Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring is manufactured with a core of limestone and stabilizing agents, resulting in a dense, rigid plank that offers high resistance to indentation and thermal expansion. Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) flooring utilizes wood pulp, calcium carbonate, and foaming agents. This aeration creates a lighter, thicker board that provides improved acoustic dampening and thermal insulation. The choice between them depends on whether the installation requires maximum impact resistance (SPC) or comfort and sound absorption (WPC).

What core factors differentiate SPC and WPC luxury vinyl core materials?
SPC cores utilize a limestone-based composite for superior density and dent resistance, while WPC cores incorporate wood-plastic composites with foaming agents to provide a softer, warmer underfoot feel. Both serve as durable rigid-core alternatives to flexible vinyl planks.
