FAQs

Is this flooring suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the Coretec Essentials 1800 LVT is water-resistant and suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas.

Can I install this flooring myself?

The Essentials 1800 is designed for glue-down installation, which requires a well-prepared subfloor and proper adhesive application. While DIY is possible for experienced individuals, professional installation is recommended for best results.

What is the warranty period?

The Coretec Essentials 1800 LVT comes with a 10-year commercial warranty, indicating its durability for demanding environments.

How thick is the LVT?

The LVT has a sturdy thickness of 8mm, providing a comfortable feel and enhanced durability.

Can I install this over existing laminate flooring?

Typically, LVT can be installed over existing hard surface flooring if it is well-adhered, level, and smooth. Always check specific manufacturer guidelines for overlaying different flooring types.

How do I clean spills on this flooring?

Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft mop with a pH-neutral floor cleaner.

Does it come in different colors?

The product description specifies the 'Essentials 1800 Wood Effect' with a deep brown tone. Availability of other colors or variants would be product-specific.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not adhering properly

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly clean, dry, and level. Verify that the correct adhesive for LVT and the specific subfloor type has been used, and that it was applied according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Scratches or scuffs appearing

While scratch-resistant, heavy-duty furniture or sharp objects can cause damage. Use felt pads on furniture legs and avoid dragging items across the floor. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.

Gaps appearing between tiles

This can be due to improper installation or subfloor movement. Ensure tiles were laid tightly together during installation. Check for any signs of subfloor issues causing movement.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

You may be using the wrong cleaning product. Switch to a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for vinyl flooring. Avoid using any type of polish or wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Coretec Essentials 1800 LVT is designed for a glue-down installation. This method requires a clean, dry, and level subfloor. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and a flawless finish. Ensure the subfloor is free of debris, old adhesives, and imperfections. Acclimate the flooring according to the manufacturer's instructions before installation.

Compatibility: This LVT is compatible with most standard subflooring materials, including concrete, plywood, and existing hard surface flooring (provided it is well-adhered and level).

Care: Maintain the beauty of your Coretec flooring with simple cleaning. Regularly sweep or vacuum (using a hard floor attachment) to remove grit and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners, waxes, or polishes, as these can damage the wear layer. Spills should be wiped up immediately.
