How is this different than the COREtec Plus 7"? I see that this is 5mm thick, and the COREtec Plus is 8mm, but is that the only difference? What difference would the thinner or thicker plank provide?
Andrew Ter Haar
The two products have different core construction. The Pro Plus product is a rigid core SPC product, which means that it is denser while also being thinner. Pro Plus is approved for high traffic commercial spaces. The regular Plus products are wood polymer / waterproof core, and have a foaming agent which makes the planks thicker. Coretec Plus products are more suited for use in the home and light traffic commercial spaces.
Can this be used in a sunroom that is open underneath and has windows all around with a 3 foot wall area that is beneath the windows? I live in Missouri and the temperatures get very cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

Can I put an additional underlayment?
Anonymous
Adding any additional cushioning will void the warranty. If you have a wooden subfloor, you can add a layer of plywood to raise it up. Over concrete it gets a bit more complex, but it would need to be something rigid, like a layer of cement on top or a cement board.
Is this phthalate free?
COREtec Pro Plus product is GREENGUARD Gold Certified and verified to meet strict emission levels of pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and phthalates.
Why is this product not recommended for a sunroom? I live in a desert climate and often keep the a/c set at close to 90 degrees when traveling. Would this be a problem? And why we have plantation shutters some rooms get ample sunlight.

ProPlus is absolutely recommended for 3 season rooms, but not porches. It needs to be a room with a climate control, not a screened in porch that will be exposed to the weather.
Do you need a moisture barrier under this product?

As an extra precaution, we recommend 6mm plastic. However, if you choose not to use a moisture barrier, with will not void your warranty.

Room is complete. There is a plank that has a hard bubble. How do I replace that plank.
Joel Jones
The best way to replace a plank is to undo the angle tap installation back to the plank and replace it properly. The angle tap helps keep the floor waterproof and doesn't allow moisture to get under the floor.

wHICH ONE OF YOUR FLOORING PRODUCTS IS EASIER TO WALK ON? sOFTER MORE CUSHY?

WPC planks will always be better to walk on versus rigid core flooring. Check our Tritoncore 7" Waterproof Vinyl Planks. If you're looking for products other than planks, carpet is a good option too.
What method should be used for a total staircase install, understand the horizontal boards will be held down by baseboard but what about the vertical portion? I am forced to lay that piece on top of vertical piece due to sizing.

If installing this product in a sun room with particle board subfloor, is the 6 mil Poly Film Underlayment suggested (per the instructions)? I have read that you should avoid a vapor barrier with a wood subfloor but due to the setting and the instructions, it seems like the underlayment is a good idea.
JP
When installing COREtec Pro Plus Rigid Core Vinyl Planks over particle board, underlayment is always recommended. However, our advice for you would be to reach out to your particle manufacturer and seek their recommendation on which underlayment to use and follow their guidance on how to install vinyl over the particle board. You may also read our installation instructions that are available on the "Installation" tab on the product page for more details.

Can this go in a basement? Is a vapor barrier needed if so? Can I put a pool table on this floor or will the weight be a problem?
julie
COREtec Pro Plus can go in a basement and a vapor barrier would be needed. The COREtec Pro Plus will be better able to handle the weight of a pool table, than the regular COREtec Plus; however, we would still recommend putting something rigid 1 1/2 - 2" bigger around than the base of the leg under it to help distribute the weight.
