How resistant is LTV flooring?

Is LVT flooring resistant to scratches? How about water? I’m trying to find out more about LVT flooring while considering it as an option for my home.

"Hi

LVT tile (Multi-level vinyl tile) or MLVT as it used to be called is a flooring that is built up in layers to create a good backing a dense construct and a hard wear layer to the surface.
Good, I’m most areas around the home or at work depending on the installation type and area use.
Wet areas are better suited to an anti-slip flooring however some LVTs are more hard-wearing than others as the polyurethane coating is tougher in some products.
Hope this helps 👍"

"lvt is a great product get some free samples and do scratch test yourself you will be able to for sure as for water lvt click is better than glue personally as once the glue gets wet it tends to uplift where as click is a floating floor"
