Generally speaking, the lower the gloss level the more forgiving the floor will be to the daily wear of foot traffic. We recommend floors with medium to low gloss finishes for high activity rooms. The thickness of the wearlayer affects wear performance. The thicker the wearlayer, the more resistant the floor will be against wear. A floor with a thick wearlayer is recommended for rooms with high traffic patterns, such as kitchens. No other product feature influences wear performance more than the wearlayer. Urethane wearlayer offers the best performance against wear and staining, especially asphalt tracking, and it will not scuff. Vinyl wearlayer offers good performance against wear and staining. Although it may occasionally scuff, it cleans very easily. The thickness of the floor determines many of its performance characteristics.

Thicker vinyl floors provide:

• More indentation resistance
• More cushioning and comfort under foot
• More noise dampening
• More insulation
