The NEW "IN" THING! SPC FLOORING

What Is SPC Flooring?
SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite. It’s a type of vinyl flooring that combines durability with style. Here’s how it works:

1. Core Layer: The heart of SPC flooring is its dense and strong core. This core is made by blending limestone (a tougher version of chalk), PVC, and stabilizers. It’s designed to handle everyday wear and tear.
2. Layer Structure:
   • Wear Layer: The top transparent layer protects the printed design and resists scratches and scuffs.
   • Design Layer: High-definition printing creates realistic wood or stone looks.
   • SPC Core: This limestone-based mixture provides rigidity and stability.
   • Optional Underlayment: Some brands include an attached backing layer for added comfort, sound reduction, and to smooth out subfloor imperfections.
3. Difference from LVP and WPC:
   • LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank): Usually has a purely vinyl core.
   • WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): Has a wood-based core (still tough but softer than SPC).
   • SPC: Ideal for resisting dents, handling temperature swings, and shrugging off water.

Advantages of SPC Flooring:

1. Long-Lasting Durability:
   • Designed to handle heavy foot traffic, dropped dishes, and roughhousing without showing much wear and tear.
   • Potential lifespan of 20-30 years or longer.
2. Complete Waterproofing:
   • Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and areas prone to spills and moisture.
   • No concerns about warping or water damage, even in humid climates.
3. Low-Maintenance and Easy to Clean:
   • Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping keep SPC looking sharp.

In summary, SPC flooring is a robust and reliable choice that combines aesthetics with practicality. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, consider SPC for a flooring solution that stands the test of time.
