Numerous characteristics of LVT include its depth, realism, durability, ease of cleaning, and usefulness. Europine LVT has grown to be one of the most widely used flooring solutions in today’s homes, hotels, airports, and other heavily trafficked structures.
Customers favor LVT for home use because it can be applied effectively, comes in a variety of colors and designs, and has exceptional resilience against scuffs and scratches.
LVT is multilayer flooring. Consisting of 8 layers. Let’s examine a few layers to find out what makes this the perfect option for your home or commercial property.
Base
The structural support the vinyl requires to function well is provided by the compact beneath the layers. The flooring may lay flat when placed thanks to a sturdy backing cushioned with a layer of glass fiber, which adds dimensional stability to avoid curling. The fiberglass also offers a pleasant, cushioned feel beneath foot.
Printed Film
Modern design technology is used to create the ultra-realistic design layer, ensuring the appearance of beautiful wood, stone, and ceramic tiles on the design film. The pattern is completed with a mesh coating that produces incredibly lifelike flooring textures when grained at high pressure.
Wear
Your luxury vinyl tiles are primarily protected by a layer that lies between the UV coating finish and the print or design layer. It is referred to as the “wear layer” and is the single most important factor in determining how your flooring’s integrity changes over time.
The wear layer protects the design layer, where the aesthetic magic takes place, from all types of harm. Without this protection, the printed pattern may be harmed, destroying the plank in the process. According to Europine, the wear layer and the anti-UV coating should be strengthened by purchasing specific protective coat finishes. The majority of these coatings are strengthened by the addition of materials like ceramic compounds that further harden the plank.
The more resistant the tile is to surface damage like scratches, scuffs, and dents, the thicker the wear layer should be. These boards can almost completely resist visual scars with the use of specific coatings. Of course, the best vinyl flooring on the market is the most expensive, so the thickest floors are also the priciest. Here at Europine, we’ve discovered that the typical commercial or industrial operation chooses 28-mil wear layers. For residential use, the thinner wear layers typically work better, while floors with thicknesses beyond 28 mil typically need to withstand strong weights and significant traffic.
