Facts about stone-core luxury vinyl flooring

Facts about stone-core luxury vinyl flooring


Luxury vinyl flooring
comes in two forms. First, rather than sheets, the material is cut into long planks (luxury vinyl plank or LVP flooring). Alternatively, it can be cut into square, tile-sized pieces (luxury vinyl tile or LVT flooring).

Luxury vinyl is waterproof
. However, many want the highest level of water protection, so they swap out the traditional core for SPC.

Fact #1: SPC is technologically advanced


A stone-plastic composite (SPC) core offers the highest level of waterproof protection. It will never, ever peel and ripple.
It doesn’t matter how much water there is or how long it’s been on your vinyl plank flooring.

Fact #2: SPC feels like a tough surface


Many tell us it's the closest you can get to genuine hardwood. This feels firm and solid underfoot, like wood, stone, or tile.
You'll also hear WPC a lot; wood plastic composite offers the same high level of moisture protection–with the feeling of a flexible underfoot and resilient surface.

Fact #3: SPC is durable


SPC (and WPC) are both graded for commercial use. SPC was once used mainly in commercial applications; as design options expanded, it became the go-to luxury vinyl flooring in Carrollton, TX, for residential use, especially for those with large families, kids, pets, and heavy foot traffic.
