*STC depends on floor/ceiling assembly. Waterproof surface performance does not replace vapor barrier design for below-grade slabs.
How to read the matrix: start with traffic class, then pick wear layer thickness, then confirm core type. Residential wet rooms often land on 12–16 mil WPC with cork underlayment for comfort and impact sound absorption. Multifamily corridors and retail aisles usually step to 20–30 mil SPC for abrasion resistance and dimensional stability under HVAC swings. Stone visual tile formats serve baths and laundry rooms when thin-set schedules are too slow for the turnover calendar.
Industry debate context: natural hardwood remains preferred for some living rooms, yet kitchens, baths, and light commercial entries increasingly specify engineered waterproof vinyl because water absorption risk and mopping cycles punish unfinished wood edges. CoreTec publishes both the upside (sealed cores, click-lock speed) and the limits (not a flood membrane; standing water still requires extraction). That honesty keeps submittals defensible during architect review.
