Vinyl Flooring

You will often see the term ‘Wear Layer’ when shopping for vinyl flooring.

The wear layer is a clear top surface layer, added during the manufacturing process to provide durability, as well as stain and scratch resistance for vinyl flooring.

The greater (thicker) the wear layer, the higher the durability as well as stain and scratch resistance.

When deciding on which level of wear layer is right for you, consider how you’ll be using the area for your new flooring.

If you have a high traffic area, such as a busy household with children and pets, it is beneficial to choose a thicker wear layer so that you can enjoy the design on your new flooring for longer.
