Q What is SPC flooring?
A SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is a new generation of rigid-core vinyl flooring made from a mixture of limestone powder, PVC, and stabilizers. This structure creates a highly durable and dimensionally stable core that resists expansion, contraction, and impact.

Q What makes SPC flooring different from traditional vinyl flooring?
A SPC flooring features a rigid stone-plastic composite core, making it stronger, more stable, and more durable than standard LVT. It performs well under temperature changes and is suitable for uneven subfloors.
