## Design notes

The look is wide, long, and plank-forward, with 9-inch boards and 72.05-inch lengths. Color choices are Appalachian Pine, Arvon Oak, Hayes Oak, Venado Oak, Waddington Oak, and Williamson Oak. The collection includes realistic wood looks with different species, colors, textures, and bevel details. An enhanced painted bevel defines each plank edge.

## Living with it

Routine care is simple: sweep, clean spills promptly, and damp mop with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner. COREtec describes the surface as easy to clean. In homes, COREtec Plus XLE usually goes in as a floating click floor. Direct glue is also an option for commercial or special uses. It is approved for above-grade, on-grade, and below-grade installation in the house.

## The warranty, in plain terms

COREtec lists a lifetime residential limited wear warranty for COREtec Plus XLE. COREtec also lists a 10-year medium commercial limited warranty. Those warranties are limited, so coverage depends on the written COREtec warranty document. That document governs the terms, limits, exclusions, and any required conditions.

## Questions

### Can COREtec Plus XLE go in a basement?

Yes. COREtec Plus XLE is approved for below-grade installation, along with on-grade and above-grade spaces. It has a waterproof foamed core and an attached cork underlayment, with the wood look carried through 9-inch by 72.05-inch planks.

### Is COREtec Plus XLE a good fit for homes with kids or pets?

COREtec promotes COREtec Plus XLE as kidproof and petproof, and says its wear layer helps protect against heavy wear and stains. Routine care still matters: sweep, wipe spills promptly, and damp mop with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner.

### Is this floor waterproof for kitchens and entry areas?

COREtec markets COREtec Plus XLE as 100% waterproof and says it is protected from swelling, cupping, or cracking caused by water. That makes it a practical wood-look choice for rooms where spills and wet shoes are part of daily life.

### What does the attached cork do?

COREtec Plus XLE includes attached cork underlayment. COREtec says the cork helps reduce noise and add thermal insulation, and describes the thicker WPC build as softer, warmer, and quieter underfoot.

### How is COREtec Plus XLE installed?

For residential spaces, it usually goes in as a floating click floor. Direct glue is also a listed method for commercial or special uses. COREtec says its angle-tap system is designed for easy installation over existing floors.

### Does COREtec Plus XLE need sanding or refinishing?

No. COREtec describes the UV acrylic finish as maintenance free and not needing sanding, sealing, or refinishing. Routine care is sweeping, prompt cleanup of spills, and damp mopping with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner.
