Wider planks are nice for a faster installation. Less rows to install is typically less time. If it’s a floating floor typically no extra labor is involved. If it is a hardwood floor over 5″ wide, an additional step of gluing the tongue and groove is recommended.
A good wear layer for LVP Flooring is at least 6mil if the floor will have low to medium traffic in a residential setting. A 12mil wear layer is typically the average and we would suggest the minimum wear layer in a medium traffic household with children and pets. A 20mil + wear layer is typically commercially rated for a 5-10 year life and will do better to withstand the wear from larger pets and high traffic areas of a residential or commercial setting.
High traffic areas are best served with vinyl plank. It is resilient and waterproof. A higher thickness wear layer or wear rating will be the best option for commercial type traffic.
LVP and LVT Flooring are good options when a floor is needed in a water-friendly space, a high moisture content area, or high-traffic home or business. Lakehouses, beach houses, basements, kitchens, bathrooms, or any floor of a home or business with children and/or pets is a perfect fir for a resilient waterproof option like LVP flooring or LVT flooring.
Typical residential vinyl plank flooring ranges in thicknesses from 4.5mm overall up to 12mm. Thicker is better due to easier concealment of subfloor imperfections as well as thicker and stronger locking mechanisms to keep the typically floated floor locked together for highest performance. A practical and mostly standard thickness is 8mm including an attached pad that shines residentially and in some commercial settings. Thinner vinyl planks can be successful, but must have the installation area prepared well to ensure less movement and potential for separating or cracking planks over time.
