What to know about wear layers and luxury vinyl?

You've likely heard of wear layers if you've researched luxury vinyl flooring. But it's important to understand this flooring layer to get your best results.

The wear layer helps protect your floors from damage and wear for a longer lifespan. And since it's customizable, you'll want to know more about it.

What is a wear layer?

The wear layer isn't responsible for scratch protection. But it does protect the visual image layer and offers a fantastic sheen to your floors.

We measure this layer in mils, and options range from 6 mils to 20 mils, with some products offering a bit more. In addition, vinyl plank flooring allows you to choose the level of protection you want for your look.

The wear layer thickness is always an essential consideration for durability. Thicker wear layers provide more protection, so your floors will last longer.

What is the lifespan of luxury vinyl flooring?

Durability has a direct tie to your floor's lifespan. A thick wear layer and professional installation can give your floors 20 years or more.

Adding area rugs or runners to your busiest spaces is another way to get the most out of your flooring. Covering your luxury vinyl flooring can add even more protection, so ask about options.
