Need help with Coretec vinyl flooring decision!!

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Hi!
I need help deciding between what looks better in my galley kitchen...the Waddington Oak or the Cairo Oak from Coretec!
In picture 1- Waddington is on top, Cairo is in bottom
In picture 2- Cairo on top, Waddington on bottom
I like the knots in the Cairo a lot but th floor itself feels more rough in texture and doesn't feel smooth on your feet which I fear means cleaning will be a headache. The Waddington Oak is smoother and feels better but I worry it is too matchy-matchy with our countertop, and may make our kitchen look smaller as well...
Help!
(Please excuse the utter disaster that is our kitchen right now!)

    Samples aren't labeled as to which is which. I prefer the deeper color one.

    The one with the brown/white label on it, closest to us in the first picture (when picture expanded).

    Herbflavor so you think neither of these samples would work?

    Itsourcasa, that is my favourite because it has the knots, but it is just so rough feeling it's really weird. It's our first experience with vinyl so maybe most are like this??

    Re: will they work? I wouldn't tie a tone to counters when the brick wall is there. What you have to do is put all the stuff laying around in boxes and push them out for a few weeks . Get the lighting to the best it can be w bulbs...open the shades and let the light in. BRING Home some maybe reddish brown as in cherry looking....samples and lay them down straddling the two spaces. You're going way into the yellows with these, and even your counter has a bit of red to it. I would not install these picks.

    @scerrir we didn't want vinyl so I have no experience with it but our porcelain tile isn't completely smooth, I like it that way because it's less slippery.

    I like the darker one, I think it's the Waddington? But agree with above you have to lay it out with the brick and see how it coordinates with the brick, I can't get past the clutter to be able to comment on that.

    I tried to declutter and laid them out under the brick area where my cat's food usually is. Here is the Waddington...

    I tried to declutter now and placed the Waddington Oak

    under the bricks!! We will be getting a new side door here with a full panel window to bring more natural light in!

    Go back and bring some other samples . It can be way nicer than what this does. I love the brick

    And here is the Cairo Oak underneath them.

    Yea, next to the brick - neither is a great choice. They're not bad, but they could be a lot better.

    I think you need a closer photo of the flooring next to the brick. I can't really tell what it looks like from there.

    Is that just a thin brick tile on that wall? If so, I‘d remove it. Edited to add that your cat is BEAUTIFUL!!

    Cairo is a nice neutral color, I love it. Choose the floors you love the most, they are going to be the most long term, most everything else in the home will/can change. Once the floors are in you can think about paint, etc.
