What is a 22 Mil Wear Layer?
The wear layer is the protective coating on the surface of luxury vinyl flooring that shields the floor from damage caused by daily use. A 22 mil wear layer is considered a commercial-grade level of protection, offering excellent durability for high-traffic environments.
This thicker wear layer helps prevent scratches, scuffs, and wear patterns, making it ideal for busy households and commercial spaces.
22 mil vinyl flooring is commonly installed in:
- High-traffic residential areas
- Offices and retail stores
- Restaurants and commercial buildings
- Rental properties and multi-family housing
- Homes with pets and children
