🟦 Why COREtec is Perfect for Albuquerque Homes
100% Waterproof Rigid Core Technology
COREtec’s patented rigid core construction is fully waterproof from top to bottom. Unlike traditional flooring that absorbs moisture, COREtec can be installed in:
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Laundry rooms
- Basements / slab-on-grade foundations
- Rental properties
Spills, pets, and everyday messes do not affect COREtec’s performance.
Stable in New Mexico’s Dry Climate
Albuquerque has:
- Low humidity
- Big daily temperature swings
- Intense UV sunlight
COREtec won’t warp, gap, cup, or expand in our environment, and requires no acclimation period before installation.
UV Stable for New Mexico Sunlight
COREtec’s UV-stable wear layer won’t fade, yellow, or discolor in:
- South-facing rooms
- Skylight areas
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Santa Fe adobe homes with natural light
This makes it ideal for homes throughout the Southwest.
Attached Cork Underlayment
Many COREtec products include attached cork underlayment providing:
- Sound absorption
- Warmth underfoot
- Comfort and insulation
- Faster installation (no separate pad required)
Perfect for multi-level homes and open floor plans.
