‘As a relative newcomer, with a product that does things differently, it’s such an honour to receive this award for the third year running. We’re a small team at COREtec and we’re so grateful that our retail partners have voted COREtec the best rigid floor once again.’
COREtec was invented in the USA back in 2012 and quickly became the American market leader by creating and defining an entirely new flooring category. 2016 saw Shaw Industries, the world’s largest carpet company, acquire COREtec and the brand was launched in mainland Europe.
‘COREtec in the UK is an even younger business and we love how close we are to our customers. The beauty of COREtec comes not just from what you can see and feel but also from what you don’t hear and what you can’t see. We pride ourselves on the most beautiful designs and the most realistic surfaces, but that’s just the start. Step onto any COREtec floor and the unique properties of our composite SoundCore mean the sensation underfoot captures the feel of a natural floor. This SoundCore and our natural cork backing also give great acoustic performance.
‘All this luxury is topped with confidence and durability, as every COREtec floor is 100% waterproof, R10 slip-resistant, suitable for all areas including conservatories, approved for use over underfloor heating, and backed by our lifetime guarantee in domestic installations and a 10-year guarantee in commercial settings. Add to all this that COREtec can be installed over uneven subfloors or existing floorcoverings and requires no glue or permanent fixing.’
COREtec is available from UK stock in a multitude of formats and finishes, with 115 flooring designs across three collections. The 8mm Naturals and Essentials collections offer wood plank designs in three lengths and three widths; herringbone planks in three sizes; multi-series woods in various designs, and contemporary stone tile designs in five different formats. The 15mm XL-End collection is unique in almost every way, with 2.1m long planks, a 0.8mm wear layer and 3mm of cork backing.
‘Thanks again to all our customers old and new, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.’
