COREtec Flooring in Ottawa, ON
When you choose COREtec flooring from GC Flooring, you're investing in a durable, stylish, and practical solution perfectly suited for the Ottawa climate. Whether for an active family home or a thriving business, COREtec provides outstanding advantages that stand up to high-activity.
100% Waterproof
COREtec is designed with a patented, 100% waterproof core that makes it impervious to spills, moisture, and even temperature fluctuations. This is a crucial benefit for Ottawa properties, where seasonal changes can lead to water and slush being tracked indoors. Preventing warping, swelling, or cracking while ensuring a long-lasting, pristine look, COREtec is an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Superior Comfort
Unlike traditional hard-surface flooring, COREtec includes an integrated cork underlayment for a comfortable, soft feel underfoot that helps maintain a consistent temperature and keeps your floors warmer during Ottawa's cold winters. For businesses, this means a more inviting environment for employees and customers. In addition, the cork layer offers exceptional noise reduction, making it ideal for quieter atmospheres for multi-story homes or commercial spaces.
Easy Maintenance & Installation
COREtec flooring is built to withstand high traffic and resist scratches and dents, making it easy to clean and maintain. A simple sweep and occasional mop are all it takes to keep your floors looking new. The click-lock installation system also simplifies the process, reducing the time and labor needed for professional installation or making it a manageable DIY project. This combination of style, durability, and practicality makes COREtec a smart investment.

Using COREtec for Popular Ottawa Design Trends
For homeowners in Ottawa, using COREtec flooring is an excellent way to capture the city's most popular design trends, all while providing practical benefits for our local climate. Here's how COREtec can help you achieve the look and feel you desire:
One of the top trends in Ottawa is the use of light, natural wood tones and wide-plank visuals to create an open, airy feel. COREtec’s luxury vinyl planks beautifully mimic these hardwood looks, offering the elegance of wood with moisture protection.
The popularity of larger-format planks for seamless, open-concept Ottawa home designs is also a perfect fit for COREtec, which provides a continuous, sophisticated aesthetic throughout your home.
Ottawa residents are gravitating toward warm, natural tones in honey oak, caramel, and medium browns. These earthy hues create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that pairs well with neutral decor and is particularly appealing during the city's long, cold winters.
Embossed-in-register (EIR) technology and other textured finishes are creating tactile luxury vinyl surfaces that feel like hand-scraped wood or rough-hewn stone. This adds a layer of depth and realism, making the flooring even more authentic.
