FAQ
What is SPC rigid core flooring?
SPC rigid core flooring is a vinyl plank product with a stone plastic composite core made from limestone powder and stabilizers. This creates a rigid, waterproof base superior to flexible vinyl cores.
Can SPC rigid core flooring be installed over existing floors?

Is SPC rigid core flooring suitable for bathrooms?
Absolutely—its 100% waterproof core handles standing water, steam, and humidity without swelling or delamination.
How does SPC rigid core flooring compare to laminate?
SPC is waterproof and more dent-resistant; laminate requires flat subfloors and fears moisture, while SPC is more forgiving.
What underlayment is recommended for SPC rigid core flooring?
Our attached IXPE underlay suffices for most installs; add acoustic pads for multi-story buildings to enhance soundproofing.
Does SPC rigid core flooring fade in sunlight?
No, the UV-protected wear layer resists fading, maintaining color vibrancy for 20+ years even in direct light.
