We can see that LVT have good flexibility. As the products with the same formula, the flexibility in winter is worse than that in summer. And SPC floor: Hardness performance good. As the products with the same formula, the hardness in winter is the same as that in summer.
All of these 3 kinds of product are easy to install with click system.But the click strength is different, you can see the picture below:
The scratch resistance is also different:
During installation, LVT cannot be easily slide in both long and short side.In order to slide easily, WPC and laminate floor are waxed in the groove but such method is not used in LVT. However, SPC floor can easily slide without was in the groove.
These above are the product performance comparison of SPC floor, WPC and LVT, just according to our experience. If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact with us at info@xinflooring.com ( 7*24 hours online).
