THE CORE DIFFERENCES – WPC VS. SPC
WPC stands for Wood Plastic Composite. This core is made of wood dust, plastic, and foaming agents. WPC is thicker, softer, warmer underfoot, and quieter than other composite options. It is also incredibly realistic looking. With WPC, installations are floating; that means they are not glued or stapled to the subfloor.
SPC is the next evolution of rigid core flooring. It stands for Stone Plastic Composite. SPC’s core exchanges the wood of WPC for stone, making a more complex, more dent-resistant floor that performs well within the home.
