Product Introduction

SPC flooring (Stone Plastic Composite) is a new generation of rigid core vinyl flooring that offers excellent dimensional stability, waterproof performance, and high impact resistance. It is ideal for both residential and commercial applications where moisture and temperature variations occur.

Unlike traditional laminate or wood floors, SPC planks use a click-lock system that makes installation fast, clean, and glue-free. The installation can be done by professionals or DIY users with minimal tools.

Product Features

  • Waterproof: 100% waterproof rigid core suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Easy Installation: Click-lock design enables quick floating installation without glue.
  • Fire Retardant: Meets B1 flame resistance standards.
  • Sound Insulation: IXPE/EVA underlayment reduces noise and enhances comfort.
  • Scratch & Stain Resistant: UV coating protects surface from daily wear.
  • Eco-Friendly: Formaldehyde-free materials and recyclable composition.

Step-by-Step SPC Flooring Installation Process

1. Subfloor Preparation

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, flat, and smooth. Level deviations should not exceed 3mm over 2 meters. Concrete subfloors must be cured and moisture-free.

2. Acclimation

Allow SPC planks to acclimate in the installation area for 48 hours before installation to adjust to room temperature and humidity.

3. Underlayment (If Required)

If the product does not have a pre-attached underlay, lay down a 1-2mm IXPE or EVA acoustic underlayment for sound absorption and comfort.

4. Layout Planning

Measure the room carefully and plan your layout to avoid narrow planks at the walls. Stagger end joints at least 30cm apart for a natural look.

5. Floating Installation

Begin at one corner of the room. Align the click edges and gently lock planks together using a rubber mallet. Maintain an expansion gap of 5–8mm around walls and fixed objects.

6. Trimming & Finishing

Use spacers and a pull bar to tighten joints. After installation, install skirting boards or moldings to cover expansion gaps.

7. Post-Installation Care

After installation, clean the floor with a damp mop. Avoid dragging heavy furniture. Use protective felt pads under furniture legs.

Tip: Maintain indoor temperature between 15°C–30°C and relative humidity between 35%–75% for optimal performance.

Installation Precautions

  • Do not install on carpet or uneven subfloors.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat exposure.
  • Check for subfloor moisture; use a vapor barrier when needed.
  • Leave expansion joints near walls, pipes, and doorways.
  • Store unused planks flat to prevent warping.
