# COREtec Pro Enhanced 7x48

> COREtec Pro Enhanced 7x48: wear layer, locking system, warranty exclusions and installation limits, each with the document it was read from.

Source: https://flooringcompared.com/spc/coretec-pro-enhanced-7x48
Coverage: 9 of 9 installation limits declared, 0 of 6 specification claims declared (6 not read here), 2 document conflicts.

COREtec’s COREtec Pro Enhanced is a SPC (solid polymer core) rigid core plank measuring 7 by 48 inches at 5 mm overall. Everything on this page is COREtec’s own declaration about it, read from documents COREtec publishes, and reproduced next to the document each figure came from.

The row is the product line, not a color. COREtec publishes one specification per line and per plank size, and the color underneath changes none of the figures below, so this page covers every color offered at 7 × 48 in.

## Durability

The wear layer is 20 mil, or 0.508 mm. That is the clear film above the printed layer, and not the thickness figure: this plank is 5 mm overall.

No reinforcement is named for the wear layer in the documents read. Where a maker does name one, that name sits next to the mil figure on this site; here the mil figure stands alone, which is worth knowing before comparing it against a product whose layer is treated.

## Joint and pad

The locking system is not named. It is declared as angle-tap (no system named), which tells you how it goes down but not whose mechanism it is. See [locking systems, named and unnamed](/notes/locking-systems-named-and-unnamed).

A pad is bonded to the underside at the factory, declared as cork. That rules out a second underlayment beneath it. See [attached pad material](/notes/attached-pad-material).

## Warranty

The residential term is published as a word, not a number: a lifetime warranty. No document read for it turns that into a number.

The commercial term is conditional: 15 years applies to the heavy commercial term, which the maker also names a limited wear warranty. A period that depends on a purchasing decision made at installation is not the same as a period that runs from the sale, and a floor laid with someone else's adhesive is not covered for the term printed in the table.

Labor is covered, but conditionally: the first five years of the heavy commercial term only: reasonable labor in full to year one, half from year one to five, none after. See [lifetime warranties and labor](/notes/lifetime-warranty-and-labor).

12 exclusions are named in the warranty, and they are listed in full below, not summarized. Among them are the everyday sort a household does not expect to be excluded: sunlight and UV fading; pets; and loss of gloss and scratching. The grouping is this reference's; the wording below is the maker's.

## Where the maker’s documents disagree

COREtec’s own documents do not agree about 2 fields on this product. Nothing is published for them above, because a value two of the maker's documents contradict is not a value to publish under anyone's name. The disagreement is itself a fact about the documents, it is checkable, and it is set out below with both sources named.

## Installation constraints

The floor may run 2,500 square feet before a transition is required. Converted for comparison against makers who declare the limit the other way round, that is about 50 linear feet on a side, but only if the field is square. A long narrow room reaches the linear bound first. See [how far a floor runs before a transition](/notes/max-span-before-a-transition).

A 0.25 in gap is required; the reading recorded for this cell states the distance without naming what it is measured to.

The subfloor limit is declared as 90% relative humidity, and the test named for it is ASTM F2170. A calcium chloride limit is declared as well, but two of COREtec’s own documents give different figures for it, so none is published here as this product’s. Both readings, and the document each came from, are under the conflicts below.

No acclimation is required, which is the practical difference between this and a wood floor. The material can be laid the day it arrives. The reading records a condition on that: a climate controlled environment, which the maker asks for even where it requires no acclimation.

Over radiant heat the floor surface may not exceed 85 °F (29.4 °C). That is a surface temperature, not a thermostat setting. What the figure does not carry is a consequence: radiant heat is not among the warranty exclusions read for this product, so it stands as an installation requirement, not as a stated ground for refusing a claim.

The reading gives a service temperature band of 55 to 85 °F. It is the clause that catches holiday homes and unheated rooms. Whether leaving the band costs the cover is a separate question, and the exclusions are below. A three-season room is permitted; the permission is stated without a separate band of its own.

## How much of this row is filled

Of the 9 core installation limits this reference tracks, COREtec declares all 9, and enough for the installation coverage badge.

Of the 6 core standardized test results this reference tracks, COREtec declares none. The other 6 have not been read here at all, because no document held for this product carries them. 4 more declarations would carry the specification badge, so it is neither earned nor refused here. The count beneath it measures the reading done here, not COREtec’s disclosure.

6 fields are recorded as undeclared instead of left blank: Approved adhesives, Core thickness, Pad thickness, Unique planks, Light commercial warranty, Wear layer finish. Each of those is the maker publishing nothing, not a failure to look here.

The opposite gap is recorded too, and this one is ours and not COREtec’s: 15 fields in the dictionary have not been read for this product: ASTM product standard, Abrasion cycles, Slip test condition, Slip test method, Slip resistance, E648 class, Critical radiant flux, EPD / HPD, among others. They are missing from the table for want of a document held here, not because COREtec publishes nothing about them.
