The differences between WPC sheets and SPC sheets

1. Structure is different

The structures of the two are quite different. The internal structure of SPC sheet appears to be integrated, although in fact it is composed of several layers, but because the materials are the same, it seems to have only one layer to the naked eye. While WPC sheet has obvious structural layers, and even there is a black layer in the middle, this layer uses LVT material, which can give the sheet better anti-deformation ability.

2. Weight and texture are different

There is a significant difference in weight between the two. Because SPC sheet is composed of natural stone powder, PVC, etc., and the stone powder content can reach 75%, so SPC sheet is usually heavier and also harder and more wear-resistant. While WPC sheet adds resin powder, wood powder, and various plant fiber powders, the unit weight is much less than that of SPC sheet. In terms of transportation cost, WPC sheet will be lower, and the texture of WPC sheet is closer to pure wood sheet, with good toughness and shock absorption effect.

3. Thickness is different

The thickness of SPC sheet is generally controlled within 3-5mm. If it is thicker, the processing difficulty will be higher. While WPC sheet is usually thicker, generally around 6mm, and there are also many over 8mm.

4. Color is different

The colors of the two are different, and there are differences in both the appearance color and the internal color. In terms of appearance, the surface of SPC sheet is the color film of the reinforced sheet itself, and there will be no significant color difference, while the surface of WPC is using high-end color film, with the effect of real wood sheet, so there is a certain color difference situation.

5. Origin is different

This can be seen from the name itself. The first letter indicates the material origin. The first letter of WPC sheet is W, representing wood, which is also wood-plastic sheet. While the first letter of SPC sheet is S, representing stone, which is stone-plastic sheet.

6. Price is different

From the market prices, wood-plastic flooring is cheaper, while stone-plastic flooring is more expensive. When choosing, you can purchase according to your economic situation. 7.Characteristics and applications are different

WPC sheets are soft, comfortable, water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, and recyclable. They are generally used in building materials, furniture, logistics packaging, etc. While SPC sheets are hard, wear-resistant, have stronger fire resistance, adopt lock design for easy installation, and are mainly used for flooring, suitable for family, commercial spaces, etc.
