Why Homeowners & Designers Choose COREtec Flooring Luxury Vinyl
COREtec flooring is waterproof luxury vinyl plank and tile built on a rigid core — a category COREtec invented with its original WPC (wood-plastic composite) construction. Every COREtec floor combines a 100% waterproof core, a scratch-resistant wear layer, realistic wood or stone visuals, and an attached cork or foam underlayment that makes the floor quieter and warmer than standard LVP. The lineup spans seven collections: Originals Classics, Enhanced, and Premium (WPC comfort), Pro Classics, Enhanced, and Premium (SPC durability), and COREtec Tile. As an authorized COREtec dealer, Carpets in Dalton carries the full line at dealer pricing with free samples and nationwide shipping.
