SPC vs WPC Flooring in Ontario: Which Is Right for Your Project?
If you're shopping for luxury vinyl flooring in Ontario, you’ve likely seen two popular options: SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite).
They may look similar — but the performance differences matter, especially in Canadian homes where moisture, freezing winters, radiant heat systems, and heavy traffic are part of everyday life.
At Kypro, we supply both options directly from our manufacturing partners — helping contractors, builders, and homeowners choose the right solution with confidence.
What Is SPC Flooring?
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) features a dense limestone-based rigid core engineered for maximum stability and strength.
Why Ontario Contractors Choose SPC:
✔ Ultra-rigid core — resists flexing and joint failure
✔ 100% waterproof — ideal for basements and kitchens
✔ Superior dimensional stability in temperature swings
✔ Handles heavy foot traffic with ease
✔ Compatible with radiant in-floor heating
✔ Typically 15–25% more cost-efficient than WPC
Best for: Basements, rental properties, commercial spaces, entryways, kitchens, bathrooms.
What Is WPC Flooring?
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) uses a foamed core structure that delivers enhanced comfort and sound absorption.
Why Homeowners Love WPC:
✔ Softer, warmer feel underfoot
✔ Thicker profile (6–8mm typical)
✔ Better sound reduction for upper floors
✔ 100% waterproof surface
✔ Ideal for residential comfort spaces
Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, second floors, and family spaces.
Built for Ontario’s Climate
Ontario homes face:
• Freeze-thaw cycles
• Subfloor moisture concerns
• Radiant heating systems
• Heavy winter footwear traffic
Both SPC and WPC perform well — but SPC has the edge in extreme stability. Its high-density core expands and contracts less, making it the preferred option for:
• Unheated basements
• In-floor heating systems
• High-moisture environments
