Has anyone replace floor with Coretec luxury vinyl flooring?

[MarkieBob]

I have a bid to replace my carpet with Coretec flooring. Its a snap together flooring with a cork backing for added insulation/sound management--they say. He also said that water could penetrate where it snaps together, but wouldn't be easy. He suggested a cotton rug around kitchen, shower, etc.

I'm just concerned about the water issue, especially around the shower as the door drips on the floor whenever we shower.

If you have used this product or know someone who has I'd appreciate their experiences. It's pretty expensive.

i would not put that in a bathroom at all

We decided to go with a sheet vinyl instead. I didn't like the idea of flexing mh going down the road with that snap in stuff.

I went with Alure because it always got great reviews on this forum - it's been through several nasty winters and has held up fine. Easy install, looks nice, no cupping etc.

I just did an online search for Coretec and found some interesting reviews. I don't think I would install it until they get the issues resolved.

Shame to cover up a nice new floor with cotton rugs because some water will leak through it and damage the floor under it,hmmm.
