COREtec Floors Originals Classics VV023 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 Classics VV023 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.

Here is what matters on this one. WPC means a wood-polymer composite core. It keeps the stability of rigid vinyl but adds a bit of cushion, so it is warmer and quieter underfoot than a stone core, which people notice most in kitchens and family rooms. 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. 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 4 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. It is also FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and GREENGUARD certified. It is backed by a Lifetime Resilient - Defects, Wear, Waterproof, Petproof residential and 10-year Light commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Antique Oak, Ashton Woods Oak, Baywood Oak, Belford Oak, and Brockport Oak.

Decision line: pick Originals Classics VV023 when underfoot comfort and quiet matter as much as waterproofing, such as kitchens and family rooms you stand in for a while.

Our own crew installs COREtec Floors Originals Classics VV023 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.

Vinyl reads differently across a full floor than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Originals Classics VV023 in person at either store.
