looks better.
