Flooring guides

Plain explanations of the choices that matter most when you want a healthier floor.

WPC vs SPC vs PVC-free flooring: what is actually different
All three are sold as "waterproof flooring," and all three click together the same way. The difference is the core, and the core decides comfort, noise, dent resistance and chemistry.
Flooring certifications explained: what each label actually tests
Labels are the best tool for comparing floors, but only if you know what each one covers. Some test indoor emissions, some disclose ingredients, and some cover forestry. None of them means "eco-friendly" on its own.
