What to know about luxury vinyl flooring and scratch protection

Luxury vinyl flooring provides outstanding benefits that can serve you in every room, from stunning visuals to exceptional durability, even in your busiest spaces. Part of that durability includes excellent scratch protection, making it a perfect choice for pet owners, and here's what to know about it.

Scratch protection you can stand


Luxury vinyl flooring
is designed with scratch protection in mind right from the start, so they come with a protective top coating. This transparent layer protects the image layer and is made of urethane or acrylic, and it blends in perfectly with all the other waterproof flooring layers.

Choosing the type of protection that best fits your lifestyle is essential, so ask about the different protective layer thicknesses. Since thicker protective layers mean added scratch protection, you'll want to choose this option for rooms to which pets and children have regular access.

Other ways to protect your waterproof vinyl flooring from scratch damage include moving furniture cautiously instead of dragging it across your flooring. You can also use rugs or runners?

to keep wear off the floor?s surface altogether.
