How important is the luxury vinyl flooring ‘wear layer’?
Luxury vinyl flooring is a popular and durable flooring option that can enhance the look of any home. At Arrowhead Carpet & Tile, located in Glendale, Arizona, you can find a wide selection of luxury vinyl plank and tile designs that will suit your style preferences and needs.
Wear Layer
Luxury vinyl flooring consists of four layers, including an image layer that mimics the appearance of wood, stone, ceramic, or a patterned design. The transparent wear layer that covers the image layer determines the floor's longevity. It is recommended to select a plank or tile with a thick wear layer, typically available in 6-, 12-, or 20-mil options, for maximum durability.
Core Layer
Luxury vinyl flooring also has a core layer that contributes to its longevity. High-quality luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring have a waterproof core that prevents warping, buckling, shrinking, or expanding when exposed to water. The waterproof core is made of a wood plastic composite (WPC) or a stone plastic composite (SPC) core, made of wood flour or limestone.
Installation
When it comes to installation, it's important to hire a professional to ensure that your luxury vinyl flooring is installed correctly. At Arrowhead Carpet & Tile, our experienced installers will make sure that your new flooring is installed with precision and care, ensuring that it lasts for years to come.
