The Future Of Flooring

Multilayer flooring has seen tremendous growth in recent years, and with that has come remarkable product innovation. But with growth and innovation can sometimes come confusion. 

The base definition of multilayer flooring is right in its name. It is flooring that is contructed in layers, with each layer serving a specific function, whether it's protecting the surface, creating the appearance, providing stability and so on. In recent years, the term multilayer flooring has been associated mainly with resilient flooring products that have a rigid core.

The growing popularity of these products, specifically WPC flooring and SPC flooring, is no doubt thanks to their performance benefits. WPC flooring and SPC flooring are both waterproof, rigid and provide faster installation- the main difference is that WPC flooring has a foamed core which makes it thicker and lighter, but also more susceptible to indentation. SPC flooring's denser core provides enhanced indent resistance in a slimmer profile. These products are certainly filling a consumer need, with ease of installation, waterproof features and advances in design.

Multilayer flooring offers over other luxury vinyl tile options. Multilayer flooring products with attached acoustic backings have higher acoustic perperties when compared with other types of resilient flooring. In addition, the products have gotten better since they were first introducted in the market.
