SPC floor: Advantages:
1. Strong stability:
The main components of the SPC floor are calcium carbonate powder (a higher proportion such as about 75%) and polyvinyl chloride, which makes its physical structure very stable. For example, in different climatic conditions, whether it is hot and humid southern regions, or cold and dry
In the dry northern region, SPC floors can maintain the stability of their dimensions, and will not expand, contract or deform due to changes in temperature and humidity.
- After the installation of SPC flooring in many families, even after the change of seasons and extreme weather changes, the floor is still flat as before, and there is no problem of widening or warping gaps.
2. Good environmental protection:
- There is generally no need to add glue and other formaldehyde-containing substances in the production process (if it is a lock installation), which reduces the risk of indoor pollution from the source. For example, some kindergartens, hospitals and other places that focus on environmental protection will give priority to SPC floors
People are provided with a healthy and safe environment.

This is in line with the requirements of modern society for sustainable development, and also contributes to the cause of environmental protection.
3. Excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance:
- SPC floor can be used in wet or even long-term contact with water environment such as bathroom, kitchen, etc. For example, the installation of SPC floor in the bathroom, even if there is often water splashing on the ground, it will not be deformed and moldy like traditional wood floors

There are scratches. Even if heavy objects fall, it is not easy to cause damage to the floor.
5. Easy installation:
- Usually adopts a locking design, easy to install, and can be completed by yourself. For example, some consumers in the purchase of SPC floor, according to the installation instructions, they can complete the installation of the floor, without professional installation workers, saving

Tiles and other familiar materials. However, with the increasing demand for environmental protection and stability, the market prospect of SPC flooring is also more and more broad.
Vinyl sheets (take common LVT flooring as an example, etc.) :

1. Decorative:
- Can highly simulate all kinds of wood, stone textures and even have some characteristic art design textures, very decorative. For example, the LVT floor can imitate the texture of various precious woods such as oak and walnut, and the color is also very rich, which can meet different needs

Consumers can also easily complete the installation.
Disadvantages:
1. Stability:
- It is more affected by temperature and humidity than SPC, which may cause deformation and other problems in the long run. For example, in humid environments, LVT flooring may absorb moisture, causing expansion and deformation; At high temperatures, shrinkage may occur. Therefore,
When installing an LVT floor, pay attention to the ambient temperature and humidity, and take appropriate measures to prevent moisture and heat insulation.
2. Environmental concerns (some products) :
- If glue is used for installation, there may be a risk of harmful substances such as formaldehyde; Additives in the production process may also have environmental risks. For example, some poor quality LVT flooring may add some harmful substances during the production process, such as formaldehyde,
Benzene, etc., these substances will be released into the air, causing harm to human health. Therefore, when choosing LVT flooring, it is necessary to choose products with high environmental protection level and reliable quality.
3. Water resistance:
- Although there is a certain waterproof, but the overall is not as good as SPC floor.
