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?
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.

Was this helpful?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.
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.
