The average lifespan of luxury vinyl plank flooring generally ranges between 10 to 25 years, heavily dependent upon the thickness of the protective wear layer, overall product quality, and the rigor of daily foot traffic. Thinner, peel-and-stick or glue-down budget options may show wear within a decade, whereas high-end rigid core engineering with thick wear layers (20 mils or higher) can endure for decades if properly maintained and protected from heavy gouging or direct sunlight exposure.
