Vinyl plank flooring is built to last, but its real-world lifespan depends on the product grade, the installation, and how it's looked after.
Product quality
A thicker wear layer and a rigid core resist scratches and dents for longer. Cheaper thin planks can look tired within a few years in a busy home.
Installation quality
A properly prepared, level subfloor prevents movement, gapping, and premature wear at the joins. Poor prep is the most common reason a floor fails early.
Everyday care
- Felt pads under furniture legs
- Doormats to catch grit at entrances
- Prompt cleaning of spills and abrasive dirt
Choose the right grade, install it properly, and care for it, and quality vinyl planks will serve a Melbourne home for many years. AB Flooring helps with all three.
