SPC is a waterproof and stain-resistant flooring option. SPC planks have a durable waterproof core, which is surrounded by a thin plastic or cork layer. The planks' density makes them extremely quiet when you walk on them. The softer SPC boards do not produce the hollow sound of vinyl. So, what is the advantage of an SPC floor? Read on to learn more.
Unlike ordinary wood flooring, SPC floors are waterproof. The construction and core of the material play a huge role in waterproofing. You should not install SPC flooring in rooms below grade, however. Additionally, SPC flooring is rigid, which means it's easy to cut it with a power saw. Even a relatively capable consumer can install a medium-sized room in less than a day.
The click-lock system on an SPC click-lock floor is very easy to install. The panels don't need to be nailed or glued. They can be installed on nearly any hard surface, including stone or wood. The only tool you will need is a hobby knife, unlike special power tools or special saws required to cut stone, wood, or tile. The blade will cut the material into a regular shape, so you don't have to worry about nicking or breaking it.
SPC floors come in different plank thicknesses and plank sizes. While you'll find many styles of SPC floors, it's best to take a look at some photos of completed installations to determine the best choice for you. As you look through the photos of floors installed on real-world premises, you'll notice that the thicker planks have higher durability and stability. And because SPC floors are durable, you can replace individual pieces if they become damaged.
