What is WPC Flooring?

WPC stands for wood plastic composite and is a type of luxury vinyl flooring enhanced with a waterproof core.  WPC is known for this most desirable quality of moisture and water resistance, becoming quite popular in residential and commercial spaces alike.  WPC provides the look of real hardwood with less maintenance and added durability.  WPC is revolutionizing the way we think of vinyl flooring, providing timeless beauty at an affordable cost.

WPC Flooring is Constructed in Layers

WPC flooring products are constructed in layers with an extruded core made up of synthetic plastic mixed with recycled wood to produce waterproof planks.  A PVC veneer provides added durability and water resistance that will not swell or warp from exposure to water.  Layers in WPC flooring consist of:

• Core underlayment which provides insulation, absorbs imperfections in the subfloor, and resistance to mold and mildew.  
• A waterproof core that will not contract or expand
• Top layer of luxury vinyl which provides resilience with resistance to chips and dents
• Top wear layer which is easy to clean and offers resistance to stains from normal or excessive wear and tear

WPC is beautiful and comfortable, making it a smart investment that brings valuable benefits to your office or home for many years.
