There are two main types of Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring: SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite). Understanding the differences between them is crucial for choosing the perfect LVT flooring.
Both SPC and WPC are celebrated for their water-resistant features, suitable for most rooms in a home. SPC, being a newer product, boasts a rigid core for enhanced durability, closely resembling natural stone and tile. WPC, the progenitor of LVT flooring, features a waterproof core that combines comfort and functionality. The choice between SPC and WPC involves factors like cost, durability, and comfort, guiding homeowners to an informed decision.
Performance-wise, LVT not only closely mimics the appearance of genuine stone or ceramic but often outperforms them. Some notable advantages include ease of cleaning, warmth underfoot, resilience to impact, easy installation, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike ceramic or stone, LVT has a vinyl base, making stains, spills, and dirt easy to clean without the challenge of grout lines.
LVT, especially the WPC variant, provides warmth and comfort, surpassing the cold touch of stone or ceramic. Its resilient nature means it resists damage from dropped objects, offering superior durability. Additionally, LVT is known for its ease of installation, reducing professional installation costs compared to stone or ceramic. Repairs are simple,a technician will simply swap out damaged pieces, and the overall cost of LVT is significantly lower than traditional ceramic or stone options.
Maintaining LVT is a breeze, with easy cleaning and upkeep. Despite its vinyl composition, LVT delivers a sophisticated look comparable to high-grade expensive tile flooring, providing a warm feel at a substantially reduced cost.
LVT flooring represents an exciting and lovely evolution in vinyl flooring, replacing traditional stone and ceramic applications with improved overall performance and a more budget-friendly price.
