Vinyl plank in Maple Ridge, BC from Diverse Flooring

Take the guesswork out of your wear layer


As you shop for the ideal luxury vinyl flooring, you?re sure to hear about the wear layer. It's essential for many homes.

But what is the wear layer? We will briefly answer that question in today's post, so read along with us now.

A wear layer is durable


A wear layer is essential for luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring. Its purpose is to protect the image layer beneath it.

This layer is often confused with scratch protection, which it is not. It does offer some durability, but that depends on the thickness and your specific lifestyle.

Essential facts about luxury vinyl flooring


We measure the wear layer in mils. Some measure as low as 6mil protection, while others measure as much as 20 mils.

The thicker the wear layer, the more durable your luxury vinyl flooring will be. However, if you see your floor?s image wearing off, you?ll know that the wear layer is gone.

Plan accordingly


Before buying your luxury vinyl, be sure to assess the traffic levels correctly. These floors will last longer in busy spaces if they have a thicker wear layer.
