- Is this flooring actually waterproof?
- Yes. The WPC core is waterproof, so standing water and spills won't swell the planks the way laminate or hardwood would. Wipe up standing water anyway, and seal the perimeter in wet rooms.
- Can I install it over existing tile or concrete?
- It floats over most hard, flat surfaces, including tile, vinyl and cured concrete, with the attached pad acting as the underlayment. The subfloor must be flat and free of debris, and you need a moisture barrier over concrete slabs on grade.
- How does WPC compare with SPC vinyl plank?
- WPC has a slightly softer, warmer feel and the attached pad helps with sound. SPC is denser and more dimensionally stable in direct sun and temperature swings. Both are waterproof; WPC suits comfort, SPC suits harsh conditions.
- Do I need a separate underlayment?
- No. The pad is already attached, so you lay the planks directly on the prepared subfloor. Skip extra foam underlayment, which can make the click joints flex.
- What is in the box?
- The planks come with the pad attached. Check the carton for the square-footage coverage per box and add about 10 percent for cuts and waste.
- Will it work with radiant floor heat?
- WPC vinyl generally tolerates radiant heat within the manufacturer's temperature limits. Confirm the limit for this product before installing over in-floor heating.
