Plank Thickness – Most WPC vinyl floors will be thicker than a standard SPC vinyl. WPC vinyl flooring usually ranges from 5mm to 8mm, while and SPC vinyl will stay around 4mm to 6mm.

 

Comfort Under Foot – Due to the construction of the rigid cores, the WPC vinyl will be softer on the foot than an SPC vinyl. WPC vinyls use a foaming agent within the core to give it added cushion. An SPC vinyl is most limestone with little fillers and adhering agents. This gives the SPC vinyl floor a more sturdy feel under foot. With an added underlayment, your SPC vinyl will have a softer feel under foot.

 

Dent Resistance – With an SPC vinyl core being primarily stone based, it will give the floor a more superior dent resistance versus a WPC vinyl. The WPC vinyl is dent resistant, however, it is a softer floor construction that will not be as resilient. An SPC vinyl floor would be the best choice in commercial applications due to this factor.

 

Temperature Fluctuations – If you’re dealing with drastic temperature fluctuations, such as a cabin that is unheated in the winter, an SPC vinyl will have superior performance over a WPC vinyl. Going back to the core construction, an SPC vinyl’s stone make up and dense structure makes it less susceptible to movement than a WPC vinyl option.

 

Price –  Typically, a SPC vinyl will be more affordable than a WPC vinyl. Different features, such as attached underlayments or special wear layers will vary the prices.
