COREtec Originals Enhanced 9" CR501 Luxury Vinyl Plank

COREtec Originals Enhanced CR501: A Bigger Canvas for Your Wood-Look Floor

Give your room a confident foundation with COREtec Originals Enhanced 9" CR501 luxury vinyl plank flooring. Generous 9-inch-wide, 72-inch-long planks showcase the wood-look design on a larger scale, making this style a natural fit for open layouts and contemporary interiors. Enhanced painted bevels outline each board, adding definition and a realistic plank-by-plank appearance.

CR501 balances those expansive proportions with 8 mm WPC construction, a waterproof foamed core, and 1.5 mm attached cork underlayment. Picture a kitchen that flows into the living area, with a coordinated wood-look floor beneath the breakfast table and a comfortable surface for relaxed evenings at home. A 22 mil wear layer and UV acrylic finish help protect the decorative surface against everyday wear.

Wide-Plank Style in Oak and Pecan Looks

Choose the design that complements your furniture, cabinetry, and lighting. CR501 selections include Saffron Pecan, Honey Bronze Oak, Umber Pecan, Worn Leather Pecan, Ivory Lace Pecan, Champagne Mist Oak, Soft Cashmere Oak, Antique Pearl Oak, Golden Veil Oak, and Muted Ember Oak. Compare physical samples in the room where the flooring will be installed to evaluate the color and wood-look detail.

The 9" × 72" format offers a different visual rhythm from shorter, narrower boards. Its broad surface gives the decorative design room to stand out, while enhanced painted edges keep individual planks clearly defined across the finished floor.

Comfort Beneath the Surface

• Waterproof foamed WPC core: Provides the waterproof foundation of the plank. Follow COREtec's requirements for installation, site preparation, and care.
• Cork-backed cushioning: The 1.5 mm attached cork underlayment contributes to underfoot comfort and helps absorb footfall sound.
• Insulating backing: Attached cork helps reduce the chilly feel associated with some hard flooring surfaces.
• 22 mil wear layer: A protective layer over the decorative design helps preserve the floor's appearance during everyday use.
• UV acrylic finish: The factory-applied finish completes the surface. Maintain the floor using COREtec's recommended cleaning methods.
• Enhanced painted bevels: Defined edges add depth to the wood-look layout.

Planning Your CR501 Project

Each carton covers 26.94 square feet and weighs 47.3 pounds. Allow additional flooring for cuts, layout, and waste, and consider how the long planks will run through the room. Plan coordinating trim and transitions for doorways, changes in flooring surfaces, and perimeter details.

CR501 supports floating or direct-glue installation above, on, or below grade when site conditions meet the manufacturer's requirements. Your installer should confirm subfloor suitability, moisture conditions, expansion provisions, and approved materials before work begins. Follow the applicable COREtec instructions, including any restrictions on additional underlayment. A waterproof core does not eliminate the need to address subfloor moisture or other site conditions.

Manufacturer Warranty Coverage

COREtec Originals Enhanced CR501 carries a lifetime limited residential warranty and a 10-year WPC medium commercial warranty. Coverage is provided by the manufacturer and is subject to the applicable warranty terms, exclusions, installation conditions, and maintenance requirements.
