The core is the foundation of the plank, determining its density and locking system performance. WPC cores include wood flour for a softer feel, while SPC cores use high levels of stone powder for superior rigidity and impact resistance, providing different benefits depending on the application.

What materials make up the core of vinyl planks?
The core of luxury vinyl planks typically consists of a high-density blend of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, calcium carbonate (limestone) fillers, and stabilizers. This composition creates the structural integrity required for rigid core, WPC (wood-plastic composite), or SPC (stone-plastic composite).
