Waterproof Vinyl Flooring

Waterproof vinyl is typically made of four layers.*

• Wear layer: This layer protects your floor’s surface from the wear and tear of everyday life. There’s a large variety of wear layer thicknesses to choose from. The thicker the wear layer, the more traffic it can handle.
• Printed vinyl layer: This layer features the gorgeous photo imagery of wood or stone that makes vinyl so popular as an alternative to natural materials.
• WPC/ SPC core: This is the main attraction! Waterproof flooring contains a solid layer of durable stone-plastic composite (SPC) or wood-plastic composite (WPC) core. It won’t ripple, swell or peel no matter much liquid you subject it to.
• Backing layer: This is the bottom layer of your plank. It provides a sturdy base and sometimes comes with an attached underlayment for added convenience.

*Can vary between products.

The durable core of waterproof vinyl can be made of one of two materials, wood-plastic composite (WPC) or stone-plastic composite (SPC). While similar, there are key differences to understand.

WPC vinyl flooring features a core made from plastic and wood dust. The WPC core is enhanced with a foaming agent, making it slightly softer and more comfortable in addition to being completely waterproof.

Rigid core luxury vinyl flooring comes with an ultra-tough core made of plastic and stone, which is where the name “rigid core” comes from. The SPC core is what makes this flooring so incredibly durable, maintaining its form even over uneven subfloors.

Waterproof vinyl flooring comes in tiles, planks, and rolls that mimic natural wood and stone.
