Is 20 mil LVP necessary in every home?

Not necessarily. High traffic, pets and demanding use can justify a heavier wear layer, while lower-traffic rooms may perform well with less. Compare the whole product and warranty.

Can LVP go over concrete slab?

Is a thicker LVP always better?

No. Total thickness can affect feel, rigidity and acoustics, but wear layer, locking system, finish, core quality and installation conditions also matter.
