Vinyl plank flooring is generally resistant to scratches and scuffs due to its wear layer, which is a protective coating on top of the vinyl plank. However, it is still possible for vinyl plank flooring to scratch if it is subjected to high levels of abrasion, such as from sharp objects or heavy furniture being dragged across the surface.
The durability of vinyl plank flooring can also depend on the quality of the product. Higher-quality vinyl plank flooring will typically have a thicker wear layer and be more resistant to scratches and other damage than lower-quality products.
To minimize the risk of scratches, it’s recommended to use furniture pads or felt protectors on the legs of furniture to prevent them from scratching the surface of the vinyl plank flooring. Additionally, it’s important to clean up spills and messes promptly and to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that can damage the surface of the flooring.
