WHY LUXURY VINYL PLANK?
Why Luxury Vinyl Plank?

UNDERSTANDING VINYL PLANK
WPC or SPC? Understanding the Difference
Neither construction “wins” — the right choice depends on your rooms, priorities and the specific product. Here’s how they differ.
WPC
Softer + More Comfortable
WPC uses a thicker, less dense composite core that generally provides a slightly softer, warmer and quieter feel underfoot.
Often a good fit for:
- Bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Family areas
- Customers prioritizing comfort
SPC
Dense + Highly Stable
SPC uses a dense mineral-based rigid core designed for excellent dimensional stability and resistance to everyday dents and impacts through normal household temperature changes. Proper acclimation, expansion space and manufacturer installation requirements should always be followed.
Often a good fit for:
- Kitchens and entryways
- High-traffic rooms
- Commercial applications
- Areas with stronger temperature variation, where permitted by the manufacturer
What they have in common — depending on the specific product: waterproof plank construction, realistic wood or stone visuals, durable wear layers, click-lock options and easy maintenance.
KEY BENEFITS
Why Homeowners Choose Luxury Vinyl Plank
Six reasons vinyl plank keeps ending up in Okanagan kitchens, basements and family rooms.
Waterproof Performance
Many luxury vinyl plank products use waterproof plank construction, making them an excellent option for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements.
Durable
Quality wear layers help resist scratching, scuffing and everyday household wear.
Stable Rigid Core
SPC products use a dense rigid core designed for excellent dimensional stability.
Comfortable Options
WPC products and products with attached acoustic underlay can provide additional comfort and sound reduction.
Easy Maintenance
Routine sweeping or vacuuming and manufacturer-approved damp cleaning are generally all that is required.
Realistic Design
Modern printing, embossing and matte finishes recreate natural wood grain, colour variation and texture.
Low-VOC options: many premium vinyl flooring collections carry indoor-air-quality certifications such as FloorScore. Check individual product specifications or ask our team for certification details.
REALISTIC WOOD VISUALS
The Look of Hardwood. Designed for Real Life.
Modern luxury vinyl plank reproduces natural oak, walnut and hickory character — wide and long plank visuals, wire-brushed textures, knots, natural variation and matte finishes.

Click or Glue-Down Vinyl Plank?
Sierra carries both — and neither is universally better. The right method depends on the space, the substrate and how the floor will be used.
CLICK VINYL PLANK
Installed as a floating floor and popular in residential applications.
- Faster installation
- No adhesive across the entire floor
- Rigid-core construction options
- Attached pad available on some products
GLUE-DOWN VINYL
Adhered directly to a properly prepared substrate.
- Excellent for larger areas
- Lower profile
- Commercial applications
- Easy individual plank replacement in many installations
- Excellent rolling-load performance with the appropriate product and adhesive

Luxury Vinyl Plank FAQs
Many vinyl plank products themselves are waterproof, but specifications vary by collection — and a waterproof plank does not make the complete room or subfloor waterproof. Check the individual product specifications or ask our team.
SPC uses a dense mineral-based rigid core prized for dimensional stability and dent resistance; WPC uses a thicker, less dense core that feels slightly softer, warmer and quieter underfoot. The comparison above covers where each tends to fit best.
Yes — water-resistant construction and easy cleanup make it one of the most popular kitchen floors. As always, follow the specific product and manufacturer requirements for the space.
Many products are suitable for basements, but substrate moisture and floor preparation need to be evaluated first. Our team can help confirm suitability for your space.
Water resistance, easy maintenance and durable wear layers make vinyl plank a strong choice for households with pets. No floor is scratch-proof, but quality wear layers are designed to resist everyday claw traffic.
Lifespan depends on product quality, wear layer, installation, traffic and maintenance. A well-chosen, properly installed plank in a typical home can perform well for many years — our team can help match wear layer to your space.
Both are excellent. Laminate often excels in scratch resistance and wood realism, while vinyl plank excels in moisture resistance and application versatility. The right choice depends on the room and household — comparing both in the showroom makes the decision much easier.
Thicker wear layers generally offer more protection for busy or commercial spaces, while lighter-use rooms may not need the heaviest option. There is no single correct thickness — our team can recommend a wear layer based on how the room is used.
