More specifically, manufacturers talk about wear layers for CV (cushioned vinyl) flooring. They are multi-layered and have what's called a wear layer on top of a patterned middle layer.
Single-layer PVC flooring only has a design seal; however, it is also often referred to as a wear layer.
The longevity of PVC flooring depends not only on the top, patterned wear layer, but also on the underlayment. The bottom layer, usually PVC foam, is almost more important to the longevity of a PVC multilayer flooring.
