In Southern California waterproof vinyl flooring is all the rage. At D&A Home Remodel, the vast majority of our clients opt for SPC. Being so durable, SPC is perfect for just about any application, including commercial flooring. While SPC doesn’t provide as much warmth or softness as WPC, you can order a thicker “wear layer” to increase the give of SPC.

Wear layer: This is a thin, transparent layer that provides scratch and stain resistance. May range from 8 mil (.008") to 20 mil (.020") thick. For most residential applications 12 mil to 20 mil is appropriate. For commercial applications, 20 mil may be needed.
​Vinyl layer: This is the layer that’s printed with the desired flooring pattern and color.
​Core layer: This is a waterproof core made from either stone plastic composite or wood plastic composite.
​Base layer: This is the base of the flooring plank that is comprised of either EVA foam or cork.

Great vid and info.
My understanding though was that mils are 1/1000 of an inch, not millimeters. Why an 8mm plank can have a 20mil wear layer.
