Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) Flooring

Due to its construction SPC flooring is very durable and water / stain resistant, meaning it can be installed in any room at home or in light commercial environments, such as shops. Waterproof in nature, it is suitable for areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, where moisture levels can be higher.

Ultimately, SPC Flooring is perfect for any room of the home, or light commercial setting whereby the look of wood is desired, but with added practicality and cost savings.

No flooring is “bullet proof”, however our high-quality SPC flooring has a wear-resistant top coat, which will thoroughly protect it from scratches and dents.

All our stone plastic composite flooring comes with a built-in underlay and an easy click-locking system.

These features reduce the time required to install, keeping installation costs down, and make for easy installation – of which many keen DIYers take on themselves.

Due to the integrated underlay, you do not need any additional glues or underlays.

The difference is in the composition of the core. SPC contains stone composite and PVC which created a ridged core, whereas WPC contains wood fibres, plastics, and foaming agents, making it softer and more flexible.
