This added wear layer not only reduces the need for replacements but also contributes to sustainability by extending the lifespan of your flooring and minimizing waste generation.

Recyclability - A Commitment to Sustainability

Did you know that some luxury vinyl flooring products are recyclable? This means that at the end of their lifespan, these floors can be processed and reused, further minimizing their environmental footprint.
