Moving from there, you can make sure your décor matches perfectly, so don’t delay.

In the world of vinyl flooring, acronyms are abundant. For instance, you’ll hear a great deal about stone plastic composite (SPC), which is made of stone and plastic products, as well as wood-plastic composite (WPC), which is constructed of wood byproducts and plastic composites. Both SPC and WPC are waterproof, but you’ll find SPC to be sturdier and less bendable.

Wear layer thickness is one of the most critical aspects of your vinyl flooring. These range from 6mm to 20mm, and, on the higher end of the scale, they can easily handle commercial level traffic and wear. If you have a bustling household, it's safer to choose a wear layer thickness that will give you more protection.

Of the many advantages that vinyl flooring offers, scratch resistance is one of the most highly sought after. It’s an excellent option for homes with pets, children, or lots of traffic. Thicker wear layers even protect high heels while still offering a comfortable resilience, especially in places where you’ll stand for long periods.
