The primary performance difference between WPC and SPC lies in their core composition. WPC incorporates wood flour and foaming agents, making it softer underfoot and better at muffling noise, which is ideal for residential bedrooms or living areas. SPC, conversely, utilizes limestone and stabilizers to create a rigid, highly dense core. This rigidity makes SPC more resistant to indentations from heavy furniture and more dimensionally stable, meaning it is less likely to expand or contract significantly when exposed to direct sunlight or large temperature swings. Selection depends on the balance required between comfort and durability.

What are the primary differences in performance between WPC and SPC luxury vinyl?
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) features a foamed core that offers superior comfort and sound absorption, while SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) uses a stone-based core that provides maximum impact resistance, higher density, and improved stability in environments with temperature fluctuations.
