Following. I got a sample of this flooring today and am also considering it.

NOTHING. Sigh. You have purchased a CoreTec product with a backing. That means you are done. You can purchase a CoreTec product WITHOUT the backing. That leaves you free to use 3mm cork underlayment. You are not allowed to work with underpad with 97% of all vinyl products. If you want insulation you need to work with a floor that allows it = LAMINATE. A HIGH END laminate ($5/sf) can handle 12mm cork underlay (1/2"). That is serious insulation! All for $1.49/sf. If you insist on the CoreTec Plus AND insulation then you MUST work with a rigid subfloor system like DriCore. It offers a floor raise of 3/4" (19mm) Then the thickness of the CoreTec 8.5mm. This will cause a 1" floor raise. Do you have the ceiling clearance for this? How about the stairs? Personally I would go with 6mm cork underlay (1/4") and a 12mm (1/2") European laminate (Lico, Kahrs, etc) and be done. If your basement has moisture issues (either from above or below...it doesn't matter) you will loose whatever floor you put down. That includes the CoreTec. Yah. No one tells a purchaser that is the cost of a 'little flood' in the basement.

Hello. Im considering Coretec Pro Plus Duxbury Oak for a living room dining room combo w full length slider glass doors/ southern exposure. Does anyone know the temerature rating for this product or have experience w a similar application. A competiing vendor has gotten in my head telling me this product wont hold up. Thanks all, Brian

I would look at Madrid Oak or Wilshire Oak. 9x72 like Cyril but much more budget friendly. The main difference is the core. the Pro SPC rigid cores are much less expensive.
