WPC Vinyl Flooring — Wood-Polymer Composite Across Canada

WPC vinyl flooring (Wood Polymer Composite) is the softer, warmer underfoot alternative to SPC. The foamed wood-polymer core has genuine give and reads warmer to bare feet than a rigid stone-polymer core, while delivering the same 100% waterproof construction. For bedrooms, living rooms, and spaces where comfort underfoot matters as much as durability, WPC is the smart choice.

Why WPC vinyl

  • Softer underfoot than SPC — The foamed wood-polymer core has measurable give. Bedrooms, living rooms and media rooms feel more comfortable.
  • Warmer underfoot than SPC — Air pockets mean lower thermal conductivity than dense SPC. Particularly noticeable on bare feet on a cold slab.
  • 100% waterproof — Same waterproof rating as SPC. Install in bathrooms, kitchens and basements without restriction.
  • Bridges minor subfloor imperfections — A 7–15 mm plank with a 1.5–3 mm attached pad rides over undulation that a thin rigid plank would telegraph.
  • Thicker attached acoustic pads as standard — Usually clears strata IIC requirements without a separate underlay; ratings in our range reach IIC 73.
  • Click-lock DIY install — Most rooms install in a weekend, and a foamed core is lighter to carry than SPC.

WPC vs SPC — solved

  • "Which is more durable?" SPC handles concentrated point loads better (refrigerators, pianos, narrow chair legs). WPC is more forgiving underfoot and over imperfect subfloors. The wear layer — not the core — governs scratch resistance on both.
  • "Best for bedrooms?" WPC — softer, warmer, more comfortable for bare feet.
  • "Best for kitchens?" SPC — higher dent resistance for stools, dropped pans and rolled-in appliances.
  • "Best for basements?" Either — both 100% waterproof. WPC feels warmer on a cold slab; SPC is more stable in a cool or seasonal basement.
  • "Is WPC actually quieter?" Only marginally, and mostly on impact sound. The attached pad drives IIC and STC far more than the core — specify to the published number on the product.
  • "What will it cost?" $4–$8 per sq ft material, plus $2.50 per sq ft for click-lock installation — roughly $6.50–$10.50 supplied and installed.

Frequently asked questions

Wood Polymer Composite — a foamed vinyl core with wood-flour content. Softer and warmer underfoot than rigid SPC.

Is WPC vinyl waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof core. Same waterproofing as SPC, just with a softer feel.

How thick is WPC?
Our range runs 7 mm to 15 mm total build, against 4–6.5 mm for SPC. Check your door clearances and thresholds before specifying a thick WPC.

How much does WPC vinyl cost?
$4–$8 CAD per sq ft for material. Click-lock installation is $2.50 per sq ft in our market, so a supplied-and-installed WPC floor runs roughly $6.50–$10.50 per sq ft. Levelling, moisture mitigation and demolition are quoted separately.

Will WPC dent under heavy furniture?
More than SPC. Use wide furniture coasters and felt pads under heavy point loads (refrigerators, pianos, pool tables).
