Commonly known as "vinyl," poly vinyl chloride (PVC) is made into a variety of flooring products, including many product lines with a faux wood grain appearance. It is made from a plasticized PVC formulated for use in homes and businesses. PVC is impervious to water and is known for its long-wearing durability with very convincing colors, textures and patterns.

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) interlock flooring is another type of resilient flooring that has gained popularity for its durability and ease of installation. Here’s a detailed overview of SPC interlock flooring:
What is SPC Interlock Flooring?
SPC flooring is a type of luxury vinyl flooring that combines limestone and stabilizers to create a highly durable core. The interlocking mechanism refers to the method of installation where planks or tiles fit together without the need for adhesive, nails, or staples.
Structure of SPC Interlock Flooring
- Wear Layer: The top layer that protects the floor from scratches, stains, and wear. It’s clear and adds durability.
- Vinyl Decorative Film: A high-resolution printed layer that mimics the look of natural materials like wood or stone, providing the flooring with its aesthetic appeal.
- SPC Core: The main core layer made from limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride, and stabilizers. It gives the flooring rigidity, stability, and water resistance.
- Underlayment (optional): Some SPC flooring comes with an attached underlayment for additional comfort and noise reduction.
Benefits of SPC Interlock Flooring
- Durability: SPC flooring is highly resistant to scratches, dents, stains, and impact, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Water Resistance: The SPC core provides excellent water resistance, making it ideal for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
- Realistic Appearance: Advanced printing technology allows for realistic designs that mimic natural materials like wood or stone.
- Easy Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep; regular sweeping and occasional mopping are sufficient to keep it clean.
- Comfort: Softer and warmer underfoot compared to traditional hard surfaces like tile or stone.
- Dimensional Stability: SPC flooring is less likely to expand or contract due to temperature changes compared to traditional vinyl or laminate flooring.
- Environmentally Friendly: Made with natural limestone powder, SPC flooring is considered more environmentally friendly than other types of vinyl flooring.
Installation of SPC Interlock Flooring
- Floating Installation: Most SPC flooring comes with a click-lock or interlocking mechanism that allows for floating installation over existing floors or subfloors.
- Underlayment: Some SPC products have an attached underlayment, eliminating the need for a separate underlayment installation.
Applications
