COREtec Plus XL is a wide WPC luxury vinyl plank from COREtec Originals Classics. The plank is 9 inches wide and 72.05 inches long, with COREtec Residential WPC construction, a 20 mil wear layer, a UV acrylic finish, and micro beveled edges.
It has attached cork underlayment under the plank. COREtec says the floor is waterproof, kidproof, petproof, and stain resistant. COREtec also describes the thicker WPC build as softer, warmer, and quieter underfoot, with a core that will not warp or buckle.
The look is oak-focused, with Harbor Oak, Highlands Oak, Montrose Oak, and Whittier Oak. Each color uses a wood-look visual with realistic wood texture, so the floor reads more like a plank than a flat printed surface. The 9 inch width and 72.05 inch length give rooms a broader, longer board look. Micro bevel edges soften the plank outline and create a smoother, less defined plank-to-plank appearance.
Living with it
Routine care is straightforward: sweep as needed, clean spills promptly, and damp mop using a vinyl cleaner with neutral pH. Skip shine, wax, and polish cleaners. COREtec says the floor is easy to clean. For installation, COREtec Plus XL usually goes in as a floating angle-tap floor, with direct glue as an option for commercial or special uses. It can be installed above grade, on grade, or below grade, including over existing floors.
COREtec includes a lifetime residential limited wear warranty for COREtec Plus XL, along with a 10-year medium commercial limited warranty. In plain terms, the residential warranty is about limited wear coverage, while the commercial warranty applies to medium commercial use as defined by COREtec. COREtec's warranty document controls the coverage, exclusions, and requirements.
