Stone Plastic Composite Flooring (SPC)
SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite, a limestone core combined with PVC dust and a stabilizer. As a result, it’s denser due to the core being 60-70% limestone with a 30% PVC core fused together. Known for being 100% waterproof with unparalleled durability, these engineered luxury vinyl planks use advanced technologies to beautifully mimic natural wood and stone at a lower price point. SPC’s signature rigid core is virtually indestructible, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic and commercial environments.It is available in 3.5mm thickness. While SPC floors are denser and resistant to major impacts, both flooring types are resistant to scratches and stains. They hold up well to wear and tear even in high-traffic areas of the home. The humidity of a room can vary due to differences between the seasons. Therefore your SPC floor must be able to expand and contract in all directions (per 3.28 ft.), so the greater the surface area, the greater the room for expansion required. This flooring is non-toxic and free from formaldehyde, a dangerous chemical used in many flooring products that can cause respiratory issues, irritate the eyes, nose and throat and can even cause cancer. They are advertised as “waterproof,” and they are for the most part, but there are a few other things to consider.
