Over the past few years, WPC and SPC flooring have gained immense popularity in the flooring industry due to their ability to offer a cost-effective and durable alternative that closely mimics the charm and features of real hardwood or stone flooring. In addition to their practicality, these flooring options come in a wide range of styles and colours, making them suitable for various interior design themes and more budget-friendly. In this article, we will delve into their features, outlining their advantages and uncovering the reasons behind their widespread adoption in the current market.
What is WPC Flooring?
WPC, or Wood Plastic Composite, is a type of vinyl flooring that features a core made of wood dust mixed with PVC resin. This core is then covered with a vinyl layer that provides the flooring with an attractive appearance and texture. It has many advantages due to the unique construction, most notably the durability and water resistance, which make it a practical choice for any room of the house (including kitchens and bathrooms) as well as office spaces.
What is SPC Flooring?
SPC, or Stone Plastic Composite, is a type of vinyl flooring that features a core made of natural limestone powder mixed with PVC resin. In the same way as above, it is also highly durable and water resistant, making a high-quality, low-maintenance choice for homes and commercial buildings.
Ease of installation
One of the main benefits of both these options is their ease of installation. Our ranges are available in a Click-lock system, which is quick to install in comparison to traditional hardwood or stone. The simpler installation process makes this board much more DIY friendly or, at the very least, saves costs when paying someone to install for you.
Maintenance
In terms of maintenance, both floorings are easy to care for. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional mopping with a damp mop, is all there is to it. Unlike traditional hardwood or stone flooring, which may require periodic refinishing or sealing, they require no such maintenance. You cannot sand and re-finish them like you could a real wooden floor; however, a high-spec board is said to last 30 years or more in normal domestic use.
Why Choose WPC and SPC Flooring?
There are many reasons why they can be a smart choice for your home. Both of these flooring options are easy to maintain, durable and water-resistant, making them perfect for the high-traffic rooms of the home, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Likewise, if you have pets or children, then the durability and ease of cleaning can be another sweetener. Or it could simply be that you’re looking for a natural-looking, practical floor on a budget, which both of these plastic composite options offer.
Choosing between the WPC or SPC Flooring
They share more similarities than they do differences; however, there are a few reasons why customers may choose one over the other when looking through our ranges here at JFJ. Many of our stone plastic composite planks are longer and wider than those of our wood plastic composite range. You may feel that the larger or smaller planks suit your property better.
Stone plastic floorboards are also known to be more rigid and stable, particularly in rooms which could get hotter, such as conservatories.
