Vinyl Plank Floors

<p>The wear layer is a clear coating that helps to maintain the original appearance of your floor, protecting against scratches and general wear and tear. It also makes your floor easier to clean and maintain.</p>

<p>The thickness of wear layers is measured in millimetres, and indicates the level of protection. A commercial grade 0.5mm wear layer can withstand extra heavy traffic perfect for all areas of a busy home and is also suitable for some commercial applications.</p>

0.5mm Wear Layer

Commercial grade 0.5mm wear layer protects the surface of your vinyl plank flooring from everyday wear and tear.

<p>Direct stick vinyl plank floors are designed to be installed using a glue down method. This allows for greater dimensional stability, providing
 a strong floor that will stay in place.</p>

<p>Godfrey Hirst recommends all vinyl plank direct stick installations should carried out by a professional flooring installer.</p>
