WPC or SPC products have a distinct advantage because their composite core due to its thickness and rigidity hides subfloor imperfections. Traditional vinyl floors are flexible and any uneveness in the subfloor will transfer through the surface resulting in telegraphing or pockets of air underneath the flooring maybe resulting in wrinkling later if not installed correctly. WPC or SPC LVF are waterproof and can go over most subfloors without much preparation.

The main advantage of either a LVF with a WPC or SPC core vs a LVF with a PVC core is two-fold. Due to their structural rigidity these products are able to be produced in wider planks than a LVF product with a PVC core. Extruded as a core material, the thermoplastics waterproof both products and their composites ensures a rigid and dimensionally stable product. However, SPC is made with a solid polymer core which is denser and provides other benefits due to its hardness. WPC features an expanded polymer core that is lighter in weight and provides greater comfort than SPC flooring due to its lower density. LVF finished product is either a tile or plank and offers striking visuals and performance attributes that often make it a preferred flooring choice to natural materials like hardwood and stone. Engineered LVPs are a new category of products combining Luxury Vinyl Flooring(LVF) with either a WPC extruded core or a SPC(Rigid Core).
