FAQ for SPC and Vinyl Flooring

Welcome to our FAQ section! Here, we answer the most common questions about SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and vinyl flooring to help you make an informed decision for your flooring needs.

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is a type of rigid core vinyl flooring made of a stone-plastic composite core. It combines limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride, and stabilizers to create a highly durable and waterproof flooring solution that is ideal for both residential and commercial use.

SPC is generally thicker and more robust, making it better suited for heavy traffic and uneven subfloors.

SPC flooring is typically installed using a click-lock system, making it a popular choice for DIY installations. Simply interlock the planks over a clean, flat subfloor. No glue or nails are needed.

SPC, on the other hand, has a denser, more rigid stone-plastic core that provides better durability and water resistance.
