Why it matters
Homeowners often ask for thickness first, but thickness alone does not prove durability, comfort or lock stability.
How to think about thickness
Thickness affects feel, transition height and sometimes installation tolerance. It should be read together with product construction.
Wear layer protects the surface.
Core construction affects stability and lock strength.
Subfloor condition affects how the plank behaves after installation.
Practical selection steps
For an HDB or condo home, start with room use, current floor, traffic and timeline. Then choose the product specification that fits those details.
Living rooms and bedrooms may need different priorities.
Retail and office use need traffic review.
Door clearance and transitions should be checked early.
