COREtec Floors Coastal Luxe CR506 Vinyl Plank Flooring

The vinyl aisle is full of look-alikes at very different prices, and the difference usually comes down to two specs most shoppers never check.

In simple terms: COREtec Floors Coastal Luxe CR506 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: 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. It carries a 30 mil wear layer, a commercial-grade thickness that shrugs off heavy traffic, pets, and chairs. 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 8 inches wide and 72 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 backed by an USF Lifetime Resilient - Defects, Wear, Waterproof, Petproof residential and USF 10-year Medium commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Bourbon Maple, Espresso Mist Maple, Sandstone Maple, Coastal Dune Maple, and Vanilla Grove Maple.

We install COREtec Floors Coastal Luxe CR506 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.

Decision line: pick Coastal Luxe CR506 when underfoot comfort and quiet matter as much as waterproofing, such as kitchens and family rooms you stand in for a while.
