The planks, not the room
What “Waterproof” Means for a Floor
On a vinyl-based floor, “waterproof” describes the planks themselves. The core and wear layer don’t soak up water, so a spilled glass, a wet dog or a dripping dishwasher won’t make the planks swell or cup the way wood or standard laminate can.
The floor does not seal the room. Water can still get through the seams and around the edges, down to the subfloor. If a pipe leaks or a toilet overflows, the source still has to be fixed and the area dried out, and the planks may need to come up so the subfloor can dry. Wipe up standing water, and in bathrooms and laundry rooms follow the maker’s instructions for the edges around tubs, toilets and walls.
Three cores
SPC, WPC and Vinyl Plank Compared
All three have a printed design layer under a clear wear layer, so they can look like oak, walnut, stone or tile. The difference is in the core.
Rigid core
SPC (stone plastic composite)
SPC has a rigid core made mostly of limestone powder mixed with PVC. It is dense and stable, holds up well to dents from furniture, and is less affected by the temperature swings in sunny rooms. It feels firmer and can sound harder underfoot, so it is usually paired with an attached or recommended underlayment. Most SPC planks click together and float over the subfloor. Shop SPC flooring
Foamed core
WPC (wood plastic composite)
WPC has a thicker, foamed core. It feels softer and warmer and is quieter to walk on, which is why people like it in bedrooms and upstairs rooms. The trade-off is that the softer core can dent more easily under heavy, narrow furniture legs. Shop WPC flooring
The broad family
Vinyl plank (LVP)
Luxury vinyl plank is the broad family that SPC and WPC belong to. Some vinyl planks have a rigid core and click together; thinner, flexible planks are glued down. Glue-down vinyl sits low, which helps where a door or an existing floor leaves little height to work with. Shop vinyl plank flooring

Room by room
Where Waterproof Flooring Works Best
- Kitchens: handles spills, mopping and dropped ice without swelling.
- Bathrooms and laundry rooms: a good fit for wet-area floors when the edges are finished the way the maker specifies.
- Ground floors on concrete slab: common in Southern California homes. The slab is checked for moisture and flatness before the floor goes in.
- Homes with pets and kids: pet accidents and water bowls won’t damage the planks, and a textured surface hides everyday scratches better than a high-gloss one.
- Rentals and busy family rooms: one continuous floor through several rooms, without thresholds where the rooms meet.
Laminate and hardwood
Waterproof vs Water-Resistant: Laminate and Hardwood
Water-resistant floors handle everyday spills if you wipe them up, but they are not designed to sit in water. Many newer laminate floors are water-resistant, with a harder, more scratch-resistant surface than most vinyl. Engineered hardwood gives you real wood, but it still needs spills cleaned up quickly. If the room gets wet regularly, choose SPC, WPC or vinyl plank. For a living room or bedroom where the look matters most, it’s worth comparing all three at the showroom.
Four things to check
Choosing a Plank: Wear Layer, Thickness and Underlayment
Wear layer
the clear top coat, measured in mils. A thicker wear layer generally stands up better to traffic, pets and grit. Check the number listed for each product.
Overall thickness
a thicker plank usually feels more solid and can bridge small dips in the subfloor. Even so, the subfloor still has to be flat within the maker’s limits.
Underlayment
many rigid-core planks come with a pad attached. Adding a second pad can void the maker’s requirements, so we follow each line’s instructions.
Plank size and finish
wide, long planks make a room look larger, and matte or textured finishes hide scuffs better than glossy ones.

Good questions
Waterproof Flooring Questions
Is SPC or WPC better?
Neither is better everywhere. SPC has a denser, rigid core that resists dents and suits kitchens, entries and sunny rooms. WPC has a thicker, foamed core that feels softer and quieter underfoot, so many people prefer it in bedrooms and upstairs. Both planks are waterproof.
Can I put waterproof flooring in a bathroom?
Yes. SPC, WPC and vinyl planks won’t swell from splashes or a wet bath mat. Water can still get through seams and edges, so the perimeter around tubs, toilets and walls is finished the way the maker specifies, and leaks still need to be fixed right away.
Does waterproof flooring protect my subfloor from leaks?
No. The planks are waterproof, but the floor is not a seal. A leak or overflow can reach the subfloor through seams and edges. Fix the source, dry the area, and call us if planks need to be lifted so the subfloor can dry.
Can waterproof flooring go over concrete?
Usually, yes. Floating SPC and WPC are common over concrete slab. The slab has to be flat and checked for moisture first, and we look at both during the in-home estimate.
Can I see the flooring before I buy?
Yes. Call ahead and we’ll check whether we have a matching sample at our Woodland Hills showroom. If you book a new in-home estimate, we bring samples to your home.
Do you offer financing or delivery?
We offer 12 Months Interest Free Financing *On Approved Credit*. Delivery available, charged separately based on job site location and project size.
What is the difference between SPC and LVP?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the general name for vinyl plank flooring. SPC is a type of LVP with a rigid stone-plastic composite core, so it resists dents better than flexible vinyl plank, which feels a little softer underfoot. Compare them side by side at our Woodland Hills showroom.
Is vinyl plank a good floor for homes with pets?
Yes, for most homes. Vinyl plank is waterproof, so spilled water bowls and accidents won’t make it swell, and a rigid SPC core resists dents. No floor is scratch-proof, so a textured or matte surface helps hide everyday wear.
Do you install the vinyl plank you sell?
Yes. As a licensed flooring contractor, we install SPC, WPC and vinyl plank, including removing the old floor and preparing the subfloor. You can also buy material only at our Woodland Hills showroom.
