![]() ![]() In this case, LL just chooses to to list the specs as provided by the factory rather than perform the conversion. The private labeler can choose to convert the specs into whatever format they want. For this reason, the Chinese producer has no reason to list specs according to an esoteric US standard. Fact is that a majority of vinyl, particularly in the plank category, is produced in China (Mannington is one of the few companies that is able to produce LVT domestically) and exported all around the world for various firms that private label them. ![]() 12 mil layers are frequently reported as 0.3mm. The LL vinyl would have a 20 mil layer at 0.5mm. I found this a lot when shopping for vinyl tile at various places. There is nothing legal to compel them to list it to a specific system. LL is not alone in reporting wear layer measurements in mm vs mils.

In my installation, seams are all very tight with no signs of any separation after 8 months, despite all this ridiculous cold weather no doubt causing more contraction than what I would normally ever see. Overall, it does take a bit of time and patience to get it installed well. the thickness does make it a bit tougher to cut so any advantage that the thickness has in making it lock together is balanced by it being harder to make cuts (assuming score and break with a blade and not power tools).
