If you’re after a floor that looks like luxury but lives like real life, COREtec flooring checks every box. It’s soft underfoot, tough under pressure, and seriously stylish. Built to handle busy households, pets, spills, and everything in between, COREtec’s engineered vinyl plank (EVP) flooring delivers the durability you need with the design you actually want to show off.

 

One of the standout favorites? The COREtec Original Enhanced Collection. It’s waterproof, low-maintenance, and a dream to install — all while capturing the rich textures and natural tones of hardwood flooring (without the constant upkeep). Whether you're updating a family room or reimagining a retail space, this collection blends performance and personality in every plank.

So, what exactly is EVP? Think of it as the next generation of luxury vinyl flooring. Engineered in layers, each plank features a strong, stable core, a high-definition wood-look image, and a durable top layer that resists wear, scratches, and water — perfect for the real-life messes that happen in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic zones.

 

The result? A floor that laughs in the face of scratches, dents, and spills. COREtec EVP flooring is built to handle it all — from kitchen chaos and steamy bathrooms to damp basements and even the wear and tear of heavy commercial spaces. It’s the kind of surface that looks great and holds up under pressure, day after day.

Why COREtec Original Enhanced Takes Engineered Vinyl Plank Flooring (EVP) to the Next Level

When it comes to engineered vinyl plank, the COREtec Original Enhanced Collection doesn’t just meet expectations — it raises the bar. Here's what makes it a standout choice for homeowners and pros alike:


  • Authentic Texture, Unbelievably Realistic Looks: Each plank is crafted with embossed-in-register (EIR) technology, which means the grain patterns you see are the ones you feel. Whether you’re going for soft oak or rich walnut, this realistic wood-look flooring comes impressively close to the real thing.


  • 100% Waterproof Core: Got moisture? No problem. The waterproof core in every COREtec Enhanced plank resists warping and swelling, even in damp spaces like kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. It’s built for everyday messes — and then some.


  • Soft, Quiet, and Family-Friendly: Thanks to a built-in cork underlayment, these floors feel as cozy as they look. They absorb sound, reduce footstep noise, and add a little give underfoot — ideal for homes with kids, pets, or anyone who values peace and quiet.


  • No Glue, No Fuss Installation: With its easy angle-tap locking system, installing COREtec Original Enhanced is quick, clean, and frustration-free. Whether you're a contractor looking to save time or a DIYer ready to dive in, this system makes flooring feel refreshingly simple.

 


The Ideal Choice for Busy Lives

Whether you’re refreshing a rental or giving your forever home a facelift, COREtec vinyl flooring is built to keep up with everyday life. Its best feature? Low-maintenance beauty. Just sweep, mop, and go. No special cleaners, no constant upkeep — just floors that look great without demanding your weekend. It’s the perfect match for busy households, growing families, and anyone who wants style that doesn’t come with a to-do list.

If you’re looking to breathe a little easier, EVP flooring is a smart alternative to carpet. Its closed-cell construction means it won’t trap dust, pollen, or pet dander — making it a great option for allergy-sensitive households. Plus, there’s no waxing, sanding, or refinishing required. Just simple care and cleaner air, year after year.



Stylish Choices That Don't Compromise

With the COREtec Enhanced collection, you don’t have to sacrifice style for performance. You’ll find dozens of on-trend finishes, from breezy bleached oak to deep, rustic wood tones — perfect for everything from modern lofts to classic townhomes.


Prefer wide and long planks? You’re in luck. These styles not only make rooms feel bigger and more open, but the beveled edges add just the right amount of depth and texture to elevate your space. Whether your home leans contemporary, traditional, or somewhere in between, there’s a COREtec look to match your vibe.

Of course, COREtec Enhanced floors look amazing — but it’s what’s underneath that really seals the deal. Every plank is engineered for structural stability, so it won’t curl, shift, or fade over time. That means your floors stay flat, secure, and beautiful, no matter how much life happens on top of them. It’s not just a surface-level upgrade — it’s performance you can count on for years to come.
