How To Choose the Right RPC Floor

 

When selecting your RPC vinyl flooring, consider:

  • Your lighting – cooler-toned woods brighten darker spaces

  • Foot traffic – all Ellenwood styles are dent-resistant, but some shades hide wear better

  • Your subfloor – these planks work over most subfloors without additional prep

  • Design goals – do you want rustic, modern, or classic?

Debunking Common Myths

 

Myth 1: RPC is the same as SPC or WPC.
Not quite. RPC is made from recycled PET plastic, giving it better eco-performance and resistance to denting. It’s lighter than stone core floors but still rigid and reliable.

Myth 2: All waterproof floors are the same.
Many “waterproof” floors fail under long-term exposure. Mohawk PureTech is built with waterproof cores and tightly locking joints, making it safe for wet areas.

Myth 3: Vinyl isn’t environmentally friendly.
This isn’t your average vinyl. With over 70% recycled content and GreenGuard certification, PureTech is a better choice for air quality and sustainability.
