Comprehensive Comparison and Buying Guide for PVC, LVT, SPC, and WPC Flooring

Flooring Categories and Evolution

PVC Flooring

Definition: A broad category of plastic flooring, with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as its primary component.
Subcategories: LVT, SPC, and WPC are specialized derivatives of PVC, enhanced with different materials for upgraded performance.

Product Generations

LVT (First Generation): Early PVC flooring, known for its high flexibility.
WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite Flooring): Incorporates wood flour for improved outdoor durability.
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite Flooring): Contains a high proportion of calcium carbonate powder, resulting in increased hardness.

Table 1: Core Difference Comparison
Dimensions	PVC	LVT	WPC	SPC
Primary Material	Polyvinyl chloride	PVC plus a small amount of calcium carbonate powder	PVC with wood powder	PVC with 75% calcium carbonate powder
Hardness	Soft	Semi-rigid	Semi-rigid	Rigid
Thickness	Approximately 2 mm	≤ 5 mm	≥ 8 mm	4–7 mm
Applications	Homes, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, factories, offices, and other environments	Schools, kindergartens, playrooms, offices, and similar locations	Primarily used outdoors, with limited indoor applications	Homes, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and similar venues
Installation Method	Adhesive	Adhesive or click-lock	Requires batten installation	Click-lock (DIY friendly)

Prioritize Your Needs

Durability: SPC > WPC > LVT > PVC (Ranked by hardness and impact resistance).
Comfort: LVT > PVC > SPC > WPC (Ranked by softness underfoot).
Ease of Installation: SPC locking design > LVT > PVC > WPC (outdoor WPC requires professional installation).

Scenario-Based Recommendations

Living Room/Bedroom: SPC (scratch-resistant, easy to clean) or LVT (comfortable underfoot).
Commercial Spaces: SPC (high-traffic areas) or PVC (budget-friendly).
Outdoor/Balcony: WPC only (weather/water-resistant).

Avoid Pitfalls

Some sellers misleadingly label both LVT and SPC as "stone-plastic flooring" – always verify materials.
For indoor WPC, choose low-formaldehyde versions to meet eco-standards.
Request samples to test texture and scratch resistance before purchasing.
