WPC vs. SPC Vinyl | Flooring Innovations Series | Mannington Vinyl | Ep. 5

WPC vinyl flooring (wood-plastic composite) has revolutionized the world of flooring. It’s stylish, easy to install, and of course waterproof! Now, there’s another innovation in vinyl - SPC vinyl (stone-plastic composite).
SPC flooring offers all the benefits of WPC with one important change. The difference is in the core. While both core options are waterproof, SPC has a tougher rigid core, and WPC is softer.
Not sure which to pick? Here are some crucial points to consider:
Durability: With SPC vinyl, even the heaviest traffic or furniture won’t put a dent in the surface. WPC is softer and more comfortable, but it can dent.
Price: SPC is typically cheaper than WPC, and while not as comfortable, it is tougher. That’s why it appeals to business owners!
Use: WPC is softer and better for home use. SPC vinyl works in the home as well as in light commercial spaces.
We interviewed Jimmy Tuley from Mannington to learn more about which option is best for you. Get the inside scoop on the differences between WPC and SPC, including price, durability, where to use it, and more.

Great video. I am trying to decide which type of flooring to go with, wpc vs spc. Any additional comments for expansion & contraction and water resistance of the core?

[@samml3836]

Same here. What did you end up with?

[@b.c.g.9754]

@@samml3836 I ordered the Shaw Titan HD

[@antonysze]

@@b.c.g.9754 Is that good? I wonder how it performs with many layers. Is it more comfortable to walk on it? What about the surface?

[@RELAXnRENOVATE]

If it's 100% waterproof why does it require expansion gaps and transitions every so many ft. Does the material absorb water or is it the polymer that is expanding. How is this different than LVP which does not require expansion gaps or transitions? thanks

100% waterproof but that doesn't mean you can just leave a spilled bottle of water on the floor. You have a good 8 hours to clean up the best without any damage
