SPC FAQ
Q1: What is SPC flooring, and how is it different from regular vinyl?
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring has a rigid, limestone-based core that makes it more durable, waterproof, and stable than traditional vinyl. It doesn’t flex, swell, or dent like LVT or PVC.
Q2: Is SPC flooring really waterproof?
Yes. SPC is 100% waterproof. Its dense core and sealed surface make it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and even basements.
Q3: Is SPC flooring good for homes with pets or kids?
Absolutely. It’s scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and highly durable. SPC stands up to claws, spills, and toys better than laminate or soft vinyl.
Q4: Can I install SPC floors myself?
Yes. Most SPC flooring features a click-lock system that’s easy to install without glue or nails. You can float it over most existing floors.
Q5: How does SPC feel underfoot compared to tile?
SPC is firmer than wood but softer and warmer than ceramic tile. It reduces noise and feels more comfortable underfoot — ideal for bedrooms or upstairs units.
Q6: Will the pattern repeat or look fake across a large room?
No. SPC flooring uses multi-face printing with up to 10–12 plank variations per style, reducing repetition and giving a natural, real-wood look.
Q7: How long does SPC flooring last?
With proper installation and care, SPC flooring lasts over 20 years. It doesn’t fade, dent, or deform like many cheaper materials.
Q8: Is SPC worth the cost compared to cheaper vinyl?
Yes, especially if you want long-term performance. SPC is stronger, more waterproof, and lower maintenance than flexible vinyl — saving you time and money on repairs.
