Tarkett ProGen 7x60

installation constraints 9/9 specification claims 3/6

Tarkett’s ProGen is a SPC (rigid polymeric core) rigid core plank measuring 7 by 60 inches at 5 mm overall. Everything on this page is Tarkett’s own declaration about it, read from documents Tarkett publishes, and reproduced next to the document each figure came from.

The row is the product line, not a color. Tarkett 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 × 60 in.

Every cell in the tables below is one of four things. A figure means the manufacturer declares it, and the document it was read from is named beside it. A cell reading no declaration means the manufacturer publishes nothing for that field, which is a finding about the product rather than a gap in this table. A cell reading held pending resolution means two independent readings of the same document disagreed, and nothing is published until a person settles it. A cell reading not collected means no document has been read for that field yet, and that shortfall is ours rather than the maker's.

The six fields this reference argues are worth reading first. Each appears again, in full, in its own section below.

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, of which 4 mm is core and 1 mm is the backing bonded to its underside.

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.

There is no abrasion result. Tarkett declares no ASTM D4060 cycle count for this product, so the only laboratory check on the wear layer figure is absent. See wear layer depth.

Declared durability figures, each with the document it was read from.

Joint and pad

The locking system is not named. It is declared as angle-angle (no system named), which tells you how it goes down but not whose mechanism it is. An angle-angle joint at least rules out the drop-lock action installers warn about. See locking systems, named and unnamed.

A pad is bonded to the underside at the factory, declared as IXPE. That rules out a second underlayment beneath it. See attached pad material.

How the planks join, and whether anything is bonded underneath them.

Warranty: what it does not cover

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

Labor is covered, but conditionally: professionally installed floors only, and only in years one and two of the term. See lifetime warranties and labor.

14 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: rubber or PVC backed mats; sunlight and UV fading; castors and rolling loads; and two others in the list below. The grouping is this reference's; the wording below is the maker's.

Warranty terms as published. The named exclusions are quoted below the table.

Installation constraints

9 of 9 declared

The floor may run 40 linear feet before a transition is required. Converted for comparison against makers who declare the limit the other way round, that is about 1,600 square feet, 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.

That limit is conditional: it applies to light commercial and spaces without permanent HVAC; residential space with fully operational HVAC has no stated limit. A limit that holds in one application but not in another cannot be read out of the column alone, and a reader who takes the number without the condition takes the wrong half of the sentence.

A 0.25 in gap is required, and the reading recorded for this cell names what it is measured to: walls and vertical objects and surfaces.

The subfloor limit is declared as 90% relative humidity, and the test named for it is ASTM F2170. A calcium chloride limit of 6 lb is also declared, under ASTM F1869; the two are separate tests of different volumes of the slab and neither substitutes for the other.

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: the material needs none; the maker still asks for a room between 65F and 85F for 48 hours before and during installation.

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 100 °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.

What the maker requires of the room, normalized where a conversion is defensible.

Specification claims

3 of 6 declared

Tarkett publishes the fire performance as a flux and stops there: 0.45 W/cm², with no class beside it. ASTM E648 puts Class I at 0.45 W/cm² and above and Class II at 0.22 and above, which places this figure at Class I. That placement is arithmetic done here on Tarkett's number, not a class Tarkett printed. A submittal that turns on the class should carry the test report, not this line.

The slip figure is 0.5 under ASTM D2047 (static coefficient of friction). That matters more than the number: the threshold most specifications quote, 0.42, belongs to ANSI A326.3. That standard measures a wet dynamic coefficient, and a static coefficient from a dry test is not the same measurement read on the same scale. The two cannot be compared, and this figure cannot be used to satisfy a specification written against A326.3.

Standardized test results as declared. A figure without its method or its assembly is not carried into a specification.

How much of this row is filled

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

Of the 6 core standardized test results this reference tracks, Tarkett declares 3 and states nothing for the other 3, so the specification badge is not earned.

13 fields are recorded as undeclared instead of left blank: Abrasion cycles, Slip test condition, E648 class, F970 indentation, Static load limit, IIC assembly, Impact insulation class, Unique planks, among others. 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 Tarkett’s: 1 field in the dictionary has not been read for this product: EPD / HPD. It is missing from the table for want of a document held here, not because Tarkett publishes nothing about it.
