@highup We have a Carpet One that is about an hour away. I do appreciate you taking the time to respond thoughtfully and give a recommendation! We do need waterproof though. Incidentally we've tested 17 samples so far from various companies and they all are doing the same thing as our Coretec...
@highup I'm not the only one. (See the link above from the woman who recently installed Provenza and there are multiple people on FB now saying that it is happening to them too.) It's a new problem because when we were shopping for LVP about a year and half ago the matte finish on the Coretec...
Someone from WeShipFloors solved the mystery on another forum! Apparently the matte finish is created by using a roller that has a nap that creates little peaks in the finish just before it is finally cured. The greater and higher the "peaks" the more matte the finish. This HAS to be it. Please...

We are looking into Provenza with fingers crossed. Thank you for that suggestion. It really doesn't solve things to just wear slippers. It is also tearing apart our pants when we get up and down with my son and his pants are getting torn up at a ridiculous rate. I had to apologize to my friend...
BTW, I also posted my story on a private FB flooring advice group (Facebook Groups)
and, guess what, people are saying they are experiencing the same clothes-shredding problem on their floors too (not all Coretec either)! Coretec, Lifeproof, and Flooret have been mentioned so far. They couldn't...
Ugh. I’m sorry in advance for the length of this post. It truly is a long (and ongoing) story.
In July of 2019, we used a local flooring company to install almost 2000 sq ft of Coretec Berlin Pine. Within a month it was clear that the bevel paint was coming off on many of the planks and many of...
