COREtec Floors Originals VV662 Vinyl Plank Flooring

Most vinyl floors look fine in the box; what separates them is the wear layer, the thing that decides whether the floor still looks new in five years.

In simple terms: COREtec Floors Originals VV662 is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is 100% waterproof and built to take real-life traffic. It is WPC, Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

The build and the spec: This is a WPC floor, a wood-polymer composite core that is rigid like rigid-core but with a little more give, so it feels warmer and softer underfoot and runs quieter, a nice touch in kitchens and rooms you stand in for a while. The wear layer is a heavy 30 mil, built for commercial traffic, so a busy household barely touches it. On vinyl, that mil number is the best single predictor of how long the floor keeps looking new, more than thickness or price. It is 100% waterproof top to bottom, not merely water-resistant, so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and entries are all fair game. It comes with an attached acoustic pad, which softens sound between floors and means one less layer to buy and lay. Planks run up to 9 inches wide and 55 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. Micro-bevelled edges define each plank for a more authentic look. It is also GREENGUARD certified. It is backed by a Lifetime and structural residential and 15-year heavy commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Aleta Oak, Ellidy Oak, Empire Oak, Goldin Oak, and Lotte Oak.

Installation is in-house and never subcontracted, across the Toronto and Mississauga area up to Barrie and Simcoe County. We check the subfloor, prep it, and set the floor, then handle the trim. Browse our projects or the vinyl installation page.

Decision line: Originals VV662 is the warmer, softer-feeling option, a good fit where comfort underfoot is worth a slightly thicker board.
