Galveston Oak is a weathered, gray-leaning oak-look vinyl plank in COREtec's Pro Classics collection. In the photos the planks are a mid-tone gray-brown with visible sawn texture, open grain, and scattered knots and mineral streaks. Tone varies clearly from plank to plank. This is oak-look vinyl, not oak hardwood.
Each plank is 5 mm SPC (a solid polymer core) with a 20 mil wear layer and a UV acrylic finish. A cork underlayment is attached to the back of every plank. The planks measure 7" x 48" and have a micro bevel that keeps seam lines subtle. The planks are 100% waterproof and will not swell or delaminate from surface water, spills, or wet mopping. The subfloor and the perimeter are not waterproofed by the planks, and basements and crawl spaces must be dry before installation.
The floor can be installed floating or glued down directly, above, on, or below grade. Floating installs need a 1/4" expansion gap at the perimeter, or 1/2" for areas over 2,500 square feet. Baseboard or quarter round can cover the gap. The UV acrylic finish means sweeping and damp mopping is all the upkeep needed, and the floor never needs sanding, sealing, or refinishing. No wear layer makes a floor scratch-proof or dent-proof, so use felt pads under furniture and a hard-floor caster on rolling chairs.
