Our green story
Sustainability is at the core of Coretec®. From using natural materials to creating floors that last a lifetime and enjoy multiple lives, we seize every opportunity to contribute to a sustainable future.
Cork: a game changer in sustainable flooring
Coretec® floors feature an attached cork underlay. Sourced from cork oak, which can be harvested every 10 years without harming the tree, cork is one of the most sustainable materials available. In addition, cork has numerous practical benefits: it provides a warm surface underfoot, absorbs sound, hides imperfections from underlying surfaces, and offers natural protection against mould.
Floors that last a lifetime
At Coretec®, we believe in a world where things last. By creating durable floors that stand the test of time, we eliminate the need to replace your floor about every 10 or 15 years, significantly reducing the waste from discarded flooring. Our extended warranties underline this philosophy: lifetime warranty for residential use, 10-year warranty for commercial use.
Second Life Floors
Coretec® floors are not only made to last, they also enjoy multiple lives through our circular Second Life Floors programme. After picking up your old floor, we’ll bring it to a sheltered workshop. Here, it is thoroughly cleaned using special Coretec® organic products to restore it to a like-new condition. The reconditioned floor is resold as second-hand or donated to non-profit and youth organisations.
Floors for healthy interiors
Coretec® floors contribute to healthier living and working environments. Our floors meet the standards of many sustainable labels and certificates. The GREENGUARD GOLD certification, for example, is recognised as one of the most stringent in the world and goes beyond the A+ rating for indoor air quality. What’s more, our flooring emits low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is asthma and allergy friendly, and free of phthalates and heavy metals such as lead.
