COREtec Cairo Oak Vinyl Plank vs COREtec Grande Lotte Oak WPC Vinyl Plank

Both are waterproof COREtec planks with painted bevels and attached cork, so the choice comes down to core and wear layer. The Grande Lotte Oak is the tougher, quieter floor: a 15 mm foamed WPC core, 30 mil wear layer and 3 mm cork give it a softer, warmer feel and better dent and sound performance. The Cairo Oak is the thinner, firmer SPC plank with a 20 mil wear layer and long 73-inch boards that suit a clean, modern look and glue-down or float over most subfloors. Buyers rate Cairo Oak 4.9 out of 5 and call it petproof and easy to clean, but note it is not scratch-proof and can discolor in prolonged direct sun.

• Choose the COREtec Cairo Oak if you want long 73-inch planks, a firm dent-resistant SPC core and a floor that installs floating or glued above, on or below grade.
• Choose the COREtec Grande Lotte Oak if you want a thicker, quieter floor with a 30 mil wear layer, a softer foamed core and mixed plank lengths for a more natural oak layout.
