NuCore and NuCore Performance are both luxury vinyl plank flooring options, but there are some key differences between the two. NuCore Performance has a thicker wear layer and an enhanced anti-microbial coating, providing added durability and resistance to mold and mildew growth. Additionally, NuCore Performance features a cork underlayment for increased sound absorption and thermal insulation. While NuCore is already an excellent flooring option, NuCore Performance takes it a step further with these additional features.
