WPC Plank
                     WPC Planks – The Comfortable, Waterproof Revolution in 
Flooring for 2025
As we approach the end of 2025, WPC Plank remain a standout choice in the luxury vinyl plank (LVP) 
category, blending realistic wood aesthetics with exceptional performance. WPC planks feature a core 
made from a foamed blend of wood fibers and thermoplastics (like PVC), creating a thicker, more 
forgiving material than rigid alternatives. This results in planks that are typically 5-8mm thick (often with 
attached underlayment), offering superior comfort, warmth, and sound absorption compared to denser 
options.
WPC planks come in two primary applications:
● Indoor Luxury Vinyl Planks: Floating, click-lock systems ideal for homes, with waterproof cores 
perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
● Outdoor Composite Decking Planks: Grooved or solid profiles with hidden fasteners, designed 
for patios, decks, and balconies where weather resistance is key.

authentic wood visuals.
Why WPC Planks Stand Out in 2025
Key benefits include:
● Unmatched Comfort: The foamed core feels softer and warmer underfoot than rigid SPC planks,
reducing fatigue during long standing periods and providing better acoustic dampening.
● 100% Waterproof: No swelling or warping in wet areas; ideal for spills, humidity, or outdoor 
exposure.
● Realistic Appearance & Feel: Advanced embossing-in-register (EIR) technology aligns texture 
with grain patterns for lifelike wood replication.

WPC vs. SPC vs. Traditional Vinyl: 2025 Comparison
● WPC excels in comfort, warmth, and sound reduction but may dent slightly more under extreme 
pressure.
● SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) offers denser rigidity, better dent resistance, and thermal stability 
for high-traffic or commercial areas, though it feels harder and colder.
● Traditional vinyl lacks the rigid core entirely, making it less durable long-term.
WPC often wins for residential spaces prioritizing a premium, hardwood-like feel without the maintenance.
