Description - USFloors COREtec Plus is an evolution in luxury vinyl flooring. Being an entirely new category of flooring called Engineered Vinyl Plank flooring or, EVP for short, these planks and tiles are by far the most durable on the market today. These planks are constructed with the same materials other luxury vinyl planks are, but feature a waterproof inert core. This patent-pending Hydracore, which is constructed of recycled wood, bamboo dust, limestone and virgin PVC, is so waterproof that it can be submerged underwater for months and never swell. And since these vinyl tiles are inert, meaning they will not expand or contract, the need for expansion strips around your room is totally eliminated. COREtec also features a cork underlayment, making it softer, quieter and warmer than standard wood flooring and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Material– USFloors vinyl flooring is constructed with virgin vinyl, and contains no hazardous metals or chemicals. The extruded WPC core, called Hydracore, is composed of recycled wood, bamboo dust, limestone and virgin PVC.

Luxury Vinyl tiles and planks are easy to keep clean and maintain. Maintenance of the floor typically includes:
  • Always use plywood or other boards when moving heavy objects across the floor to avoid scratching of the floor surface.
  • Use felt pads under chair and furniture legs to prevent scratching of the floor surface.
  • Place walk off door mats at all entrances and doorways to collect debris from shoes such as dirt, rocks, and moisture, from being tracked in and onto your new floors.
  • Avoid using rubber backed area rugs or floor mats as they can stain the flooring surface over time.
  • Use non-staining floor protectors underneath heavy furniture, chairs, and tables.
  • Daily or weekly vacuuming or dust mopping to remove dirt, grit, dust etc. Do not use treated dust mops.
  • When mopping, use a damp and never a wet mop.
  • Clean up spill immediately to prevent damage to the floor.
For more detailed cleaning instructions along with commercial cleaning instructions, please Click Here.
Installation is simple, and is commonly done by our customers. Installation of USFloors 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 moulding and/or transition strips. Make sure that no plank will be secured in any way to the subfloor.

