Top Brand Spotlight: Why COREtec Flooring Is a Floors USA Favorite

Monday, September 18, 2023 10:55 AM

First created in Piet Dossche’s spare bedroom in 2001, COREtec Flooring is now known for durability, style, and innovation. COREtec is now patented and owned by Shaw Flooring, a brand that’s been voted #1 for over a decade.

COREtec offers luxury vinyl tile that provides the realistic look of natural hardwood but with added water resistance and the strength of its proprietary layers of construction. When investing in a flooring update, choosing a brand you can trust is essential. In this blog, we’ll share why we’ve been recommending COREtec for years.

COREtec Flooring’s Durable Construction

COREtec flooring is constructed of four layers:

The solid construction of COREtec luxury vinyl tile makes it rigid and able to withstand years of wear and tear, and the extruded core adds extra water protection and guards against expanding and contracting.

1. Top wear layer featuring a realistic design image.
2. Support layer just below the wear layer.
3. Wood plastic or stone plastic extruded composite layer.
4. Bottom underlayment layer.
