Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main benefit of a 0.55mm wear layer?
The primary benefit is its exceptional durability and longevity. A 0.55mm wear layer is a commercial-grade specification, providing the highest level of protection against scratches, scuffs, and heavy foot traffic. It ensures the floor’s appearance remains pristine for an extended period, even in the most demanding environments.
Is a 0.55mm wear layer necessary for a residential home?
While a thinner wear layer (e.g., 0.3mm or 0.4mm) is sufficient for most homes, a 0.55mm wear layer is an excellent choice for very active households, especially those with children and large pets. It offers the ultimate peace of mind and is a long-term investment that will withstand virtually anything daily life can throw at it.
How does LVT with a 0.55mm wear layer resist stains?
The thick wear layer, combined with a protective top coating, makes the surface of the LVT non-porous and highly resistant to stains. Common household spills like coffee, wine, or food can be easily wiped away without penetrating the surface. This makes it a hygienic and easy-to-clean flooring option for any room.
