Which one is more suitable for you? SPC or WPC?

For SPC floors, the core consists of natural limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride, and stabilizers. In WPC vinyl floors, the core is made of recycled wood pulp and plastic composites. Both core layers are completely waterproof.

Besides the core, the following are the key differences between WPC vinyl flooring and SPC vinyl flooring:

  • WPC floors have a thicker core than SPC floors. Plank thickness for WPC floors is generally about 5.5 to 8 millimeters, while SPC floors are usually between 3.2 and 7 millimeters thick.

  • When it comes to how the flooring feels underfoot, WPC vinyl has the advantage. Because it has a thicker core compared to SPC flooring, it feels more stable and cushioned when walking on it. That thickness also helps to provide insulation to keep the floors warmer.
  • The thicker core of WPC floors also makes them superior when it comes to sound insulation. The thickness helps to absorb the sound, so it’s quieter when walking on these floors.

Advantages and Disadvantages of LVT Floor

Advantages:

N0.1 Green Environmental Protection

Therefore, PVC floors become increasingly popular in hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, vehicles and other places with large traffic.

No.3 High Elasticity and Super Shock Resistance

No.6 Waterproof and Moisture-proof

Since the main component of PVC flooring is vinyl resin and has no affinity with water, it is naturally not afraid of water. As long as it is not soaked for a long time, it will not be damaged; and it will not be mildewed due to high humidity.

Disadvantages:

Non-natural materials, high requirements for the base floor (the base layer must be flat, solid, dry when the LVT floor is laid, the surface of the plastic floor is smooth, the yin and yang angles are square, no ribs, no oil, no dust and no impurities).
