Galveston Oak (VV017-01002) is the weathered, gray-leaning oak in COREtec's
Pro Classics collection. In the product photography and installed shots on this
page the planks read as a mid-tone gray-brown with visible sawn texture, open
grain, and scattered knots and mineral streaks, with clear tone variation from
plank to plank. Screens render gray tones differently, so order a sample before
committing if you are matching to cabinetry, trim, or an adjoining floor.
Construction is 5 mm SPC, a solid polymer core, with a 20 mil wear layer,
UV acrylic finish, and cork underlayment attached to the back of every plank.
Planks are 7" x 48" with a micro bevel, which keeps seam lines subtle instead
of pronounced. COREtec approves this product for floating or direct glue-down
installation, above, on, or below grade. Floating installs need a 1/4"
expansion gap at the perimeter, widening to 1/2" for areas over 2,500 square
feet, so plan on baseboard or quarter round to cover it. This is oak-look
vinyl, not oak hardwood.
What this floor is rated for
COREtec builds Pro Classics as a 100% waterproof floor. The planks
themselves will not swell or delaminate from surface water, spills, or wet
mopping, which is why it is approved for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms,
and below-grade basements. Waterproof planks are not the same as a waterproof
room. Water can still reach the subfloor at the perimeter, and excessive
subfloor moisture can cause mold or mildew underneath regardless of the floor
above it. Basements and crawl spaces need to be dry before installation.
The 5 mm rigid SPC core and 20 mil wear layer are specified for high-traffic
residential and commercial use, and COREtec backs this product with both a
lifetime residential limited wear warranty and a 15-year heavy commercial
limited wear warranty. A 20 mil wear layer is a thick residential and light
commercial spec, but no wear layer makes a floor scratch-proof or dent-proof.
Use felt pads under furniture and a hard-floor caster on rolling chairs.
COREtec markets the Pro line as kidproof and petproof and covers pet stains
under its warranty, subject to conditions including prompt cleanup. Read the
COREtec Pro Lifetime
Residential Limited Wear Warranty for what is and is not covered before
you rely on it.
The UV acrylic finish means routine sweeping and damp mopping is all the
maintenance required. It never needs sanding, sealing, or refinishing.
Checking you have the right product
This SKU sold for years as COREtec Pro Plus Galveston Oak,
and USFloors also cataloged it as 50RLV1002. COREtec renamed
the line to Pro Classics and some of the manufacturer's own image files still
carry the older label. Pro Plus Galveston Oak 7" x 48", 50RLV1002, and
VV017-01002 are all the same floor. It is a different product from COREtec Pro
Enhanced (9" x 73") and Pro Premium (9" x 72"), which are wider, longer, and
cover a different square footage per carton.
How much to order
One carton covers 28.84 square feet. Add roughly 10 percent for cutting
waste, and more for diagonal or herringbone layouts or rooms with a lot of jogs
and closets. A 400 square foot room works out to about 440 square feet with
waste, or 16 cartons. Order the full job at once where you can, since dye lots
vary between production runs.
Coordinating T-molding, reducer, baby threshold, quarter round, flush and
overlap stair nose, and stair treads are available in matching color. Samples can be ordered from this page.
