Why Vinacork? A floor for every room!
Vinacork combines the durability of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with the warmth, comfort underfoot, and sustainability of Natural Cork for an LVT floor like no other. While most LVT floors have to be installed using messy, odor-causing adhesives, Vinacork is built on a glueless HDF locking plank that can be installed just like an ordinary laminate floor. Unlike a laminate floor, Vinacork's durable and resilient LVT top layer will not chip or dent like laminate floors are prone to do. While the material cost of Vinacork may be a little more than glue down LVT, when you factor in the total installation cost including installation materials, floor prep, and extended installation time of glue down LVT, Vinacork offers a superior value!

PRODUCT ASSORTMENT
- Vinacork includes 6 popular wood visuals including oak, cherry and pine in traditional, rustic, and weathered looks. The size of these square edge planks is 5 1/2" wide x 48 1/32" long x 13/32" thick with 14.7 sq. ft. per carton.
- In addition, Vinacork includes 3 beautiful stone visuals in tile format size 17 1/2" wide x 23 13/16" long x 13/32" thick with 23.9 sq. ft. per carton. These stone looks are stunning as you will see in the photos in the binder.
- All products feature the CorkLoc glueless installation profile, Lifetime Residential Warranty, and 15 Year Commercial Warranty.
- Durable and resilient Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) top layer that, unlike a comparable laminate floor, will not chip or dent.
- Natural cork middle layer directly underneath the LVT layer that adds enhanced resilience, improved comfort underfoot, and additional thermal and sound insulation.
- Moisture resistant HDF core milled with the CorkLoc glueless installation profile for a fast and easy glue-free installation.
- Edges sealed with JointProtect to protect topical spill from penetrating to the subfloor.
- Attached cork underlayment further improves thermal and sound insulation and eliminates the need for a separate cushion underlayment.
- The glueless plank format of Vinacork is a new innovation when applied to LVT floors as much of the market for LVT is glue down installation.
- The addition of cork in the middle layer and attached underlayment adds a sustainability factor, comfort underfoot, thermal and sound insulation, and enhanced resilience. These benefits are not available on your typical LVT product.
- Vinacork's INSTALLED cost is less expensive than glue down LVT. The material cost for glue down LVT is cheaper than Vinacork, but when you factor in the cost of installation materials, floor prep, and installation time, Vinacork is the superior value!
- Vinacork is a glueless floating floor and does not require glues and adhesives that are required for glue down LVT. This provides a faster, cleaner installation without the odors associated with glues and adhesives.
- Vinacork is more forgiving to imperfections in the subfloor than glue down LVT. Glue down LVT requires extensive floor prep and floor leveling compounds and any imperfection will telescope through the floor and be visible on the surface.
- Vinacork can be walked on immediately after installation resulting in less downtime.
- Vinacork's CorkLoc glueless profile allows homeowners the option of DIY installation. Glue down LVT typically requires a professional installer resulting in a higher cost of installation.
- Vinacork is an odor-free installation. Odors from glues and adhesives used to install glue down LVT can linger in the home for days, even weeks.
- Vinacork has comfort underfoot, adds warmth to the floor, resists mold and mildew, and is a quieter floor due to the incorporation of cork in the middle layer and attached underlayment. Glue down LVT floors cannot make these claims.
