Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "22 mil" refer to in vinyl plank flooring?
"22 mil" refers to the thickness of the transparent wear layer, which is the protective top coating of the plank. One mil is 1/1000th of an inch. A 22 mil layer is considered commercial-grade, offering significantly enhanced protection against scratches, stains, and wear compared to thinner (e.g., 6 mil, 12 mil) residential layers.
Is 22 mil vinyl plank flooring suitable for residential use?
Absolutely. While engineered for commercial duty, it is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas in homes, rental properties, or anywhere maximum durability is desired. It offers peace of mind and a much longer lifespan than standard residential flooring.
Can this flooring be installed in bathrooms or basements?
Yes. Our 22 mil vinyl plank flooring is 100% waterproof due to its rigid core and sealed surface. It is an ideal solution for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements where traditional hardwood would be unsuitable.
How does the durability compare to laminate or traditional hardwood?
This flooring outperforms laminate in wet areas and rivals hardwood in scratch resistance. The 22 mil wear layer provides better protection against surface damage than most pre-finished hardwoods, and it requires far less maintenance. It is also more dimensionally stable than both when exposed to humidity changes.
Do you offer samples and what are the MOQs?
Yes, we provide free physical samples of our 22 mil vinyl plank flooring collections upon request. Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for container loads is competitive, and we offer flexible terms for established B2B partners. Please contact our sales team for specific details.
