7. FAQ
Q: Is this flooring truly 100% waterproof?
A: Yes. The rigid polymer core is completely impermeable to water. Unlike traditional vinyl, it will not allow moisture to penetrate to the subfloor, effectively solving the problem of damaging water under vinyl flooring. It can withstand prolonged exposure to standing water without damage.
Q: Can it be installed in basements or over concrete subfloors?
A: Absolutely. This is one of its primary advantages. It is approved for below-grade installations and is ideal for concrete subfloors, which often have higher moisture vapor emission rates (MVER). No additional moisture barrier is typically required.
Q: What is the difference between AC4 and AC5 ratings?
A: The AC Rating (Abrasion Class) indicates suitability for traffic levels. AC4 is for heavy commercial use (e.g., boutiques, offices). AC5 is for extra heavy commercial use (e.g., department stores, airports). We offer both to match your specific project requirements.
Q: Do you offer samples and what are the MOQs?
A: Yes, we provide free physical samples for qualified B2B buyers. Our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is flexible, especially for initial trial orders, and we offer mixed container loads to accommodate varied design selections.
Q: How does this product compare to WPC or traditional LVT?
A: Our SPC/Rigid Core product offers greater dimensional stability and density than Wood Plastic Composite (WPC), making it more resistant to indentation and temperature fluctuations. Compared to traditional Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), it provides a superior waterproof core and often a more rigid, stable plank for easier installation.
