COREtec Pro Plus XL collection features stylish extra-long planks that are exceptionally durable and are suited for both residential and commercial applications. These planks are constructed from a high-density composition for extra rigidity, providing superior dent and impact resistance. The COREtec Pro Plus XL Rigidcore Planks are waterproof, and won't swell when exposed to water. Each plank has an attached cork underlayment for a quieter, warmer vinyl floor that is naturally resistant to odor-causing mold and mildew.
Installation is simple and is commonly done by our customers. Installation of waterproof planks and tiles is as follows: Complete any necessary floor prep. Start with the tongue side facing the wall. After the initial starter board, press the end seam of the second plank into the end seam of the first plank, and then lock them together by laying the plank down. Continue working left to right. Install the first plank in the second row by inserting the tongue into the groove of the plank in the first row. This is best done with a low angle of the plank. Insert the long side seam at a slight angle first. As the top surfaces meet, rotate the plank down into the locked position. Engage the end seam, using a rubber mallet if necessary. Planks may be cut with the use of a crosscut power saw. Continue installing planks removing any gaps using a tapping block and a scrap of flooring to cover the tapping block. Be careful not to damage In*Step tongue and groove. Protect all exposed edges by installing wall molding and/or transition strips. Make sure that no plank will be secured in any way to the subfloor.
Maintenance of the floor typically includes: Daily or weekly vacuuming or dust mopping of dirt, grit, dust etc. Use felt pads under chair and furniture legs to prevent scratching of the flooring surface. Place door mats at all entrances to prevent tracked in dirt, rocks, moisture, and other debris. Avoid using rubber backed mats as they can stain the flooring surface over time. When mopping, use a damp and never a wet mop. Clean up spills immediately to prevent damage to the floor.
Yes, the COREtec Pro Plus XL Rigidcore Planks can be installed in bathrooms with a tub and toilet. You may use silicone caulking where the tub meets the planks so that you do not have an open area where water could potentially get underneath.
