COREtec Originals Premium is a wood-look luxury vinyl plank built with residential WPC construction. This version pairs 9-inch-wide planks with a 20 mil wear layer. Each plank is 72.05 inches long and 0.403 inches thick, with a UV acrylic finish and attached Soft Step underlayment.
COREtec describes the floor as waterproof and says its thicker WPC core adds comfort underfoot. Realistic surface texture and enhanced integrated bevels give the planks wood-like detail. It is an option for households that want a wood look with routine sweeping and damp-mop care rather than hardwood maintenance.
The 9-inch width and 72.05-inch length give this version a broad plank format. Realistic embossing adds surface texture, while enhanced integrated bevels define the edges. The 10 colors are Blonde Oak, Cerith Oak, Conch Ash, Flaxen Ash, Midnight Oak, Mist Oak, Parchment Oak, Sand Dollar Oak, Sea Salt Oak, and Vintage Taupe Ash. Blonde Oak has a soft golden-beige base and subtle, clean grain suited to bright, neutral rooms.
Living with it
Routine care means regular sweeping and damp mopping with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner. COREtec recommends cleaning spills promptly to make removal easier, and describes the UV acrylic finish as helping with cleaning and stain resistance. The floor usually goes in as a floating click floor using an angle-tap connection. Direct glue is another option for commercial or special-use installations. It is approved for above-grade, ground-level, and below-grade rooms, including basement spaces. Attached Soft Step underlayment is part of the plank construction.
COREtec backs this floor with a lifetime limited residential wear warranty and a 10-year limited warranty for medium commercial use. Residential coverage concerns wear, while the commercial warranty applies to medium-use settings. COREtec's warranty document governs the terms, limitations, and eligibility for coverage.
