Benefits of Choosing SPC Vinyl Flooring

Since its debut in the 1970s, vinyl plank flooring has soared in popularity in all major commercial market segments. In fact, Spectra Contract Flooring has installed more than 95 million square feet of vinyl flooring since 2012. From hotels and restaurants to schools, hospitals, and more, there is no limit to where these planks can be installed. In addition, with the introduction of rigid core technology, vinyl plank flooring looks more dynamic and versatile than ever before thanks to products like SPC. Here we will discuss what SPC flooring is, how SPC flooring is manufactured, the benefits of choosing SPC vinyl flooring, and some SPC installation tips to consider.

What is SPC flooring?

SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite and is designed to exactly replicate traditional flooring materials such as stone, ceramic, or wood, but offers more practical benefits as you will see later in this article.SPC opens the door to a variety of design concepts using realistic photo prints and clear vinyl top layers.

Water-Proof SPC Flooring          

SPC flooring typically consists of four layers.

Abrasion-resistant layer - Playing a vital role in the life of the tile, this layer uses a clear coating such as an aluminum oxide to prevent the floor from wearing down quickly.

Vinyl Top Layer - Some premium types of SPC have a realistic 3D visual effect and can be installed to look exactly like stone, ceramic, or wood.

Rigid Core - The core layer is where you get the most bang for your buck. Here you'll find a dense but stable waterproof center that provides stiffness and stability to the planks.

Backing Layer - Also known as the backbone of the floor, this layer provides your planks with additional sound insulation and is naturally resistant to mold and mildew.

Benefits of choosing SPC vinyl flooring

Easy to install

SPC can be easily installed in two ways, using glue or loose flooring. Using the newer loose system allows the use of SPC with minimal surface preparation. with this solution, flooring installation costs and installation time can be reduced.

Waterproofing

One of the biggest benefits of choosing SPC vinyl flooring is that it is completely waterproof. Thanks to its hard PVC core layer, these planks can withstand liquids and spills unlike many of the flooring products it mimics.

Stylish and comfortable

The surface of SPC is softer than other flooring materials, such as wood or stone. It is also more comfortable underfoot and reduces sound, a very important feature in many facilities.

Environmentally friendly

Choosing SPC can help your facility achieve LEED certification because many of the materials used in its production are renewable products, recycled content, and low-emission materials.

Budget

Want a floor that's water, scratch, stain, and fade resistant but won't break the bank? Look no further. SPC vinyl flooring is often less expensive than the luxury flooring it mimics, such as hardwood or stone.

Maintenance
