Of all the rooms in your house, your kitchen is likely the busiest. It’s where you try out that new recipe you saw on Pinterest, spend time with family and friends or enjoy that perfect cup of coffee in the morning before the day's chaos ensues.
That activity can come at a cost though, and it's usually your floors that pay the price.
The kitchen floor sees it all, from spills to foot traffic to chair legs scraping back and forth at all hours of the day. This is why installing waterproof, durable and easy-to-clean kitchen flooring is so important.
Which COREtec Waterproof Vinyl Flooring is Best for My Kitchen Remodel?
Any type of COREtec flooring will work in your kitchen, but we can recommend a few "fan favorites" that homeowners love.
Explore COREtec Fan Favorites
Ravenswood Oak is an ashy blond waterproof vinyl plank flooring that coordinates well with the cool blues and greens that are popular in kitchens today. Like Cairo Oak, it's made for high traffic and durability.
Calypso Oak is a blond flooring style that lightens and brightens, bringing cheer to the heart of your home. It's made to be soft on your joints, warm underfoot and beautifully stain resistant.
Classic Travertine perfectly captures the balance between traditional and expressive. Plus, it’s easy to install and clean.

How COREtec Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Enhances Your Kitchen
COREtec vinyl plank flooring is made for all the rooms of your house, especially the kitchen. Here’s what you get when you choose COREtec luxury vinyl planks and tiles over other flooring options:
Warm, Natural Beauty
COREtec vinyl plank flooring is designed to mimic the look and feel of hardwood and tile floors.
Tile and hardwood floors are beautiful – full stop. They both radiate a natural charm that never goes out of style, which is exactly why our team of professional designers work so tirelessly to mimic and recreate their beauty, just without the installation and upkeep hassles.
COREtec planks and tiles come in various colors that mimic popular wood species and tile formats, so you can select the shade and style that best matches your aesthetic. We have a wide range of luxury vinyl flooring options, from the lightest ash to the darkest walnut and marble visuals.

Easy Maintenance
Natural hardwood floors are sensitive to the presence of moisture (to put it delicately). Because of that, it can be tough to clean them – even something like regular mopping can damage the floors over time. That’s also true for laminate, which is only water resistant.
COREtec kitchen vinyl flooring is much easier to maintain because its 100% waterproof, kidproof, petproof design can be mopped as frequently as needed to keep floors clean and attractive.
Sadly, tile floors aren’t much better in this regard. Just like installing tile floors, cleaning grout is toughhhhh – like resume-worthy tough. But with COREtec tile visuals, there aren’t any grout lines to clean. You’re welcome.
P.S. To make cleanup even easier (because who wants to spend all their time cleaning?), we offer a specialty COREtec floor cleaner. It’s tough on dirt but gentle on surfaces, which makes it safe and effective at cleaning your floors.

Durable, Waterproof Design
The kitchen is one of the wettest rooms in the house. Most have both a sink and a dishwasher, and plenty of water is spilled at both locations (not to mention spills that also happen during cooking).
These types of mishaps aren’t small issues. If left for too long, moisture can easily cause damage to hard surface floors like hardwood and laminate.
However, luxury vinyl plank flooring like COREtec is designed to withstand regular exposure to water, helping to prevent the warping, cracking or cupping seen in other floors.
P.S. Ask your local flooring retailer about our installation system that comes with an extended no-cupping warranty!
