COREtec Balanced Retreat CRT02 luxury vinyl tile brings the refined appearance of stone together with the warmth and comfort of attached Soft Step underlayment. Part of the COREtec Tile collection, this waterproof WPC flooring features a 12" × 24" format, a 22 mil wear layer, and realistic concrete, slate, marble, and terrazzo looks. Its grout-free design offers a clean tile aesthetic without traditional grout maintenance.
Imagine a contemporary kitchen with concrete-inspired flooring that feels more welcoming on cool mornings, or a bathroom with marble-look character and softer-sounding footsteps. Balanced Retreat pairs natural-material visuals with resilient construction for everyday living. Explore the color options at Georgia Carpet Industries, an authorized COREtec dealer in Dalton, Georgia.
CRT02 shares its locking system with other COREtec Soft Step products, allowing the tile visuals to connect directly to Soft Step wood-look planks without a transition piece between them. Create a coordinated layout that moves from a stone-look kitchen into a wood-look living area without a raised strip interrupting the design.
For a coordinating wood look, explore COREtec Premium SoftStep VV810, which is designed to connect seamlessly with CRT02 without the need for transition strips, creating a smooth, continuous look between plank and tile visuals.
Sound and warmth comparisons are COREtec’s Soft Step performance claims. Actual installed results depend on the flooring assembly and site conditions.
Balanced Retreat’s waterproof foamed core combines WPC comfort with practical performance for kitchens, bathrooms, and open living areas when installed according to COREtec’s instructions. The resilient tile construction is engineered to resist the chips and cracks associated with brittle tile materials, while the wear layer helps protect the decorative surface from daily use. No flooring is damage-proof; use appropriate furniture protection and follow the manufacturer’s care requirements.
CRT02 supports floating or direct-glue installation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. COREtec lists no acclimation period, but required site conditions, moisture evaluation, subfloor preparation, and expansion allowances still apply. Review the installation instructions for CRT02 and any connecting Soft Step flooring before planning the layout.
For routine care, remove loose dirt and grit and clean with COREtec-approved products and methods. The grout-free surface simplifies everyday maintenance without the need to maintain traditional grout joints. Waterproof tiles do not correct subfloor moisture problems or protect the building from water intrusion.
COREtec Balanced Retreat CRT02 includes a Lifetime Residential Limited Wear Warranty and a Resilient WPC 10 Year Medium Commercial Limited Warranty, the same warranty coverage as VV810. Coverage is provided by the manufacturer and is subject to the applicable terms, exclusions, installation requirements, and care instructions.
COREtec’s 100% waterproof, kidproof, petproof guarantee is also subject to the manufacturer’s terms. Review the warranty documents for your intended use before ordering.
Is Balanced Retreat CRT02 a vinyl plank or a vinyl tile?

Can CRT02 connect to COREtec Soft Step wood-look flooring?
Yes. It shares the Soft Step locking system and can connect without a transition piece between the tile and plank styles. The combined installation must still meet COREtec’s layout and expansion requirements.
Does CRT02 require grout?
No. Its grout-free design uses enhanced painted bevels to define the individual tiles without traditional grout maintenance.
Does Balanced Retreat have cork backing?
No. It includes attached Soft Step underlayment made from recycled materials, designed to improve warmth and sound reduction.
