SPC Vinyl Flooring Overview
Stone plastic composite vinyl flooring is considered to be an upgraded version of engineered vinyl flooring. SPC rigid flooring is set apart from other types of vinyl flooring by its uniquely resilient core layer. This core is made from a combination of natural limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride, and stabilizers. This provides an incredibly stable base for each flooring plank. You can’t tell that is what’s inside these floors once they’re installed. The floors look like any other engineered vinyl floors, with the core completely hidden underneath.
How to Choose the Best Rigid Core Floor
With so many options, finding the best rigid core flooring for your home may feel a tad overwhelming. These Q&As about product construction, style options and installation will help you better understand this unique flooring type so you can shop with confidence.
What is the difference between rigid core and vinyl flooring?
Rigid core's construction is similar to vinyl tile or luxury vinyl — a wear layer, image layer, resilient core and attached underlayment. Unlike typical vinyl planks that are more flexible, rigid core's thick, sturdy boards allow for an easy floating-floor installation. Planks simply snap together instead of adhering to the subfloor.
This "rigid" construction also gives the floor another installation advantage: it can be placed over subfloors with minor irregularities without the risk of telegraphing (when markings appear on floors due to flexible boards being installed over uneven subfloors).
