What is SPC Floor?

The full name of SPC floor is Stone Plastic Composite, also known as rigid core vinyl floor. The main raw materials are PVC and stone powder, and it has a 5-layer structure. It is a new type of environmentally friendly floor. 

The raw materials of SPC flooring do not contain harmful substances such as heavy metals and methanol. The production is completed by squeezing heat and does not contain glue. SPC flooring has a variety of surface patterns and can also be customized. Its installation method is locking, which assembles the floor into a whole. 

SPC flooring has advantages such as waterproofing, moisture resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance, sound insulation, no cracking or deformation, and easy installation. SPC flooring can be used for different years based on its wear-resistant layer thickness, and can generally last for 5-25 years. So it is suitable for places such as homes, hotels, hospitals, and shopping malls.

Most SPC flooring is built like a sandwich, with several layers working together:

• Wear layer: This tough, transparent top layer protects the printed design and resists scratches and scuffs.
• Design layer: This is where they achieve those realistic wood or stone looks using high-definition printing.
• SPC core: The powerhouse of a layer we talked about, made from a limestone-based mixture. This is what gives SPC its rigidity and stability.
• Underlayment (optional): Some brands come with an attached backing layer for added comfort, sound reduction, and to smooth out slight imperfections in your subfloor.

Advantages of SPC Flooring

Apart from its robust and waterproof properties, SPC flooring offers a range of other advantages. One significant benefit is its easy installation process. Thanks to its click-lock design, SPC flooring can be installed over existing flooring, significantly reducing installation time.

The SPC rigid core also provides superior stability and prevents peeling or cracking, making it a low-maintenance option for busy households. Furthermore, its insulation properties contribute to energy efficiency, a growing concern for many modern homeowners. Another advantage worth mentioning is SPC flooring’s hypoallergenic properties. SPC does not harbour dust and allergens, making it a great option for households with allergy sufferers.

Disadvantages of spc flooring:

1. Thinner materials don’t provide as much cushioning underfoot compared to hardwood or laminate.

2. Need to be applied to a flat floor. The thicker the plank, the more forgiving it is on uneven surfaces.

3. Cannot be installed in outdoor spaces.

4. Not Fade Resistant – If you put your SPC in a place with plenty of natural light, it will fade over time. We do not recommend using it for solariums.

Application of spc flooring:

SPC is an extremely cost-effective flooring option Suitable for basements, secondary holiday homes or rental homes due to its waterproof properties, also great for normal wear and tear residential main floors in kitchens, living spaces or bathrooms.

Selection of spc flooring:

The thicker the plank, the more stable and comfortable it is to walk. With that comes a price increase, but so does the warranty. As thickness increases, it becomes more forgiving when installed on slightly uneven surfaces, we always recommend placing the SPC on a surface that is as flat and free of debris as possible.

FAQ of SPC flooring

It depends. In terms of durability, SPC flooring is much more durable than ordinary LVP. However, that extra durability does come at the price of reduced comfort. 

WPC vs SPC vs LVT Flooring

The main difference between the three is their core component/structure. LVT flooring is flexible while SPC vinyl flooring has a rigid core. WPC and SPC tend to be more durable in the long run. 

How Is SPC Flooring Made

Materials for the Stone Plastic Composite rigid core flooring are mixed together then super-heated to A) eliminate any moisture in the mix, and B) ensure the stone powder and polymers are properly combined. This ensures even performance across the entirety of each plank or tile. 

The design layer is applied (this can happen a number of ways) and then each plank or tile is cut to size and boxed up for shipping.

A: SPC flooring is interior decorative material, can not be allpied for exterior use.  

How Long Can SPC Flooring Last

With proper care and maintenance, SPC flooring can last anywhere from 20 to 25 years, a testament to its durability. To prolong its lifespan, regular cleaning with a damp mop and mild detergent is recommended. Of course, this lifespan can be significantly affected by factors such as the quality of installation, the level of traffic the flooring endures and of course, the quality of the floor to begin with.