What type of rugs are recommended on Coretec wood look floors?
Anonymous
It is recommend that non-staining vinyl-backed mats or woven rugs are to be used on vinyl flooring. Never use rubber-backed or latex-backed mats as they can permanently stain your floor.
We are building a house in Colorado and we will have in floor hydronic heat. Can we install this product with this in floor heating system?
Alan
COREtec Plus can be installed over radiant heat using the floating pr glue down method. Turn the heat off for 24 hours before, during and 24 hours after installation when installing over radiant heated subfloors. Floor temperature must not exceed 85°F (30°C).
What type and brand rug pads are best for the cortex plus vinyl plank flooring
Kathy
Avoid rubber backed mats. See our Mohawk Home Dual Surface Rug Pad on FlooringInc.com.
How do you care for it? what products used in cleaning? Thanks.
Anonymous
Engineered vinyl planks are very easy to care for. Typical maintenance includes: - Cleaning up spills immediately to prevent damage to the floor. Daily or weekly vacuuming or dry mopping of dirt, grit, dust etc. - Use felt pads under chair and furniture legs to prevent scratching of the flooring surface. - When mopping, use a damp and never a wet mop. Use clean water and a diluted floor cleaner. Do NOT use harsh cleaners or chemicals on the floor. Do NOT use abrasive scrubbing tools. Do NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products
Just finished putting Coretec down in our basement remodel. We have a large oak roll top desk. I am concerned about it leaving dents. Will dents appear? What do you suggest for padding under the desk? On another note. What is the best way to move the desk across the flooring?
cindy
While it is unlike that the COREtec floor will dent under weight, we do recommend using felt furniture pads to protect your floors from damage often caused by scratching of furniture. Don't push or pull items across the floor. If possible, use an air sled or even a dollie to move heavy items. You can also place plywood sheets down first and move the object over the plywood sheets.
In most vinyl planked room I have seen there is an obvious repeat of the printed layer, even though effort has been made to spread out the patterns. There were only 7 different print patterns in all the boxes of Cortec that I recently installed. The patter may have been shifted by 1/3 the plank, or reversed for interlocking, but it was still very evident. Is there a way to determine how many patterns are used by the maker of vinyl planks, such as a code on each box? How can this "repeat" that yells "FAKE WOOD" be best avoided? Thanks Leo
Leo
Some manufacturer spec sheets include the plank repeat count. You just would have to find the spec sheet if it is available. Typical pattern repeats are around 7 or 8 planks.
Can I use a steam cleaner to mop the floor?
Edie Marion
Please see manufacturer maintenance PDF for information. Do NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products.
which direction should the planks run, across or length ways?
Gene Arthur Martin
Typically planks are installed with the length of the room, to give the room a larger feeling.
I understand that the material is waterproof, but is it recommended for full bathrooms where there would be a tub and toilet? Not as much worried about the material, as I am about water getting underneath the material.
Larry
The COREtec planks can be installed in full bathrooms with a tub and toilet. The locking mechanism on the COREtec is very tight, you should not have any issues with water getting under the material through the product. You should however consider using silicone caulking where the tub meets the planks so that you do not have an open are where water could potentially get underneath.
Can these vinyl planks also be installed on the wall? For example, if I wanted to instal it as a half wall in the bathroom or as a baseboard thought the apartment.
Anonymous
Sounds like a unique application! Vinyl flooring is very versatile and a suitable material for wall applications.
I have COREtec Plus flooring and my wife wants to know if it would be safe to use a Shark steam mop for occasional cleaning.
Steve W.
Please see manufacturer maintenance PDF for information. Do NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products.
Is this scratch/scuff resistant and what is the warranty for scratches/scuffs?
Anonymous
While COREtec Plus products feature a 20 mil durable wear layer, no vinyl product is 100% scratch proof. If you need to fix a scratch, you can use a repair putty that is approved for vinyl floors to help fill it in. For further information regarding the COREtec warranty, please visit the Warranty Info are above.
Your "How To" install video shows the flooring butted up to existing baseboards. Is that the standard/required practice? I intend to install baseboards after the flooring is installed, with the baseboard resting on the flooring. Is that okay? Also, can you caulk the crevice between the baseboard and flooring for a liquid-tight joint?
John
In a real world installation, you would install the planks underneath the baseboards to allow for the proper expansion/contraction space. Base boards must not be fixed in a way which restricts the movement of the floor (ex. nail through the floor). If you would like to caulk the visible gap between the baseboard and the flooring, you certainly can.
Does Coretec waterproof flooring have a green score or a floor score?
Barbara
COREtec flooring has both, GREENGUARD Certification as well as Floor Score certification.
Is Swiffer jet for wood or the regular Swiffer jet suitable for use on the Coretec Plus floors? Thank you!
LaPean
Swiffer wet jets are safe for regular cleaning on most flooring surfaces including vinyl. Remember to always clean up large messes or spills immediately.
Can just on plank be replaced if damaged? How easy is it to replace a damaged plank?
Edith
One piece can be replaced, it can be tricky. You would need to cut out and remove the damaged piece. Typically on a replacement piece for an interlocking vinyl plank, you remove the interlock portion to more easily fit in place.
Saw a 12mm core-tec floor today in the store. What's the difference between it and the 8mm shown
Anonymous
MM is typically used in reference to the thickness of the plank or tile. It sounds like what you were looking at would have been 12mm thick, whereas our COREtec flooring that we offer is 8mm thick. 12mm thickness is more commonly found with laminate flooring products.
Is it true the Coretec plus doesn't expand or contract? Confused by this and using 1/4" spacers. And, it does not have to go through an acclimation period? Thnx
Tina
The COREtec does not expand or contract under normal conditions. We do still recommend the 1/4" space around your install in the rare instance there is come expansion in the floor. To ensure a proper install we do recommend an acclimation period of 24-48 hours as there may be an extreme environment change between warehousing and your home.
What are actual brands of cleaning products we can use on our vinyl plank flooring? I hear non abrasive and diluted, but what are actual store bought brands which work best?
Joe
Clean the floor using a properly diluted Neutral pH cleaner in cool water or ready to use spray cleaner that will not leave a residue such as Bona Professional Series Stone, Tile, and Laminate Cleaner in a pre-mixed spray bottle.
Can it be installed over a ceramic tile floor (bathroom) or does the tile need to be removed?
Anonymous
COREtec can be installed over an existing tile floor, it will not telegraph.
What is the AC rating of Coretec?
Nancy
AC Rating is typically used when referring to laminate flooring products. COREtec is a vinyl product, with a 20 MIL wear layer of 2 coats UV-cured acrylic. This means that it is durable and commercially rated for heavy foot traffic.
I'm installing coretech in our basement. Do you recommend a a vapor barrier?
Colleen
Vapor barriers are recommended whenever installing over a concrete subfloor.
Hello, I an thinking of having Cortec Plus installed in my father's house in a basement. During the last hurricane we had flooding. They say the water came through the walls. Will the water get under the tiles?
Wendy Bridges
The interlock on the planks is very tight, but it is not impossible that water could get under around the perimeter of the floor. Coretec is 100% waterproof, so there shouldn't be any damage to the planks. You would want to pull them up and clean beneath so that water doesn't sit there.
Is the cor tec plus certified by theNACFA.?
Fred
Coretec is CARB Compliant and GREENGUARD GOLD Certified.
I have a outdoor covered patio in Honolulu Hawaii. I have extra Coretech-plus flooring from doing our main house and was thinking of using the extra flooring and install it over our wood decking on the patio. While it is covered and out of the main sun and weather, it will get wet from the hard blowing rain and be more exposed to the elements than an interior installation. Would the flooring work for this application. I understand that there could be issues in the future with mold/mildew growth under the floor from water between the floor and decking, but I think the flooring would be just fine?
Greg
This is a very unique application, and we do not typically recommend installation of the vinyl planks outdoors.
What type of rug pad?
Anonymous
Avoid using rubber backed mats as they can stain the flooring surface over time.

