The quality of WPC flooring can be identified from the following aspects:
Odor identification: High-quality WPC flooring should have no pungent odor. If there is a pungent odor, it means that the raw materials used in production are of poor quality, which may affect environmental protection and safety.
Toughness identification: High-quality WPC flooring should have a certain toughness, be able to bend and return to its original shape, and will not produce white marks. Thinner WPC flooring has a larger bending degree, and the better the quality, the greater the toughness.
Price identification: WPC flooring with too low a price may use inferior materials and have a short service life. It is recommended to choose moderately priced products to ensure quality.
Weight identification: High-quality WPC flooring is usually heavier. If the flooring is too light, it may be mixed with other low-cost materials.
Surface quality: The side of high-quality WPC flooring is smooth, glossy, and has no fine cracks; while the surface of inferior flooring is not smooth and has poor gloss.
Differences between WPC flooring and SPC flooring and their respective advantages and disadvantages:
Raw material differences: WPC uses wood powder, plant fiber and PVC materials, while SPC uses calcium carbonate powder and polymer resin. WPC has a higher polymer resin ratio, resulting in price differences.
Thickness differences: WPC floors are usually thicker (8mm to 14mm), with better foot feel and comfort; SPC floors are thinner (4mm to 8mm), with better waterproof and moisture-proof effects, but have higher requirements for ground flatness.
Comfort: WPC floors are more comfortable to stand on for a long time due to their soft and elastic core structure; SPC floors are harder, but their durability and high-density structure make them have a higher market share.
