The thicker size that the Eurohome Vario+ has is fantastic for multiple reasons, the first being that the thicker size makes the flooring much more resistant to damage than thinner sizes, making it have a longer lifespan than a thinner size would have. Another reason is that the bevelled V-grooved edges look more pronounced & thus make the floor have a more authentic real wood look. To top it off the thicker sizes allows for a more heavily embossed surface which gives the flooring a much more textured feel.
