COREtec Floors Originals Enhanced XL VV035 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 Enhanced XL VV035 is a wood-look vinyl plank that handles water, pets, and busy rooms without complaint. We carry it and install it in-house.

Decision line: pick Originals Enhanced XL VV035 when underfoot comfort and quiet matter as much as waterproofing, such as kitchens and family rooms you stand in for a while.

The detail behind that: The core is WPC, wood-polymer composite, the more comfortable of the rigid cores. It has a touch more give than stone-based rigid-core, so it feels softer and warmer to walk on while staying stable and flat. The 20 mil wear layer puts it in heavy-residential, light-commercial territory, which is where vinyl earns its keep in a family home. On vinyl, that mil number is the best single predictor of how long the floor keeps looking new, more than thickness or price. 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. An attached acoustic underlayment cuts down sound transfer and adds a little underfoot comfort, and it saves a separate pad on install. Planks run up to 9 inches wide and 72 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. Painted micro-bevelled edges frame each plank and hide the seams. It is backed by an USF 10-year Medium commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Appalachian Pine, Arvon Oak, Fairweather Oak, Hayes Oak, and Tolima Pine.

Our own crew installs COREtec Floors Originals Enhanced XL VV035 across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. A floating vinyl floor still needs a clean, flat base, so we level and prep first, then finish the trim and transitions. See our vinyl installation page.

It is worth seeing Originals Enhanced XL VV035 in person before deciding. Visit either store, contact us to confirm stock, and see more in the vinyl flooring range. For the full COREtec Floors range, see our COREtec Floors page.
