Wood Plactic Composite is a semi-rigid sheet plastic floor, commonly known as wood plastic floor. It is called wood plastic floor because wood powder was added to the early WPC floor. Now there is no wood fiber at all, and it can be completely understood as stone plastic floor. The material is 100% waterproof.
Simply put, it consists of LVT layer and WPC layer (one more 1mm thick black LVT layer than SPC), and the foot comfort and sound absorption effect are very outstanding. If a cork layer or EVA layer is added, some people say that the foot feel is almost the same as that of solid wood floor. From the perspective of comfort, WPC is the PVC floor closest to traditional solid wood floor. Some people in the industry call it “gold-level floor”. Its market retail price is usually between 200-600 yuan per square meter. Its environmental protection performance is also outstanding. It has all the characteristics of LVT floor and SPC floor, and all 144 test indicators have been passed. Moreover, its installation requirements are similar to those of composite floor, with locks, and it is very convenient to install. Because WPC is thick and the material cost is high, its price is higher than LVT floor and SPC floor. There are many people who make WPC floor into wall panels, background walls and ceilings.
Key points:
WPC floor has a high thickness, which can be more than 8mm. It feels very good underfoot, just like wooden floor, and even has better elasticity than wooden floor. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Advantages: The best foot feel, no tile change. The surface has color difference and has a real wood texture.
Disadvantages: The high thickness leads to high cost and high price.
