Normal Vinyl Flooring comes in a number of specifications that are engineered to deal with various demands, made possible by varying the ratios of different stabilizers. Regardless of the internal molecular makeup, all normal vinyl flooring is fully customizable to imitate the aesthetic of wood, stone, or ceramic. Indeed, abstract or custom designing is 100% possible due to how each plank is layered. The normal vinyl flooring is made up of multiple thin layers so that the flooring is still flexible but very durable and easy to look after.
SPC Flooring, and What It Is
Stone plastic composite flooring can be spoken about as a highly advance upgrade over normal vinyl flooring. It is also sometimes referred to as rigid floor, core flooring, or rigid vinyl planks (RVP).
SPC floors are composed of the following layers: SPC core, the balanced section, the wear layer, the print layer, and the anti-UV layer. Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), corkwood, and irradiated cross-linked polyethylene (IXPE) foam are some of the materials that can be found as the backing substance for an LVT floor. Aside from the benefits of normal vinyl flooring, stone plastic composite flooring also enjoys better acoustic profiles, higher peel strength, less distortion/warping over time, improved temperature regulation, and zero emissions of damaging substances. Best of all, the process to make SPC is entirely eco-friendly as it eliminates many of the traditional contaminants found in other high-end, solid floors.
Normal Vinyl Flooring | SPC Flooring | |
Construction | Simple PVC Core that makes it soft. | Stone plastic composite core gives it a rigid construction and solid feel. |
Appearance | Flat look less dense | Realistic look with 3d texture and denser feel |
Subfloor | Normal vinyl flooring will not be forgiving with any imperfection on subfloor. | SPC flooring will not change shape as easily because it is constructed solid |
Installation | Glue down, loose lay or click lock | Floating click lock, tongue and groove system |
Dent Resistance | Normal vinyl floorings are soft and pliable, which means any weighted furniture will easily dent the floor | SPC Flooring is resilient when it comes to dents and abuse. It is a great option for all environments |
Price | Budget Friendly | SPC flooring is one of the more affordable options in the rigid core category, only a little bit more expensive than normal vinyl flooring |
