SPC flooring is defined by its core made of limestone powder and stabilizers, making it extremely dense and rigid. This composition offers excellent resistance to indentation and performs better in extreme temperature fluctuations. WPC flooring integrates wood pulp and foaming agents into its core, creating a thicker plank that is more comfortable to walk on and offers improved sound insulation. While both are waterproof, the primary performance trade-off is between the structural rigidity and dent resistance of SPC versus the underfoot comfort and warmth of WPC.

What core performance differences exist between SPC and WPC luxury vinyl flooring?
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) features a dense core of limestone and polymers, offering superior impact resistance and temperature stability. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) utilizes a wood-fiber core, providing a softer underfoot feel and enhanced insulation, though it is less dense.
