COREtec Originals Enhanced — 8–12mm Waterproof WPC (COREtec Originals)

Enhanced is the mid tier of COREtec Originals — 38 colors on a rigid 8–12mm WPC (wood-plastic composite) core with a step-up 20–22 mil wear layer and a pre-attached cork underlayment. Planks run 7″–9″ wide, and the collection is 100% waterproof against topical moisture, GREENGUARD Gold certified, and backed by a Lifetime Residential and 10-Year Medium Commercial warranty. It bridges the value of Classics and the flagship Premium — more thickness and traffic resistance for everyday family living, available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Enhanced collection

Enhanced leans warm and light: light browns and beiges are the largest families, giving the collection a bright, airy, contemporary feel that suits open plans and smaller rooms alike. Medium browns add everyday warmth, and a handful of greys, a deep dark brown, and rustic multi-tones extend the range for cooler or more characterful palettes. It is an easy collection to pair with white, cream, or light-wood cabinetry.

Best uses for Enhanced

• Everyday family living — the 20–22 mil wear layer stands up to kids, pets, and daily traffic.
• Kitchens, baths & laundries — 100% topically waterproof for splash-prone rooms.
• Basements & below-grade — the WPC core handles slab humidity once the slab passes a moisture test.
• Open-plan main floors — light, warm tones and long planks keep large spaces bright and continuous.
• Homes wanting a step up from entry vinyl — more thickness and wear than Classics without Premium’s price.

Choosing a color from the Enhanced collection

Because Enhanced skews light and warm, it is a strong choice when you want a room to feel open and current — the light browns and beiges reflect daylight and keep small rooms from feeling closed in. For more grounding, choose a medium brown or a rustic multi-tone. Match the undertone to your cabinets and trim, and order a sample to view under your own light; our Santa Clara showroom team can help confirm the tone and dye lot.
