Wholesale SPC Vinyl Flooring

SPC flooring, also known as Stone Plastic Composite flooring, is a type of luxury vinyl flooring made from a combination of stone particles and plastic. It is similar to WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) flooring, but is more durable and resistant to moisture.

It’s known for its stability and strength, and is often used in commercial and residential settings. It is also relatively easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike.

SPC Flooring Structure

SPC Flooring Structure

UV (ultraviolet) Layer – It’s a clear, protective layer that is applied on top of the surface of the SPC flooring. This layer helps to protect the flooring from UV light, which can cause fading and discoloration over time.

Wear Layer – The wear layer of an SPC flooring structure is a layer of protective material that sits on top of the decorative layer of the flooring. It is typically made of a clear, hard-wearing material such as urethane or acrylic, and it serves to protect the decorative layer from wear and tear.

Decorative Layer – The decorative layer of an SPC flooring structure refers to the topmost layer that is visible to the eye and gives the flooring its desired appearance. The decorative layer can also include patterns, textures, and colors to give the flooring a unique look and feel.

Core Layer – The rigid core layer is a key component of SPC flooring. It is made of high-density PVC mixed with limestone, which gives it its strength and rigidity. This layer is typically around 4mm thick and serves as the foundation of the flooring.

Backing Layer – It lies underneath the decorative layer. It is made of a stone composite material, usually limestone or marble, mixed with a plastic resin binder. This layer provides the stability and strength for the flooring, as well as a moisture barrier to protect against water damage. It also helps to reduce noise and improve sound insulation. The thickness of the backing layer can vary, but it is typically around 3-5mm.

SPC Flooring Thickness

Thickness of SPC Flooring

The thickness of SPC flooring typically ranges from 4mm to 6mm. However, we offer thicker options up to 8mm to 12mm and customized thicknesses.

It is important to consider the thickness when determining its durability and performance, as well as its compatibility with any existing underlayment or subfloor. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing the thickness of SPC flooring:

  • Durability – Generally, thicker flooring is more durable as it has a stronger core and is less prone to damage. However, it may also be more expensive.
  • Installation – If you are installing the flooring over an uneven or irregular surface, a thicker floor may be necessary to level the surface.
  • Use – Consider the amount of foot traffic and weight the floor will be subjected to. If it will be in a high-traffic area or will need to support heavy furniture, a thicker floor may be necessary.
  • Style – Thicker flooring can also give a more luxurious or premium look, so consider your personal style preferences when choosing thickness.
  • Price – As mentioned, thicker flooring may be more expensive. Consider your budget when making a decision.

SPC Flooring Installation Methods

SPC Flooring Glue-down Installation

Glue-down Installation

This method involves applying a layer of adhesive to the subfloor before laying the SPC flooring. This method is best for concrete or wood subfloors. This method is generally considered to be more time-consuming and labor-intensive than other installation methods, such as floating or click-lock, but it can provide a more secure and stable installation.

SPC Flooring Floating Installation

Floating Installation

With floating installation, the flooring is installed over a layer of underlayment with no adhesive required, which helps to absorb sound and provide a smooth surface for the flooring to lay on. The flooring is then secured in place using a tongue and groove system. This method is best for uneven or imperfect subfloors and can be performed by a DIY homeowner.

SPC Flooring Click-lock Installation

Click-lock Installation

This method involves interlocking the planks together by clicking them into place, rather than using adhesives or nails. It allows for easy removal and replacement of individual planks if necessary. Additionally, this method provides a secure and stable installation, as the planks are locked together tightly, reducing the risk of gaps or movement over time.
