There are quite a few benefits to choosing WPC vinyl flooring over other types of flooring, including:
Affordable: WPC flooring represents a step up from standard vinyl without inflating the cost too much. You will spend less on this type of flooring than if you had selected hardwood floors, and some varieties are also cheaper than laminate or tile. Many homeowners opt for DIY installation with WPC flooring, which also helps to save money.
Waterproof: Laminate and hardwood floors are not waterproof. Even standard vinyl is only water-resistant, not waterproof. But with WPC vinyl flooring, you’ll get completely waterproof floors that can be installed in areas where these other flooring types should not be used, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. The wood and plastic core also prevent the floors from being warped by moisture and temperature fluctuations. This allows you to keep a stylish and uniform look throughout the home without having to place different flooring types in different rooms based on potential moisture exposure.
Quiet: Compared to traditional vinyl, WPC vinyl flooring has a thicker core that helps to absorb sound. This makes it quiet to walk on and eliminates the “hollow” sound sometimes associated with vinyl floors.
Comfort: The thicker core also creates softer and warmer flooring, which is much more comfortable for residents and guests to walk on.
Durability: WPC vinyl flooring is highly resistant to stains and scratches. It will resist wear and wear, which is great for busy households and families with pets and kids. It is easy to maintain by regularly sweeping or vacuuming and occasionally using a damp mop with a diluted floor cleaner. If a certain spot is seriously damaged, it’s easy to replace a single plank for a budget-friendly repair.
Ease of Installation: Standard vinyl is thin, which leaves any unevenness in the sub-floor exposed. Since WPC flooring has a rigid, thick core, it will hide any imperfections in the sub-floor. This makes it easier to install, since no extensive subfloor preparation is necessary before laying the WPC flooring. It also allows WPC vinyl flooring to be more easily installed in longer and wider areas of the home. Homeowners can also install WPC flooring over many types of existing floors, and it typically doesn’t need to sit in the home for several days to acclimate to moisture and temperature like other flooring types.
Style Options: One of the biggest benefits of choosing any type of vinyl flooring is that there are practically limitless design options. You can buy WPC flooring in just about any color and pattern you like, many of which are such as hardwood and tile.
