COREtec Rocky Mountain Oak is a floating vinyl plank floor built on a waterproof WPC core of recycled wood and bamboo dust, PVC and limestone. Each 5" x 48" x 8 mm plank carries a 20 mil wear layer, 4-sided micro-bevels and an attached cork underlayment that adds warmth and dampens sound. The core is dimensionally stable, so it does not need expansion strips in large rooms, and the floor is rated for wet areas. It suits homeowners who want a wood-look floor in kitchens, baths and basements without glue or nails. Against glue-down LVT and laminate, it wins on waterproofing and easier floating installs; laminate rivals still feel harder underfoot and are not waterproof at the core.

Owners rate this floor very highly, praising its waterproof core, easy floating install and the warmer, quieter feel from the cork backing. Complaints are few and mostly about hollow sound over uneven subfloors and dirt settling in the bevels.
COREtec Rocky Mountain Oak (VV023-00207) is a waterproof vinyl plank floor from the COREtec Plus line. The planks measure 5" x 48" x 8 mm. Each plank has a 20 mil wear layer and 4-sided micro-bevel edges.
The extruded core combines recycled wood and bamboo dust, virgin PVC and limestone. The floor is waterproof, so it can be installed in wet areas and will not swell or warp when exposed to water. It is dimensionally stable, so it does not expand or contract under normal conditions and needs no expansion strips in large rooms.
Each plank has an attached cork underlayment. This makes the floor quieter and warmer underfoot and naturally resistant to odor-causing mold and mildew. The planks install as a floating floor.
