Coretec Calypso Oak comparable

5 years ago

HELP! Put down Coretec Calypso Oak throughout bedroom level and stairs of my home, now onto main level (went backwards due to a water damage issue)...we cannot find the product without spending a small forture, and it being on backorder. We are redoing our kitchen soon and desperately need help finding this, or something 99% comparable. Any thoughts or ideas welcome! Thank you!

I get that. people always bring up kids and pets, and yet wood floors have endured for 100 years in homes.

I'm just saying, for that amount of money coretec is charging, I'd rather have real wood. If all you want is durable, look into large porcelain tiles. Or maybe tile in the kitchen and real wood in the living area. there are plenty of engineered wood floors that will hold up to kids and pets. I just did a 7" european white oak and it's amazing! pet messes, water spills, dirt, whatever. cleans up great. (and looks so much better than fake wood. Will last longer too. )

look into some of the oak options. you might be surprised.

I would call the company and see if they have ideas of what is closest.

You could always do a runner up the stairs so that the carpet would be the place your eye sees as a transition rather than differences in wood.

have you considered using a real engineered wood flooring on the bottom floor? For the price of the Coretec, I'd rather have real wood that's going to last decades longer.

based on their images under the same line, the Aurora Oak and tampa oak are the two closest

aurora

calypso

Tampa

Maybe Springfield Oak? don't know if it's the same dimesions as the other.

it's the ProPlus, so it is cheaper

Ravenswood and Cairo

@Beth H. : not sure what happened, besides the obvious, with flooring, but when we originally got our Coretec for the top floor is was almost $2 less! I understand shipping constraints but wow! The need for LVP is more based on our lifestyle, 2 toddlers, dogs....hoping I can find a comparable! Thank you

Try getting some samples from Home Depot. It's the rigid core luxury vinyl flooring or Big Bear Oak Flooring

Not sure if you found material. But this company has it.
