What Is Aperion Surfaces 12 Mil Vinyl Plank?
Aperion Surfaces 12 mil vinyl plank refers to Aperion LVP or SPC products with a 12 mil protective wear layer.
The key measurements are separate:
- 12 mil describes the wear layer.

A 12 mil wear layer should not be confused with 12mm flooring.

It helps protect the decorative design from everyday residential wear caused by:
