Luxury vinyl construction
Most luxury vinyl is a composite of PVC, plasticizers, and print films. The backing is a mix of fiberglass or plasticizers and vinyl. A paper print film is used to cover the material. The print film contains the color pattern.
A layer of recycled PVC or a clear, virgin vinyl is placed on the print film. This layer is referred to as the wear layer of the flooring. This layer protects the paper print film. Embossing or some other level of texture compliments the print film look.
A urethane coating is applied to the wear layer for further protection and to provide the desired pattern sheen. Depending upon the design, the luxury vinyl is cut into LVT or LVP.

The most important element of luxury vinyl
The most important specification is the wear layer. If the wear layer wears through, there will be damage to the paper pattern. The thicker the wear layer, the longer luxury vinyl will look great and last.
