Coretec Blended Sienna LVP Pics

5 years ago

Hello! I am considering getting Coretec Blended Sienna installed in my house. If anyone has this installed, can you please share? I think this color is my favorite Coretec floor I've seen, but I continue to second guess myself about whether there is too much variation in color, or if it will look too fake. I've included a couple pics of the sample I got, as well as the Coretec stock photo. Thanks in advance!

    I’ve been searching for photos as well. I’m also considering Blended Sienna or Chambord. It’s such a big decision to make off of a small sample.

  • 5 years ago

    Yes, definitely. I'm bad at making these decisions! Let me know if you find anything and I will do the same.

    A couple more pics of our sample in the entryway

    I chose blended sienna for our new house. They will start installing it tomorrow!

  • 4 years ago

    That's great, please keep us updated on the progress. I can't wait to see how they look!

    Have you tried using this tool to upload a photo of your room with the flooring in it?

    Thank you! I've played around with the visualizer on the Coretec website, but the sample rooms look much nicer and more realistic on this Shaw flooring website.

    How did the install go? Hope it went smoothly!

  • 4 years ago

    I thought they were going to start installing but we dropped in again today and the flooring boxes are in the house and installation has not yet begun. i am eagerly awaiting them to start!

  • 4 years ago

    Oh bummer, hopefully they'll get them in soon! Good luck!

    Builder said the Coretec Blended Sienna installation will begin this coming Wednesday. I will post pictures as soon as possible.

    Sorry the floor is just being installed today so there is lots of sawdus. the paint is Benjamin Moore Acadia White and the cabinets are natural oak

    close up of our floor Installed today. i like the Coretec Blended Sienna because of the integrated bevels. much more realistic than no bevel or painted bevel.

  • 4 years ago

    The photos are terrible because of the sawdust, but in person the floor looks very realistic.

    The floor looks great so far! I liked the "blended" line due to the integrated bevels too.

  • 4 years ago

    Do you have more photos of the floor? I thought I had decided on Fusion Chambord but after seeing this I may be changing my back to the Sienna!

    Looks amazing! Did it clean up easily?

  • 4 years ago

    I didn’t do the cleanup. when our son moved into his new house i cleaned the coretec floors with a mop dampened with water and it worked great.

  • 4 years ago

    Does anyone have a pic of blended sienna installed. I'm debating between that and Bradford Bamboo. The Sienna is beautiful but may be too busy

    for my home.

  • 4 years ago

    see my photos above. We love it~

  • 4 years ago

    We also considered Bradford Bamboo but thought that the Bradford Bamboo looked fake. Blended Sienna looks incredibly realistic in person.

  • 4 years ago

    I do love the Blended Sienna but it seemed to be too much variation/too busy for my home. Thanks for your advice!

  • 4 years ago

    Looks great @Suki Mom! so just warm water and mop?

  • 4 years ago

    Love it, looks great!

  • 4 years ago

    @Suki Mom (or @Jorge Carral ,if you’ve installed it)

    I’ve read a lot of complaints about Cortec floors looking really dirty with smudges and water stains that can’t be cleaned away, but most don’t mention the specific Cortec line, so I was wondering if you can share your experience with the “Blended” line. Like others, I really like the integrated bevels and haven’t found any other line like it. It appears much smoother than most of the other LVP, so do you find it difficult to get it to look clean? Do you find the smoother surface scratches easily or show scratches prominently?

    Any feedback would be much appreciated and certainly put my mind at ease.

    Thank you!

    We have two small dogs and they have not scratched the floor at all. No permanent water stains. Our floor had A LOT of sheetrock dust and sawdust on it when we moved in. First dry mopping, then vacuuming then numerous mopping sessions with a mop dampened with water took care of it.

  • 4 years ago

    @Natalia Straley Dirty, water stains, and smudges are concerns of mine, also, especially because my favorite color in this line is the Blended Cocoon (the lightest one). I'm also a lover of the integrated bevels and was searching other floors that have it. So far, the only other one I've found is the Shaw Pantheon HD+ Natural Bevel. I'm not sure if that line may have the same issues though, since Coretec is owned by Shaw.


    If anyone has photos of Blended Cocoon installed, I'd love to see them. Haven't found a single one yet.

    If it helps you at all, our son's house has Coretec Pro Plus Belmont flooring, and it looks great after three years. No issues with water stains, etc. Just need to vacuum/dry mop, then damp mop after installation. He is a single guy and not the neatest or cleanest and the floor still looks terrific.

    @jenlsh this feels like a lightyear from now… but my home is set to be delivered in end of June so once floors go in end of May/early June I’ll be posting photos in all the forums I’ve been searching around the web as I’ve been looking for in person photos everywhere myself

    Floor: Shaw Pantheon HD+ Natural Bevel
    Color: Alabaster
    (Very close to Coretec Blended Cocoon)

    Your floors look beautiful!!! I love the grain and it doesn't look busy.


    I have coretec for over a year now and love them! Im still in remodel process for over a year on my family room (I know too long) and these floors stand up to everything. Paint, saw dust, dry wall dust, things constantly being dropped on them, salt and snow and dirt tracked in from outside. They clean so nice as well.

  • 4 years ago

    @Rachel Odumu Hi Rachel, I just found your message. I still haven't committed to our new floors, but have been debating between the Cortec blended cocoon and Shaw Pantheon in alabaster. I'm also planning to paint my cabinets either navy and white or black and white. Your combination looks great! We seem to have the same taste. I can't wait to see your photos!

  • 4 years ago

    We are looking at this Coretec with integrated bevel.  For those that have it, do you like it?

  • 4 years ago

    To those who went with the integrated/pressed bevel, what is your impression so far?

  • 4 years ago

    How is the Blended Sienna holding up? We are also considering Red River Hickory and Gold Coast Acaia, but found some not so great reviews. Anyone have either of these?

  • 4 years ago

    The blended sienna is holding up well with our two Llasa Apsos. Love the ease of wiping up spills.

    suki mom, we have blended Sienna. We went over hardwood and tile, and had to have a lot of floor corrections done to make the floor flat enough for the warranty. The installation was complete about a week ago and we are cleaning and getting things put back together. One thing we have noticed is a handful of very small pin holes on the surface, in the middle of planks. we noticed 2 of them during our inspection of the work and the installer filled them with a wax type material and they are not noticeable. We found another one today. I am wondering if we got a few bad plank or if this might be an ongoing issue. Thanks for feedback. We really like the floors.


  • 3 years ago

    wr have not had pinholes and we have been living with the floor for 10 months.

  • 3 years ago

    Thank you.

  • 3 years ago

    We too agonized over the ”busyness” of the blended sienna but bit the bullet and are very happy with the way it looks. Our only issue is with the 2 steps down to our living room . Our floor guy made steps out of wood and they do not match the rest of the floor. Has anyone done stair treads in blended Sienna or any coretec flooring?

  • 3 years ago

    Hello! We did our stairs in Blended Caraway. There are some pictures on this thread: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6169133/pics-of-coretec-blended-sienna-and-blended-caraway

    Overall, we are satisfied with the stairs. I will note they have a bit more of a plastic-y feel and can be slippery.

  • 3 years ago

    Here are a couple more pics from the top. We have hardwood upstairs, so there is a transition.

    Life happened lol but here are the updated photos of Shaw Pantheon HD Plus in the color Alabaster - still super happy with my choice @jenIsh 😊
