WPC Floor Introduction
The newest kid on the flooring block is called Waterproof Core Flooring, or WPC. It gets its name from being a wood poly composite, which is what the WPC stands for. The poly composite construction, coupled with the embossed vinyl top layer, is what makes it a waterproof flooring that resists moisture much the way vinyl and luxury vinyl or LVT/LVP tiles and planks do. In his form, it can be mounted in places where wood could never survive, such as high moisture applications like bathrooms, saunas or pool areas. Perhaps the best way to describe a WPC floor is that it is a cross between laminate flooring and a Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring or Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring

What is the difference between WPC and SPC floor
Difference:
SPC: Thickness: 4-6mm
The paving requirements are high, and the ground should not be too soft. If the ground is not laid flat, it will not fit properly. It is generally recommended to do self-leveling before paving. The price is relatively cheap and it feels hard on the feet.
WPC: Thickness 5.5mm-8mm,
The paving requirements are not high. It is the same as ordinary floor paving. It has good elasticity, feels closer to solid wood flooring, and is more comfortable barefoot. It is suitable for floor heating. It can be paved in the whole house, including kitchens and balconies. It is hot-melted with calcium powder and resin. No need Glue, lighter than SPC flooring, with a silent pad on the back for sound-absorbing effect
Which is better, wpc floor or spc floor?
The advantages of WPC flooring include:
Environmental friendly.
Water resistant. More stability. With Good feet feeling on WPC floor
The advantages of SPC flooring include:
Durable,
Affordable price,
Waterproof and Easy to Clean SPC flooring is waterproof and can be installed in kitchens and dining rooms without worry, and can be easily cleaned with regular sweeping and mopping.
To sum up, if environmental protection, water resistance and foot feel are more important, you can choose WPC flooring; if durability, price, waterproof and easy-to-clean characteristics are more important, you can choose SPC flooring.
what is the different from luxury vinyl floor and WPC floor
1. structure is different. Luxury vinyl floor structure is made of wear layer + floor film+middle layer +bottom layer
WPC floor: LVT Layer + WPC Core + Underlay can be choice
2. Stability different: LVT vinyl floor is easy to influence by the high temperature. WPC floor is more stability than LVT floor
3. Cost is different. LVT floor with low cost and WPC with high cost
