The Flooring Expert

The total thickness of the flooring includes wear layer, film and spc base thickness. Normally, it’s from 4mm to 6m. The wear layer is the top surface of the rigid core vinyl flooring, it’s like the bodyguard for your floor. The options are from 0.2mm to 0.7mm. For wear layer, it’s true that the thickner the better. The thicker the wear layer (or, the higher the MIL number), the more resistant your floor will be to scratching and scarring.

But the rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is specially manufactured to be ultra-thin, usually measuring no thicker than 6mm. It’s funny because you look at the flooring and it looks thin and flimsy and you think “It’s impossible that’s the most durable vinyl flooring option on the market!” But, it is! When you bend it, you’ll see no matter how strong you are; that SPC core is stronger.
