Our EvoCore range is still young and new to our collection of different flooring options, so this may leave you with a couple of questions. This blog will help explain every point and factor that you may be curious about.
What is EvoCore Flooring?
EvoCore is a combination of 7 different layers to create an extremely resistant and durable flooring:
- Built-in underlay backing.
- A standard vinyl board, eliminating any ripples or waves.
- Ridgid core board, enhancing stability and protection against water damage and expansion.
- Another standard vinyl board, adding additional robustness against chips and dents.
- Decor film, which provides different wood patterns and colours depending on your preference.
- Highly durable wear layer which provides commercial-grade resistance against foot traffic, scuffs and grime.
- UV protective coating, which not only provides protection against colour fading, but also keeping the decor film clearly visible.
These layers combined provide protection and durability that you simply cannot find in any other flooring range that we offer. Each layer works together to create different protection factors, thus making it perfect for any room in your home.

The EvoCore Ranges
Within our EvoCore Flooring range, we offer 2 different ranges that are better suited to different needs and situations.
These two ranges, Essential and Premium, are split based on their thickness, coverage and warranty. Premium is classed as more of a luxury range due to its thicker and slightly more durable plank. EvoCore Premium planks are also registered embossed, therefore, the texture on the surface perfectly matches the design, which creates a true wooden look and feel.

Installing EvoCore Flooring
Installing EvoCore Flooring is similar to installing click LVT or tongue and groove and click wood flooring, due to its similar click-lock system. However, EvoCore installation is a quicker and easier process thanks to the built-in underlay.
EvoCore Flooring is installed using the floating floor installation method, as no glue or adhesive is needed to secure your flooring. You can also lay it over existing floor tiles, making for a much quicker fitting process:
- Measure your room to know how much flooring you will need to purchase.
- Choose your favourite range of EvoCore Flooring.
- Ensure your subfloor or existing floor is clean and clear of debris.
- Lay your waterproof flooring over the subfloor. No underlay is needed because EvoCore Flooring has underlay pre-installed on the underside of each plank. You can lay your flooring lengthways or widthways, depending on what style you are looking for.
- Use the click-lock feature on each plank to attach them to one another, which creates a tight seal between each plank.
- Cut the planks when necessary using a fine tooth saw or tile cutter to fit in the area of your room. As well as this, be sure to cut planks that need to work around set features of your room, such as a shower, toilet, cupboards, or sinks and so on.
- Once your flooring has been installed, add skirting to the perimeter of your room if necessary. We offer a wide range of matching EvoCore accessories such as skirting.