Anonymous
You can do either, there are pros and cons whichever way you choose.
If installing over existing ceramic tile, do the grout lines need to be filled in (around 1/4 inch wide and 1/8 inch deep)?
Brandon
COREtec can be installed over existing ceramic tile floors as long as there is no large damage causing the subfloor to be severely uneven.
We recently had some minor flooding in our basement and pulled up the carpet and pad. Now we are considering what to put down. Is there a way to install the Vinyl plank so that will not allow water to be trapped under the flooring? i.e. could we use a silicone caulk at the wall/floor point both under and on top of the planking and behind the baseboard to "seal" against water getting under? Do you have a "best method" to seal as well as possible against water being trapped?
Nancy
Generally we'd recommend gluing the floor down, but we don't recommend gluing in a basement as it is difficult to control moisture coming up through the slab when it's below grade and the adhesive has a tendency not to cure. Flexible silicone could certainly be used around the perimeter; however, that will do nothing if there is excess moisture coming up through the floor. We also recommend sealing the concrete prior to laying the floor.
How do I remove a scratch?
Johnnie
If the scratch is light and only in the poly finish on the top, you can try some Hilway Direct Floor Finish Matte to protect it and fill it in. You can find that here: http://www.1877floorguy.com/hdmatte1liter.html If it's into the vinyl, there is a vinyl repair kit, but the gloss level may be different. That's available here: http://www.1877floorguy.com/scratchfix.html
How will the COREtec Plus hold up under ADA ware? I use a walker and use rolling office chairs in the kitchen where I am considering installing this product. Suspect over time this will evolve to wheelchairs. Even my old (1920) solid oak floors splinter from constant use of the office chairs.
Nancy
We recommend using chair mats underneath rolling chairs as over time the wheels can damage the surface of the floor.
Can this flooring be installed over radiant heat? I am looking for a product to replace a tile kitchen floor. We have dogs that drip water all over the floor
Carla
COREtec is approved for installation over radiant heat. Radiant heat systems must have a minimum of 1/2” separation from the product. Maximum operating temperature should never exceed 85°F (30°C). Use of an in-floor temperature sensor is recommended to avoid overheating.
I have concerns about knee issues. I plan to use Coretec Plus Dakota Walnut in all the upstairs bedrooms and hallway. Do you recommend adding extra cork in addition to the cork underlayer that already comes with the product? My husband and I are seniors
Anonymous
The manufacturer recommends no additional underlayment. It can cause the floor to break and come apart.
i have a new construction that has tile flooring throughout the first floor . my tiles have a hollow sound to them and some are making a popping sound when you walk on them , can cortec be installed over them , thus eliminating the hollow sound and popping sounf from underneth it ?
mike
Coretec can be installed over tile. The hollow sound is likely spots underneath the tile where no mortar was spread. We have not tested if installing Coretec over hollow tile installations.
If I'm installing over concrete how "level" must the floor be and I understand a vapor barrier is necessary? Would planks or squares be better if the floor is not exactly level?
Anonymous
Planks or squares will not make a difference. Per the installation instructions, subfloors need to be flat and level to 3/16" over 10'. Any humps or dips should either be ground down or leveled using a Portland based self leveling compound.
Are Coretec floors UV cured and are they low VOC, what thickness is the polyurethane layer???
Debbie
Coretec Plus products have a Wear Finish of 2 coats UV-cured acrylic. These products are GreenGuard Gold Certified.

