WPC Vinyl Plank Installation Guide: Seamless and Stylish Flooring Composite

The Rise of WPC Vinyl Plank Flooring

Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) vinyl plank flooring has become one of the most popular choices for both residential and commercial interiors. It combines the natural warmth of wood elegance with the strength and water resistance of modern composites. Known for its comfort, durability, and ease of installation, WPC flooring is ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance yet visually rich flooring system. This blog walks you through the key steps, best practices, and product considerations when installing Jordsk™’s WPC vinyl planks for seamless and long-lasting results.

Why Choose WPC Vinyl Plank Flooring

WPC vinyl plank is engineered with a multi-layer construction that includes a rigid core made of wood fiber and plastic composite, a decorative printed layer, and a wear-resistant surface coating. This structure results in flooring composite products that are:

  • Water resistant and suitable for wet zones
  • More forgiving of subfloor imperfections than rigid stone-core planks
  • Softer underfoot, offering better comfort and sound insulation
  • DIY-friendly with click-lock installation systems
  • Elegantly flexible with options mimicking wood, stone, and natural textures

With models like Jordsk™’s WPC K140-25A, these benefits are improved by a range of design options that can coordinate across entire homes, offices, and even indoor-outdoor transitions.

Preparing for Installation

Before installing Jordsk™’s WPC flooring, proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth, long-lasting result. Here’s what to consider before you begin.

Subfloor Conditions

Before installing WPC flooring, ensure that the subfloor is:

  • Clean, dry, and free of debris

  • Structurally sound and level (no more than 3mm height variation over 2 meters)

  • Covered with a moisture barrier if installing over concrete

One of the key advantages of WPC plank is its ability to mask minor imperfections in the subfloor, making it easier to install in older buildings or on uneven surfaces.

Acclimatization

Let the planks acclimate for at least 24–48 hours in the installation environment. This allows the material to adjust to room temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of expansion or contraction post-installation.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Follow this guide to install Jordsk™’s WPC flooring efficiently and accurately—ensuring a secure and polished finish.

Plan Your Layout

  • Start from the longest wall or the most visible side of the room.

  • Dry-lay a few planks to see how the layout will look, especially around corners or obstacles.

  • Consider staggering joints for a more natural appearance.

Install the First Row

  • Place the first plank with the tongue side facing the wall.

  • Use spacers to maintain a 6–10mm expansion gap between the plank and the wall.

  • Connect the next plank by angling and clicking the short ends together.

Continue Across the Room

  • Stagger the planks by at least 20–30cm to ensure stability.

  • Tap gently with a rubber mallet and tapping block for a snug fit.

  • Cut planks as needed using a fine-toothed saw or utility knife.

Finish with Trim and Transitions

  • Install floor cladding, skirting, or transition profiles to cover expansion gaps.

  • Avoid gluing or nailing the planks directly to the subfloor—these products are designed to float.

  • In wet zones, consider sealing perimeter joints with waterproof silicone.

Where to Use Jordsk™ WPC Flooring

Jordsk™’s WPC vinyl plank is a versatile choice for a range of indoor environments. In living rooms and bedrooms, it provides a comfortable and quiet surface underfoot. In dry kitchens and dining areas, its water resistant properties make it ideal for handling everyday spills. Hallways and entryways benefit from its durability, standing up to regular foot traffic and the movement of furniture. For home offices, the flooring is easy to maintain and made with low VOC materials, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

When paired with complementary materials such as marble wall tiles or SPC plank in high-moisture areas, WPC vinyl plank can contribute to a unified, functional design across a project.

Maintenance After Installation

WPC flooring is one of the easiest flooring options to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional mopping using a damp microfiber mop, will keep the surface clean. Avoid abrasive tools or high-pH cleaners that can degrade the wear layer.

Its resistance to scratches, fading, and water damage makes it a preferred option for homeowners looking to reduce long-term upkeep without compromising on appearance.
