SPC flooring is a composite material known for its rigidity and stability. It is an upgraded version of vinyl flooring that is 100% waterproof, making it perfect for moisture-prone environments. SPC products are commonly referred to as enhanced vinyl plank or SPC vinyl flooring. There is little doubt that Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring is emerging as one of the most popular flooring categories today. But what is SPC vinyl flooring and what is the reason behind that popularity? Here are a few answers to some key questions.
The Biggest advantage of SPC vinyl flooring is that it’s water resistant and appropriate for areas where laminate shouldn’t be used. In addition, the wear layer of SPC vinyl flooring offers more cushion and absorbs sound to make a quieter floor.
The biggest difference between SPC and LVT is that SPC is water resistant and damp proof. It can also be laid over most subfloors with little preparation. Unlike traditional vinyl floors that will highlight any unevenness present in the subfloor, the rigid core of SPC vinyl flooring allows for longer and wider format options so you don’t have to worry when installing over cracked or divots in the subfloor.
