Let's talk SPC flooring

SPC flooring (Stone Plastic Composite) is a rigid core vinyl flooring made from limestone powder, PVC, and stabilisers.

It’s designed to be extremely stable, durable, and waterproof, making it ideal for modern homes and high-traffic areas.

• Rigid stone-based core
• 100% waterproof
• Highly durable and dent-resistant
• Suitable for residential and commercial use

Yes — SPC flooring is 100% waterproof.

• Resistant to spills, moisture, and humidity
• Safe for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms
• Won’t swell, warp, or expand when exposed to water

This makes SPC one of the most versatile flooring options available.

SPC is a type of LVT, but with a rigid core construction.

• SPC flooring: Rigid, extremely stable, better for uneven subfloors
• Standard LVT: Softer, more flexible, may require more subfloor preparation

SPC is often preferred for durability and ease of installation.

SPC flooring typically ranges from:

• 4–5mm: Slim profile, ideal for renovations
• 5–7mm: Most popular thickness for homes
• Thickness often includes an integrated underlay

Despite being thinner, SPC is extremely strong due to its rigid core.

High-quality SPC flooring can last:

• 20–25 years in residential settings
• 10–15 years in commercial environments

Longevity depends on wear layer thickness, installation quality, and maintenance.

Yes, SPC flooring is compatible with underfloor heating.

• Suitable for both electric and water-based systems
• Surface temperature should not exceed 27°C
• Heats up quickly due to its thin profile

Always follow manufacturer guidelines.

Most SPC flooring comes with a pre-attached underlay.

• Improves comfort and sound reduction
• Helps smooth minor subfloor imperfections
• Additional underlay is usually not required unless specified

Check individual product details before installation.

SPC flooring uses a click-fit floating installation system.

• No glue required
• Suitable for DIY installation
• Can often be installed over existing hard floors

Subfloors should be clean, dry, and level before installation.

Modern SPC flooring features high-definition printed designs and textured surfaces that closely replicate real wood and stone.

While it isn’t real timber, it offers excellent visual realism with superior practicality.
