SPC Flooring

SPC planks are built around a dense mineral-based core, topped with a printed decorative layer and a protective wear surface. The rigid core makes the boards stable under changing temperatures and resistant to denting under furniture, which is a useful trait in sun-exposed rooms and large open-plan spaces. Boards usually click together, so they float over the subfloor rather than being glued down.

Because the boards are rigid, they bridge small irregularities better than softer vinyl, but they still need a reasonably flat, dry base. Large rooms need movement gaps at the perimeter and sometimes at doorways, which are hidden under skirting or trims. We plan the layout so plank joints are staggered, rooms end with sensible cuts and transitions to other floors look tidy.

SPC is not completely forgiving. A very uneven slab, persistent moisture or heavy rolling loads need assessment before installation, and the floor can feel firmer and slightly cooler underfoot than softer flooring. If your priority is cushioned comfort or the feel of real timber, we will talk through the alternatives rather than steer you towards SPC regardless.
