WPC is short for wood plastic composite or wood polymer composite. It is a form of vinyl that combines real wood fibers and plastic in order to create a flooring material that is dimensionally stable, resilient, and waterproof. WPC was introduced to the flooring industry only a few years back when manufacturers unveiled it at a major flooring conference. Since then, WPC has become a rising star in the flooring industry, and is winning over many homeowners who plan to install new floors.
