00:00 – What is the wear layer?
The layer above the decorative layer → available in thicknesses of 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.55 mm, for example.
00:29 – Common Misconception
Even floors with a 0.55 mm wear layer get scratched. The wear layer does not prevent scratches from pressure or small stones.
01:48 – What is the wear layer really for?
It determines how long the surface wears down (becomes matte), not whether it scratches.
02:19 – Areas of Application
• 0.3 mm = Household
• 0.55 mm = Commercial / Heavy Use
Thicker wear layer = lasts longer before the decorative layer wears down.
03:58 – Causes of Scratches
Small stones, sand, rollers → always cause scratches. Protection only provided by carpets/high-traffic areas.
05:05 – Conclusion
The wear layer determines the lifespan of the floor, not its scratch resistance. Even harder materials can get scratched.
Vinyl flooring has become increasingly popular in recent years. This has repeatedly raised questions regarding its use and the so-called wear layer. The most common wear layers are 0.3 mm and 0.50 mm.
In this video, we will address these questions:
What does "wear layer" mean? What types of wear layers are there? How do scratches occur? Are higher wear classes less susceptible to scratches? Which wear class should I choose? What happens where the office chair is used? What is the difference between wear and tear and signs of use?
