SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Flooring

Core Composition: SPC comprises a thin core layer made up of polyvinyl chloride, plasticizers, and around 60% calcium carbonate (limestone) but exceptionally dense core.

Durability & Stability: SPC's higher density and thinner core make it more durable compared to WPC. It is also more resistant to impacts and heavy weights. 

Cost: SPC is typically slightly more affordable than WPC. 

Thickness: SPC floors usually have a thickness between 3.2 and 7 millimeters. 

Foot Feel & Sound Insulation: SPC is less comfortable underfoot and provides less sound insulation compared to WPC due to its denser composition. 

WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) Flooring 

Core Composition: WPC has a core composition typically including polyvinyl chloride, calcium carbonate, plasticizers, a foaming agent, and wood-like materials such as wood flour. It has a thicker, less dense core compared to SPC. 

Comfort: WPC is generally more comfortable underfoot and provides more cushion when walking due to the foaming agent in its composition 

Sound Insulation: Walking is quiet because WPC absorbs more sound than SPC.

Cost: WPC is a little more expensive than SPC.

Thickness: The core of WPC is typically thicker, measuring between 5.5 and 8 millimeters.

WPC provides enhanced sound insulation and increased comfort underfoot, whereas SPC is recognized for its long-lasting, reasonably priced, and exceptional performance in high-traffic areas. The unique use, desired level of comfort, and budget are some of the aspects that influence the decision between the two.
