You'll be most interested in these four layers. They strongly contribute to the product's aesthetics, waterproof capabilities, and strength.
The core: the foundation of a floor
Cores are responsible for stability and waterproof capabilities. Luxury vinyl floors are made up of either vinyl, WPC (wood plastic composite), or SPC (stone plastic composite) cores.
All of them are 100% waterproof, whether submerged or spilled on.
The printed design sheet
Luxury vinyl tile (or LVT flooring) is cut into square, tile-sized pieces. It can also be cut into planks to mimic hardwood floorboards or stone slabs.
Realism is underscored with luxury vinyl flooring. The design layer includes nature-inspired, realistic images of wood, stone, and tile taken digitally. The floors have micro beveling and embossing to add depth, dimension, and textured looks.
The wear layer
A transparent melamine layer stands over the design layer. It protects the floor from scratches, scuffs, and dents, making it impossible to "walk off" the design.
