Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why is an 8mm thickness important for vinyl plank flooring?
A: The 8mm thickness of vinyl plank flooring is a key indicator of its performance grade. It provides superior structural rigidity, reducing flex and the risk of joint separation. It also offers better sound insulation, underfoot comfort, and the ability to bridge minor subfloor imperfections more effectively than thinner products.
Q2: Can this flooring be installed below grade, such as in a basement?
A: Absolutely. Due to its 100% waterproof SPC core, this flooring is an excellent choice for below-grade installations like basements, where moisture from concrete slabs is a common concern. It will not swell, warp, or harbor mold.
Q3: What is the difference between SPC and WPC core?
A: SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) cores are denser and more rigid than WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) cores, which contain wood flour. Our 5mm SPC core offers higher dimensional stability and superior resistance to indentation, making it ideal for commercial settings and areas with heavy loads.
Q4: Is an additional underlayment required?
A: No, an additional underlayment is not required. This product comes with a pre-attached 2mm IXPE cork underlayment that provides sufficient sound absorption, comfort, and moisture barrier for most floating floor applications.
Q5: What are the packaging and MOQ details?
A: Standard packaging is 8 planks per box, covering approximately 23.5 sq ft (2.18 sq m). Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is one 20-foot container, but we offer flexible terms for mixed-container loads and established partnerships.
