How to choose between SPC flooring and laminate wood flooring

The core difference between these two types of flooring lies in their 'core material', which directly determines their water resistance and environmental logic. • SPC Flooring: Made by pressing stone powder and resin, it is completely waterproof, has almost no formaldehyde, and has a relatively hard feel underfoot. • Laminate Flooring: Made by crushing wood and pressing it with adhesive, it is afraid of water damage, its environmental friendliness depends on the adhesive used, and it has a relatively softer feel underfoot.
Core Difference Comparison • Water Resistance: SPC is 'fish pond level' waterproof, suitable for kitchens and bathrooms; laminate flooring can only withstand daily wiping and严禁泡水. • Environmental Properties: SPC contains almost no formaldehyde as it has no wood; laminate flooring contains adhesive and must be certified with high-standard environmental certifications such as ENF/E0. • Foot Feel and Price: Laminate flooring has a foot feel more like wood and is lower in price at the same档次; SPC has a harder foot feel but a longer lifespan.
Close your eyes and choose SPC flooring: If you live in a humid southern region, on the first floor or in a basement, have children, pets, or need to mop frequently, SPC flooring is far more hassle-free than laminate flooring. • Optional laminate flooring: If your budget is tight and you only plan to use it in dry areas like bedrooms or studies, and you're seeking high cost-effectiveness and a relatively natural foot feel, a high environmental grade laminate flooring from a major brand will suffice.
