The lifespan of LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring typically ranges from 10 to 25 years, depending on various factors, including:
1. **Quality of the Product**: Higher-quality LVT with thicker wear layers tends to last longer.
2. **Installation Method**: Proper installation, whether glue-down, click-lock, or loose lay, can affect durability.
3. **Usage**: Residential use generally results in a longer lifespan compared to heavy commercial use, which can lead to more wear and tear.
4. **Maintenance**: Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the lifespan of LVT flooring. Avoiding harsh chemicals and using protective mats can help maintain its appearance.
5. **Environment**: Conditions such as humidity and temperature fluctuations can also influence longevity.
Choosing a product with a good warranty can also be a sign of its expected lifespan. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific lifespan information and maintenance recommendations.
