When it comes to modern flooring solutions that combine durability with style, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is quickly making a name for itself.
Often marketed as the next big leap beyond luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, SPC flooring stands out thanks to its extra-tough core, built for everyday life. This stronger core is what makes SPC an upgraded version of LVP. It’s designed to handle the scratches, dents, and spills that can happen in busy homes and businesses.
Let’s explore SPC flooring and see if this upgraded solution might be the ideal fit for your home or business.
What is SPC Flooring?
“SPC” is a special type of vinyl, and it stands for Stone Plastic Composite. That essentially means we take limestone, mix it with PVC and stabilizers, and create an insanely dense and strong core for the flooring. That might not sound fancy, but this core is the heart of SPC’s appeal.
Most SPC flooring is built like a sandwich, with several layers working together:
Surface treatment:
By applying a UV coating to the floor surface, we can greatly improve its gloss, wear resistance, scratch resistance, antibacterial properties, and resistance to yellowing, thus prolonging its service life and enhancing its appearance.
Wear layer:
This tough, transparent top layer protects the color design and resists scratches and scuffs.
Design layer:
This is where we achieve those realistic wood or stone looks by laminating core layer and color film through hot pressing.
SPC core layer:
Made from a limestone-based mixture. This is what gives SPC its rigidity and stability.
Underlayment (optional):
With an attached backing layer for added comfort, sound reduction, and to smooth out slight imperfections in your subfloor.
You also might have heard about WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) or traditional LVP. The key difference is the core. WPC has a wood-based core (still tough but softer than SPC), and LVP usually has a purely vinyl core. This makes SPC your go-to when it comes to resisting dents, handling temperature swings, and shrugging off water.
