First impressions matter – even for floors. The natural look and feel of Coretec® is unmatched by any other type of flooring. We maintain this unparalleled appearance through every step: from design and register embossing to finish. Find out how we deliver on this commitment.
Inspiration from nature
Our Belgian designers are the creative minds behind Coretec®. Their designs give our floors their warm appearance. They take their inspiration literally from nature: through detailed scans of natural wood and stone. The results are used to create the lifelike decors for our floorings. Multiple scans are taken to avoid pattern repetitions. This is how Coretec® imitates pristine nature in all its facets.
"Thanks to innovative Embossed In Register technology, we can replicate not just the natural look, but the natural feel of real wood."
Thibault Lanchon, Technical Director at Coretec®
Embossed In Register for a realistic feel
Not only do Coretec® floors look natural, but they feel natural. This is done by means of printing or embossing, a process by which the top layer of the floor is given a structure you can feel. We take this a step further by means of register embossing. A process that matches the tactile structure with the unique pattern of the floor. In other words, you can actually feel the grain and knots you see. This tactile aspect creates an even more realistic floor experience.
High-quality finish
The natural appearance of our floors is also of paramount importance in the finish. The pressed bevels are a good example of this. These are joints that we press into the floor. This produces joints of the same colour as the floor, along the length of the planks or on all sides.
NO PRESSED BEVEL
PRESSED BEVEL ALL SIDES
The size of the planks also plays a part in the natural look. Their exceptional thickness, and dimensions of up to 210 cm by 30 cm, gives them the appearance of parquet – but without the fuss. The results speak for themselves: a floor almost indistinguishable from real wood to the naked eye, with a warm and realistic feel.
