Many see our wood floors throughout our home and think they are “real” hardwood Floors. But, they are actually LVP flooring from Coretec. I wanted low maintenance floors and our contractor recommended that I look into them. I am so happy I did, because these floors sure can take a beating! With 3 boys and a dog, they are constantly being put to the test! We have lived in our home 3 years now and the floors still look like the day they were installed!

When you are choosing the best one for you, bring home samples! Colors can look different in the showroom lighting vs your home. Put them to the test! Scratch them up with various materials, drop items on them, spill things, ect…. See how they hold up! Place in sunshine to see the reflection when they are dirty. Have pets? Put some shedded hair on it to see how it looks, does it stand out or blend in? These were all things I thought about when I decided on our floor!
Though I love our floors, I did want to point out a few of the negatives. It dents! Where heavy furniture rests on the floor, it leaves dents! These are only noticeable to me when the sun shines in just right, but they don’t really go away.
Another issue is that you can see footprints on the floor. They did easily clean up, but again, if the sun is shining in just right, they are there! We did go with a darker floor, so I’m sure they show up more than a lighter floor, but if this will drive you crazy, this is not the floor for you!
Overall, the benefits of this floor outweighs the few negatives. I would not hesitate to use this flooring again. Hope this review helps you when you are considering what floors to choose!
