Kitchen Flooring Trends for 2020

Wood continues to be a top trend homeowners and homebuyers look for the kitchen. Thanks to technology, homeowners can get the look of wood without the fear of scratching, water damage and UV wear through WPC.

WPC flooring stands for Wood Plastic Composite or Waterproof Core . These 100% waterproof engineered luxury vinyl planks (LVP) and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) feature an effortless interlocking system that can be installed over most existing subfloors including tile.

WPC vinyl flooring is extraordinarily durable and known for its gorgeous, realistic aesthetic. Using advanced technologies, manufacturers are able to beautifully mimic the look of natural wood and stone.

WPC vinyl plank flooring and WPC vinyl tile flooring are best known for being 100% waterproof. It is luxury vinyl flooring amped up a notch with a special waterproof core that makes it perfect for just about any room in the house. No more worries of spills or splashes.

WPC is the best of the best in the vinyl flooring world and hugely popular amongst homeowners looking for the look of traditional hardwood without the maintenance. Pause for a round of applause.

WPC waterproof flooring is typically comprised of 4 layers.*

*Can vary between manufacturers.

Backing Layer
This is the backbone of your plank.

WPC Core
This is the main attraction! WPC flooring contains a solid, waterproof WPC core. It won’t ripple, swell or peel no matter much liquid you subject it to.

Printed Vinyl Layer
This is where you get your gorgeous photo imagery that makes the vinyl look (nearly) identical to natural materials like wood and stone. Often, this is the highest quality vinyl on the market – meaning, you get the most realistic looks that people will swear are real wood/stone!

Wear Layer
Just like with traditional vinyl, the wear layer is like your bodyguard; it helps protect your floor from dents, scratches, etc. The thicker the wear layer, the buffer your bodyguard.

WPC indoor flooring is known for having a buff, beefy wear layer offering more protection. When you look at vinyl flooring, it’s just as (if not more) important to look at wear layer thickness as plank thickness.

WPC vinyl planks usually resemble an upscale laminate floor, giving a modern, convincing wood look. Basically, WPC vinyl is the best of all worlds for your kitchen floor.
