SPC flooring combines the durability and strength of laminate and the soft and appealing look of luxury vinyl planks. It is a fantastic floating floor which is perfect for indoor area and because it is 100% waterproof, you can have this amazing flooring installed in any room you choose.

SPC flooring is a type of floating floor which has been manufactured to be extremely dimensionally stable compared to conventional floating floors, as well as being waterproof.

They vary in thickness from 5 to 8mm thick and use a variety of locking systems to hold them together.

The surface is made of an image of timber or stone covered by a tough, textured wear-layer of various thicknesses these floors are fairly rigid and have cores of stone polymer, wood polymer or reinforced PVC, all designed not to swell when subjected to moisture from above or below (rising damp).

No adhesive is used when installing this kind of flooring, and the locked “raft” of flooring only needs a 5 -8mm expansion gap around all walls and fittings.

Rigid plank technology allows easy handling and installation making a great alternative to glue down LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles), solid locking LVT, or laminate flooring. Since SPC flooring is100% waterproof, it can be installed in wet areas and will never swell when exposed to water. And it is inert and dimensionally stable; it will not expand or contract under normal conditions.

What are the advantages of this flooring?

Installation without adhesive allows Hybrids to be installed over certain subfloors that stick-down flooring would fail.

Flat tile floors can have be laid directly over with minimal preparation.

The pure bulk of these products combined with acoustic backings has great in-home benefits by reducing sound penetration through the floor to rooms below as well as absorbing ambient and foot-fall sounds.

Being made of synthetic and composite polymers, they are water-proof, so wet-mopping, pet accidents, leaks or spillages have no effect on the flooring.

The textured surface means you will no longer be a slave to your floor.

Fade-resistant dyes means that they withstand colour-loss much longer than real timber flooring, and have the toughest and most resilient surfaces in this category.
