Is this plank really waterproof?

Yes. The core is waterproof and the plank is rated for wet rooms and below-grade installs. Standing water still needs wiping up, and seams depend on proper adhesive coverage.

Can I install it in a basement?

Yes. It carries a below-grade installation rating, which covers basements and concrete slabs. The slab must be dry, clean and flat before gluing.

Does it need glue, or does it float?

It is a glue-down plank with interlocking edges. The lock helps alignment, but adhesive is what holds it to the subfloor.

How does it compare with rigid-core vinyl planks?

It is thinner and more flexible, so it conforms to minor unevenness but feels firmer and dents more easily. Rigid-core planks are stiffer and often come with attached pad.

Can it go over existing tile or vinyl?

Only if the existing floor is sound, flat and well bonded. Grout lines and texture usually need leveling first so they do not telegraph through the flexible plank.

What thickness is it, and does that matter?

It is 6 mm thick. That keeps transitions low but gives less cushioning and sound dampening than thicker planks.

Our take on the Pinecrest Timber Series 7.25 in. x 48 in. x 6mm Luxury Vinyl Plank

The Pinecrest Timber Series is a 6 mm glue-down luxury vinyl plank with a flexible core and a click-lock edge, sold in 7.25 in. by 48 in. planks. It is fully waterproof and rated for below-grade installs, so basements and slabs are fair game. The flexible core bends over minor subfloor imperfections that rigid-core planks telegraph, but it feels softer underfoot and needs a flat, clean substrate. It suits budget-minded DIYers and basement remodels more than anyone wanting a thick, stiff plank with attached pad.

What reviewers say
