Builders across America gravitated toward vinyl flooring during the late \u201880s because it was cost-efficient, easy to match with neutral color palettes, and easy to install. Unfortunately, many of the vinyl products manufactured during that era were easy to damage, bland, and unremarkable.<\/p>\n

Improvements in manufacturing processes have given vinyl flooring a new lease on life, though; the vinyl flooring available in today\u2019s marketplace is durable, beautiful, and functional. With annual sales increasing at an average rate of 26%, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is now the fastest-growing segment of the flooring industry.<\/p>\n

\"coretecCOREtec<\/em>\u2014one of the best LVP products on the market\u2014is a line of rigid, dimensionally stable, 100% waterproof luxury vinyl planks, manufactured by USFloors at its headquarters down in Dalton, Georgia. USFloors created COREtec\u2019s patented waterproof core by utilizing a mixture of polymers, recycled wood, and bamboo content, which make the product impervious to moisture, spills, and pet accidents.<\/p>\n

Additionally, COREtec flooring<\/strong> is dent resistant, will not expand or contract, and requires no acclimation time. COREtec\u2019s attached cork underlayment negates substrate imperfections and reduces noise while making the product naturally resistant to mold and mildew growth.<\/p>\n

USFloors meets the Greenguard Gold standards for compliance in the areas of indoor air quality, and the use of low-emission materials in all COREtec products<\/a>. Also, USFloors\u2014Georgia\u2019s largest harvester of solar energy\u2014uses solar panels as a means of decreasing the company\u2019s dependence on fossil fuels, as well as its draw on an aging energy grid.<\/p>\n

Very few corporations would voluntarily go to such great lengths in the name of renewable energy and clean air, but that is what makes USFloors and COREtec\u2019s commitment to sustainability all the more commendable.<\/p>\n
