    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    I'm so glad you responded. I feel like I've been getting a lot of good advice from other people, but not for the right product. I thought it was supposed to be pretty forgiving stuff. So when you say "fill the gaps" what do you mean? Like caulk between the boards and then poor the self...

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    When you say patch do you mean leveling compound or something else? It can't be something too liquid or it will just seep between the subfloor planks.

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    Ken. Really? That's definitely not what most people are saying, but then none of them have worked with Coretec. So I will say that since I posted this question I took an eight foot level and, laying it across the floor found that I've got about a 1/4" dip in the subfloor. A little more than...

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    This is never easy, is it? So I'm at home depot and they have quarter inch plywood but it has obvious voids on all the edges.

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    It is. It's a snap lock product, 1/4" thick with an 1/8" inch cork layer adhered to the bottom.

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    Thanks for your reply, Floorist. I only mentioned Luan specifically because a friend who almost had LVT installed and had a similar plank subfloor was told by his installer that he wouldn't put in the flooring without first adding a layer of Luan. But what you've said makes sense. My only...

    Luan over an old plank subfloor for Coretec Plus?

    Hi, all. I'm a homeowner about to install Coretec Plus and, pulling out the old, beat up hardwood I found I had an old plank subfloor instead of plywood. The planks are in pretty good condition and mostly level, but there are some areas where planks are lower or higher than others, and a few...
