Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose LVT with a 0.7mm wear layer over a 0.55mm wear layer?
You should choose a 0.7mm wear layer for projects that demand the absolute highest level of durability and longevity. While 0.55mm is excellent for most commercial settings, a 0.7mm wear layer is the superior choice for high-footfall public spaces, industrial environments, or for a residential floor where you want a truly 'fit and forget' solution that will last for many decades.
Is LVT with a 0.7mm wear layer suitable for a family home?
Yes, it is an exceptional choice for a family home. While it may be considered 'over-engineered' for some residential needs, it provides the ultimate protection against everything from pets and children to heavy furniture. This is the flooring for those who want a lifetime guarantee of durability and a pristine appearance.
Does the extra thickness of the wear layer affect the appearance of the floor?
No, the thickness of the wear layer is a clear, transparent coating that sits over the design layer. A thicker wear layer does not change the visual appearance of the floor but significantly enhances its resistance to abrasion, scratches, and other forms of surface damage, ensuring the design remains protected for a longer period.
