## About COREtec Originals Premium VV458

COREtec Originals Premium is a WPC luxury vinyl plank with a residential foamed core, a 30 mil wear layer and attached cork underlayment. This version pairs 7-inch-wide planks with an overall thickness of 0.472 inches, or 12 mm. Each plank is 72.05 inches long, with a UV acrylic finish and an Accent Bevel edge.

The surface has realistic wood looks with embossed texture and defined plank edges. COREtec describes the floor as waterproof and says its thicker core adds comfort. It brings wood-look detail to households looking for vinyl flooring with straightforward routine care.

## Who it suits

- Households with kids or pets considering waterproof vinyl
- Basement rooms needing a floor approved for below-grade use
- Main-floor rooms where wood-look planks fit the design
- Upstairs rooms where attached cork and its COREtec-described sound reduction are appealing

## Design notes

The 7-inch width and 72.05-inch length give each plank a long, defined shape. Embossed texture adds wood-grain detail, while the Accent Bevel edges make the plank outlines more distinct. The seven colors are Hempstead Walnut, Noble Oak, Penmore Walnut, Ralston Walnut, Reserve Oak, Spirit Oak and Valor Oak. The range offers both oak and walnut looks, with texture and bevel details contributing to the wood-like appearance.

## Living with it

Routine care means regular sweeping and damp mopping with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner. COREtec recommends cleaning spills quickly to make removal easier. The floor uses a floating click installation with an angle-tap system; direct glue is another option for commercial or special-use installations. It can go above, on or below grade, including basement rooms. The attached cork is part of the plank construction, and COREtec says it adds thermal insulation and sound reduction.

## The warranty, in plain terms

COREtec backs this floor with a lifetime residential limited wear warranty and a 10-year medium commercial limited warranty for resilient WPC. The residential warranty addresses wear, and the commercial warranty provides separate limited coverage for medium commercial use. COREtec's warranty document governs the coverage, terms and limitations.
