What is rigid core?
Rigid core is a click locking floating floor, which is an ideal alternative to laminate and engineered hardwood click floors as it offers the same benefits of realistic wood or stone look designs, but with the durability and waterproof qualities of luxury vinyl flooring.
Our wood and stone rigid core designs ‘click and lock’ into place without the use of adhesive, and if faster installation times are preferred, our K-Core® technology means it can be fitted over most existing subfloors, floorboards or ceramics in an instant. Its excellent acoustic benefits also makes it the format of choice to boost wellness and achieve a healthy home.
