WPC, or wood
plastic composite, is a form of luxury vinyl tile, LVT, but not all LVT
is WPC. Lots of acronyms to say that WPC is a specialty product type of luxury
vinyl tile, offering additional benefits such as water-resistant material. Luxury
vinyl tile typically includes multiple layers consisting of a thick durable
underlayment, a tough wear layer, image layer displaying realistic looks of
wood or stone and a textured surface. Not all LVT is manufactured the
same, however, and there is quite a difference between quality
made LVT or LVP (luxury vinyl planks) and poorly made material.
WPC is often times referred to as waterproof core, which is
one of the main benefits of WPC flooring. This quality makes WPC quite
desirable for homeowners looking to install a new floor in rooms which may be
exposed to moisture such as kitchens, bathrooms, mud rooms and basements.
It’s the waterproof core that makes WPC flooring such a stable product,
which means it will not contract or expand when exposed to climate or humidity
changes.
WPC is a popular choice for any room in the house and also
in commercial properties. When comparing WPC vs LVT, consider the
temperature and climate of the room in question, and also the wear and tear it
will take. Both WPC and LVT are quite durable in either residential or
commercial applications, offering much bang for your buck with long lasting,
resilient flooring that keeps on performing year after year.
Both WPC and LVT offer a durable floor requiring low
maintenance. With the modern technology used by floor manufacturers
today, it is difficult to tell the difference between natural hardwood and luxury
vinyl tile. LVT and WPC flooring will not succumb to scratches
and stains like hardwood, and is much easier to maintain.
