The top layer of your vinyl flooring, or the wear layer, is what determines how durable the flooring is. A no-wax coating is made from urethane or vinyl. It’s the most affordable option, but it is the least durable.  You will need to apply a new protective coating every 2-3 years as it wears off over time. These coatings come in a variety of thicknesses and budget options. These coatings are made from advanced materials such as aluminum oxide, and they will provide the greatest protection against everyday wear. Enhanced urethane coatings will cost more, but they will prolong the life of your flooring. You can find vinyl planks with wear layers starting at as little as 2 mil (0.002 in), but these will wear out quickly. Planks with a wear layer of 10 mil (0.01 in) are considered to be appropriately durable for use in moderate-to-high traffic areas of your home. If you are going to be installing your vinyl plank flooring in an area with high foot traffic, such as a restaurant or retail space, choose flooring with a wear layer of at least 20 mil (0.02 in). This will ensure that your flooring is sufficiently durable to last for several years.
