What Is SPC Flooring?
SPC flooring, also called stone plastic composite flooring, is a rigid core flooring product made with a stone-plastic composite core, decorative film, wear layer and surface coating.
It is commonly supplied with a click-lock system for floating floor installation. It is often selected for apartment renovation, hotel rooms, rental properties, offices, retail stores and light commercial interiors.
Water resistance is one reason buyers choose SPC flooring, but installation details, edge treatment and site conditions still matter.
