Wood PLastic Composite Vinyl
(WPC) Vinyl Flooring is a more comfortable more durable alternative to traditional wood flooring. While it has “wood” in the name, most of this relatively new flooring solution involves either plastic composites or recycled wood pulp making up the base of the floor. Multiple layers make up WPC:
- Wear layer
- Vinyl top coat
- Decorative print
- WPC core
The result is a thicker form of vinyl flooring that is stable and strong. This type of flooring uses a plank system and is glueless, making it quick and easy to install.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) will allow you to enjoy the look and feel of hardwood flooring for less. It’s made using a 3D printing method to replicate the appearance of all-natural flooring options such as stone, tile and hardwood. You’ll find that it has the same depth and features as these materials, including their textures and natural colors. LVT is also made up of multiple layers:
- Vinyl backing
- Vinyl colored layer
- Photographic film
- Top wear layer
Because this flooring can be installed over a wide range of subfloor surfaces in homes and commercial buildings, any space can be updated with a luxurious touch. The click-lock design also makes it easy to install and maintain.
Rigid Core Vinyl Flooring
Rigid core vinyl flooring, which is sometimes referred to as Stone Plastic Composite flooring, is strong, durable and meant to last a lifetime. It’s a type of engineered vinyl floor that can include either a stone plastic composite core or a wood plastic composite core depending on the type. This core is enhanced to provide extra stability and strength. Just like WPC and LVT, it includes multiple layers:
- Wear layer
- Vinyl top coat
- Rigid core
- Attached underlayment
Rigid Core Flooring is perfect combination for active, style-savvy homes.