Our Retirement community has a building with a card room, an exercise room and a gym equipment room that all need floors replaced due to hurricane Irma. Is CoreTec suitable for them.
Rick Ciarcia
This flooring would be suitable for a card room, but typically we would recommend a different flooring surface for rooms with equipment will be used.
If you have a basement that occasionally has water issues, would this floor allow any water that comes up underneath to evaporate without damaging the flooring?
Andrew
The COREtec is a waterproof floor, but not a mold and mildew proof floor; as such, any water that seeps in through the concrete underneath will not evaporate out through the seams. Long term exposure to moisture may result in mold and mildew formation. The floor would need to be taken up and laid flat, cork side up, in order to dry out both the flooring material and the subfloor and minimize the formation of mold and mildew on the flooring.
Are these Coretech XL Plus planks compatible with under floor electric heating?
James
Coretec planks have been approved for use with heating. Please see the installation PDF for further information.

Can you install cabinets, island, appliances on top of this floor?
Anonymous
Yes you can, it is recommended that you glue those areas down.
Do you need a moisture barrier under this product?
Anonymous
As an extra precaution, we recommend 6mm plastic. However, if you choose not to use a moisture barrier, with will not void your warranty.
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.
Will a gas log fire with enclosed doors cause the planks to warp? It is at one end of the room.
Sarah Ann Seitz

I have steam cast iron radiators. Is it ok for the legs to be in contact with Coretec Plus vinyl flooring since they get very hot. Does a barrier need to be put in between the legs and the flooring? If so, what would you recommend? Thank you
Domenic
Providing the temperature of those legs does not get above 85 degrees, it should be fine. If the legs will be hotter than that, then yes, there should be something heat proof between the radiator and the flooring.
This would be going in the 2nd floor of our home. I know it has a cork backing, but has anyone also used an additional sound absorbing underlayment? I don't want to hear heals upstairs, and I don't want a hollow sound that laminate has.

I bought the brand new Bissell Crosswave Max to take care of my floors - I am partially disabled and would make cleaning so much easier. May I use it on this floor with the special formula for hardwood floors? Also, in a small, I mean small, home, does a narrower or wider plank look better?
Kaz
Please reach out to Bissell directly, since the hardwood formula may not be the best choice for vinyl. They do carry a multi-floor formula that should work, but we'd recommend you talking to them directly since they'd know their product best. As far as the plank widths are concerned, it is totally your preference since both widths have their own charm, and some people just prefer one over the other. However wider planks are known to make smaller spaces appear bigger and are pretty popular at this time.

What type of wheels are needed on desk chairs to protect the Coretec PLus? Should I use rubber, nylon, or plastic?

Wheels can be of any material as long as you use a chair mat under the chair. With vinyl, we highly suggest using chair mats to save your floor from scratching.

Customer service was good. I didn't need the flooring delivered immediately, so the representative worked out a delivery schedule to suit my time frame. I removed the old floor, prepped, and installed the new floor by myself in less than 4 days. I chose this brand for its looks, but it was tad less easy to install than a different laminate for another project. However, I think it turned out well; here's a photo so you can judge for yourself.

The flooring is fantastic! I installed it in the basement without the help of a contractor and it was pretty easy. There are a variety of patterns in the wood with no repeats across the floor. I recommend this product and would definitely use it again.

Product looks great. Self install was pretty straight forward. Product locks together pretty good. Seems very scratch resistant. Had one scratch and after rubbing with a damp rag it disappeared. Love it so far. Feels solid under foot.
