- Is COREtec Plus waterproof enough for a bathroom?
- Yes. The rigid core is waterproof, so standing water and humidity will not swell the planks. Seal the perimeter and transitions to keep water from getting underneath.
- Can I install it myself?
- The click-lock edge is designed for floating DIY installation over a flat, clean subfloor. Allow expansion gaps at walls and follow the maker's acclimation steps.
- How does it compare with COREtec Originals?
- Plus is the thicker, more rigid line with attached cork. Originals is softer and thinner, so Plus feels more solid but sits higher against door jambs and trim.
- Does it need underlayment?
- No. The cork backing is attached, so a floating install needs no extra underlayment. Check that your subfloor is flat, since the cork will not hide dips.
- Is it good for homes with pets?
- The wear layer resists scratches and the core is waterproof, which suits pet messes. Keep claws trimmed and use felt pads under heavy furniture.
- What is in the box?
- Planks come in cases with the cork backing attached. Transitions, trim and adhesive for a glue-down install are sold separately.
