WPC flooring incorporates an expanded foaming agent in the core, which increases cushioning and sound insulation, making it softer underfoot. In contrast, SPC core is composed of limestone powder and stabilizers, resulting in a significantly denser, more rigid product. SPC’s high density provides superior resistance to heavy furniture indentations and is less prone to expansion under fluctuating temperatures compared to WPC. Choosing between them depends on whether the installation requires a softer feel or maximum structural stability.

What core performance metrics distinguish WPC from SPC luxury vinyl?
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) features a foamed core providing comfort and warmth, whereas SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) uses a dense limestone core for extreme rigidity and impact resistance. SPC is typically thinner but offers higher indentation resistance for high-traffic areas.
