## About COREtec Originals Enhanced VV012

COREtec Originals Enhanced is a WPC luxury vinyl plank floor with a foamed core and attached cork underlayment. This version has 7-inch-wide planks and an overall thickness of 8 mm. A 20 mil wear layer sits beneath a UV acrylic finish, and the planks have enhanced painted bevel edges.

It gives you a wood look in a resilient floor. COREtec describes the floor as waterproof and says the cork backing helps reduce noise and adds thermal insulation. COREtec also describes the WPC construction as softer, warmer, and quieter underfoot.

## Who it suits

- Households looking for wood-look vinyl with a 20 mil wear layer
- Basement rooms needing a floor suitable for below-grade installation
- Households preferring routine sweeping and damp mopping
- Upstairs rooms where COREtec's claimed noise-reducing cork backing is appealing

## Design notes

The 7-inch width and 48.03-inch length give this line its plank proportions. Wood looks include varied textures, with enhanced painted bevels at the edges. COREtec says those bevels give individual planks more definition. The 10 colors are Aden Oak, Aurora Oak, Calypso Oak, Jerome Oak, Manila Oak, Marianas Oak, Miles Oak, Mornington Oak, Nares Oak, and Pasadena Oak.

## Living with it

Routine care means sweeping, cleaning up spills promptly, and damp mopping with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner. COREtec says the UV acrylic finish does not need sanding, sealing, or refinishing. The floor is usually installed as a floating click floor, with direct glue as an option for commercial or special-use installations. It can go above, on, or below grade, including upstairs rooms, ground-floor spaces, and basements. The cork underlayment is already attached to each plank.

## The warranty, in plain terms

COREtec backs this line with a lifetime limited residential wear warranty and a 10-year limited warranty for medium commercial use. The residential warranty addresses wear, while the commercial warranty applies to the medium commercial category. COREtec's warranty document governs the coverage, terms, and limitations.
