COREtec CRT02 Balanced Retreat

The Balanced Retreat collection brings the timeless look of natural stone, concrete, and marble into a fully waterproof WPC (waterproof foamed core) vinyl tile. Eight stone-inspired visuals — from soft terrazzo neutrals to deep, dramatic slate and marble tones — give any room the elevated, spa-like calm of a retreat, without the sealing, grouting, or upkeep real stone demands.
