SPC Floors
Click Luxury Vinyl Flooring That Is Stylish, Versatile & Easy To Install
SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite, which is a type of rigid core luxury vinyl flooring. SPC floors are engineered with a unique composition that combines limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and stabilisers. This advanced construction creates a highly durable and dimensionally stable flooring material, making SPC floors a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Key Features of SPC Floors:
-
Rigid Core: The core layer of SPC flooring is exceptionally rigid, which provides several advantages. It makes the planks or tiles more resistant to impacts and prevents them from flexing or bending under pressure. This characteristic is especially beneficial for high-traffic areas.
-
Waterproof: SPC flooring is 100% waterproof, making it suitable for installation in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Unlike traditional wood-based materials, SPC floors do not absorb water, preventing warping, swelling, or damage caused by water exposure.
-
Stability: The combination of limestone and PVC in SPC flooring results in a highly stable product that is less susceptible to temperature changes and fluctuations in humidity. As a result, these floors are less likely to expand or contract, ensuring a consistent appearance and fit over time.
-
Easy Installation: SPC flooring typically features a click-lock installation system, making it easy for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts to install. The planks or tiles snap together securely without the need for adhesives, simplifying the installation process. MR Floors supply and fit floors all around the UK and are proud to have worked with some of the biggest names in the industry.
-
Durability: SPC floors are designed to withstand heavy use and wear. The wear layer on the surface provides resistance to scratches, stains, and fading, ensuring the flooring maintains its appearance even in high-traffic areas.
-
Comfort and Sound Absorption: While SPC flooring is rigid, it often comes with an attached underlayment or can be installed with an additional cushioned underlayment, providing a more comfortable surface to walk on. Additionally, the underlayment helps to reduce noise transmission, making it a quieter flooring option.
-
Variety of Designs: SPC flooring is available in a wide range of designs, including wood, stone, and tile looks. Advanced printing and embossing technologies allow manufacturers to create highly realistic textures and patterns, offering the visual appeal of natural materials with the added benefits of SPC.
SPC flooring has become a popular choice for homeowners and commercial property owners looking for a durable, waterproof, and visually appealing flooring option that can mimic the appearance of natural materials without the associated maintenance requirements.
