When shopping for new floors, you've probably heard the term wear layer—but what does it actually mean?
The wear layer is the clear protective coating found on many flooring products, including luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and laminate flooring. It helps protect the floor from scratches, scuffs, stains, and the everyday wear that comes with busy households.
Choosing the right wear layer depends on how the space will be used, which is why professional guidance can make a big difference during the selection process.
At New Bedford Tile & Carpet, we're here to help you choose flooring that's both beautiful and built to fit your lifestyle.
