Is it possible to lay new flooring on top of my current one?
Considering installing new flooring over your existing one? It’s a feasible option in many cases, contingent upon factors such as the current flooring type and condition, as well as the compatibility with the new flooring choice. Assessing the height transition between rooms, the state of the existing floor, and the compatibility of materials is crucial. While overlaying thin vinyl or laminate onto a stable surface like hardwood is often straightforward, installing ceramic tile or hardwood over existing flooring may necessitate additional preparation. To ensure a seamless and safe installation tailored to your specific situation, it’s advisable to seek guidance from a professional flooring expert. Click here to explore your options further.
What distinguishes SPC from WPC in vinyl plank or vinyl tile flooring?
Distinguishing between SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) vinyl plank or tile flooring lies primarily in their core composition. SPC flooring integrates limestone and stabilizers to forge an exceptionally robust core, rendering it rigid and resistant to temperature fluctuations and impacts. This durability makes SPC flooring an optimal choice for high-traffic areas or spaces with heavy furniture.
In contrast, WPC flooring blends wood (or another natural fiber) with plastic, offering a slightly softer and more cushioned underfoot sensation. Renowned for their superb insulation and sound-dampening properties, WPC floors create quieter, cozier environments, making them an ideal selection for various settings.
Understanding these core differences empowers you to make an informed choice tailored to your specific flooring needs and preferences.
