Buying guide: choosing the right floor

SPC (stone plastic composite) is the most stable, fully waterproof rigid core: a good fit for kitchens, bathrooms and basements. WPC is softer and quieter underfoot. A wear layer of 12 mil suits most homes; choose 20 mil or more for pets, kids and light commercial use.

Flooring FAQ

What is the difference between SPC and WPC flooring?

Both are 100% waterproof rigid core vinyl. SPC has a dense stone-plastic core that resists dents and suits high-traffic rooms and basements. WPC has a foamed wood-plastic core that feels softer and quieter underfoot.

What wear layer thickness do I need?

6–12 mil suits bedrooms and low-traffic rooms. 20 mil is ideal for busy homes with kids and pets. 22 mil or more is built for light commercial use.

How do I calculate how much flooring I need?

Multiply room length by width to get square feet, add 10% for cuts and waste (15% for diagonal or herringbone), then divide by the sq ft per box. The calculator on each product page does this for you.

Can I order a flooring sample first?

Yes. Most floors have a sample option for a few dollars, and the sample cost is credited back when you buy the flooring.

Do I need underlayment for vinyl plank flooring?

Many SPC and WPC planks have an attached IXPE or cork pad, so you only need a moisture barrier over concrete. Planks without a pad need a compatible underlayment; check the product specifications.
