Why DuraCore?

Lifetime Residential Warranty

Every DuraCore floor is designed to last – it’s this good!

 

10-Year Commercial Warranty

Superior scratch and dent resistance performance in commercial applications. The option of a microbial backing will increase sound absorption.

 

Durable

DuraCore outperforms all other flooring alternatives with the look of luxury and the confidence of long-lasting performance.

 

Low Maintenance

Just a quick vacuum or swish with a damp mop and you’re good to go. No additional maintenance treatments are required.

 

Pet-friendly

DuraCore is truly life-proof, accommodating pet claws, accidents and exuberance. The surface is highly scratch resistant, 100% waterproof and has superior stain resistance.

 

Kid-friendly

Children need a safe, warm and comfortable place to play. DuraCore is durable, 100% eco-friendly and it’s very easy to clean up any spills or crayon marks.

 

Waterproof

Can be used in every room in the house. 100% waterproof with stain resistance provides peace of mind.

 

Superior Scratch Resistance

Rest easy that the tough engineered multi-layered surface of your DuraCore floor will withstand scuffs and scratches from pets, kids and foot traffic.

 

Underfloor heating

Compatible with radiant underfloor heating systems up to 27oC – operating conditions apply.

 

Easy step cushioning

The natural cork backing provides a wonderful warmth and softness underfoot.

Allergy friendly

DuraCore is naturally hypoallergenic and waterproof so is unable to harbour nasty irritants, moulds and bacteria. It is also GreenGuard Gold and GreenTag certified.

 

Realistic designs

The deeply embossed surface, rich grain designs and warm colour tones provide the look and feel of real wood.

 

Quick and easy to install

Effortless installation directly over most subgrade floors without telegraphing imperfections.

 

Acoustic qualities

DuraCore’s sound absorption is outstanding – reducing noise transfer by 18dB making it ideal for upstairs, apartment and office settings. A microbial backing option reduces this even further.

 

Dimensionally stable

Dimensionally stable, no expansion joints required, even over very large areas.

 

Acclimatisation not necessary

The exceptional stability and waterproof nature of DuraCore means acclimatisation to new humidity levels required in standard timber and other flooring types is not required.

 

Electrostatic performance

Thanks to the composite layering and material selection, DuraCore is static free.

 

Plank sizes

DuraCore is available in our Urban Collection plank size of 178mm x 1235mm or Lifestyle Collection plank size of 225mm x 1532mm. The plank sizing simplifies installation and creates great versatility for generous as well as small spaces.

 

Featuring natural wood grains

A stunning selection of 12 different colourways and embossed surfaces embrace the beauty, look and warmth of natural timber grain.

New Zealand’s life-proof flooring

Perfect for busy homes, commercial settings and even wet rooms, DuraCore Lifestyle engineered luxury vinyl flooring is 100% water proof, sturdy and resistant to wear.

The secret of this revolutionary flooring is a stable, rigid mineral core which makes this floor highly dent resistant and incredibly easy to install over a wide variety of sub-floor surfaces including timber, concrete and most tiles. The core ensures a seamless, beautifully flat final result – including over large areas, as there is no need for expansion joints.

And you won’t believe the appearance! High precision 3-D synchronising technology (EIR) has provided a deeply embossed surface in a gorgeous natural colour range in designs mimicking woodgrain. In look and feel, it’s very difficult to tell it apart from real wood.

The pre-attached backing options are sound absorbing cork, or a microbial acoustic backing offering additional noise suppression and durability for high-traffic and commercial applications.
