COREtec Floors Pro Classic VV017 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 Pro Classic VV017 gives you the look of real wood in a waterproof, hard-wearing vinyl floor. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it and installs it with our own team.

Decision line: reach for Pro Classic VV017 where stability and waterproofing lead the list: basements, kitchens, condos, and over concrete.

The detail behind that: rigid-core stands for stone polymer composite, and that core is the point: it is hard, rigid, and stable, so the plank stays flat over uneven subfloors and ignores the temperature swings that move cheaper vinyl. It clicks together as a floating floor. The 20 mil wear layer puts it in heavy-residential, light-commercial territory, which is where vinyl earns its keep in a family home. With vinyl, the mil rating tells you more about longevity than the overall thickness does. Water is a non-issue: it is 100% waterproof through the whole plank, which is what makes it the go-to for bathrooms, kitchens, and below-grade rooms. 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 7 inches wide and 48 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. Micro-bevelled edges define each plank for a more authentic look. Colours in the range include Bakersfield Oak, Belmont Hickory, Biscayne Oak, Chesapeake Oak, and Copano Oak.

We install COREtec Floors Pro Classic VV017 with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. It floats over most existing hard floors once the base is flat and dry. Read how we work on the vinyl installation page, or see our projects.

We keep Pro Classic VV017 at both stores, where the texture and colour read properly. Contact us for stock, or start from our Toronto and Mississauga vinyl pages.
