What “3× scratch-resistant” actually means
Standard vinyl protects its design with a thin coating. ProTech fuses a hard mineral shield over the design — the same idea as the aluminum-oxide finish on prefinished hardwood. It’s rated to take 3× more abuse than standard LVT before showing wear: claws by the back door, dragged chairs, winter grit.
That puts it in the same performance class as Mohawk PureTech — the big brand that created this category. Read the full breakdown →
