What is the Advantage of SPC Flooring?

Many people may know the more common types of flooring materials such as marble flooring, tile flooring, and solid wood flooring, but most people may not know what SPC flooring is. In fact, this kind of flooring was popular in foreign markets a few years ago. But how much do you really know about SPC flooring?

What is SPC flooring?

Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring, also known as SPC flooring, is the most durable waterproof vinyl flooring option on the market. It has a similar structure to WPC, but it comes with an ultra-tough core, which is where the name "Rigid Core" comes from.

So what does SPC stand for? As it turns out, it stands for several terms that are used interchangeably: Stone-Plastic Composite or Stone-Polymer Composite. It refers to the composition of the core. The SPC core makes this flooring very durable and keeps its shape even on uneven subfloors.

This means you can install SPC rigid core luxury vinyl flooring over almost any existing (hard surface) subfloor and any amount of traffic.

What are the advantages of SPC flooring?

1. Material Safety.

SPC is a prepared stone-plastic composite. It is less like composite wood and more like composite stone. The raw material is polyester ester resin, which is often referred to as PPC material. It enhances the performance of PC material. In the die extrusion process to avoid the internal sandwich coating, making it more functional and has a series of characteristics such as non-toxic, no formaldehyde, 0 pollution, material renewable, SPC flooring should later be recycled like plastic, which can reduce the cost of home improvement.

2. Good price

Many people think that green and healthy materials are expensive, in fact, not necessarily, although the material of SPC flooring can do 0 pollution, and waterproof, low temperature resistance is very good, but the price is still quite fair, it is much cheaper than solid wood flooring, but a little more expensive than laminate flooring, but its natural non-polluting characteristics can make up for the shortage, in general, SPC flooring has very good characteristics.

3. Good anti-slip effect

SPC flooring is suitable for most rooms, whether it is a bathroom or a balcony. When it is used as bathroom flooring material. It has 100% waterproof effect. And the anti-slip effect is also good. SPC flooring anti-slip index is not weaker than non-slip flooring, because the surface of the nanofiber material will lead to slippers wet feeling after getting water. This special feature will cause the friction of slippers to rise when wet. If there are elderly people or children at home, it can be recommended.

4. Abrasion and scratch resistance

The service life of the floor often depends on its wear-resistant effect. Many tile flooring surface enamel after a dozen or two decades of use, there will be signs of aging, directly leading to tile internal contamination, not easy to remove. Wooden floors are easily damaged and over time seem to have a porous feel, greatly affecting the visual sense. And it can lead to a significant reduction in the service life of the wood. SPC flooring is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. Because the material itself is a stone plastic composite material, it is very hard. Although the thickness of the board is relatively thin, it does not affect its durability.

However, there is another area where SPC vinyl sheet needs to be improved, and that is the issue of service life. Its service life is basically 15-20 years. It is slightly shorter compared to ordinary flooring. Many people may wonder why such a good flooring can't be the new star of modern industry. I think that when SPC flooring can be recycled and reused independently, then this flooring will surely be the most popular.
