SPC is the full name of stone plastic composite floor (stone plastic composite), its main raw materials are polyvinyl chloride resin and stone powder (usually calcium carbonate powder).
SPC floors are made by plasticizing and extruding polyvinyl chloride, calcium carbonate, lubrication systems, toughening systems and other raw materials, which are then naturally cooled by molds and rollers to make dense sheets and then passed through a series of surfaces. UV processing, such as opening, back, etc.
The structure of this type of floor usually includes the following:
- UV layer: can improve the wear resistance of the floor, prevent water seepage and fading of the floor. For example, after prolonged use of UV SPC treatment, the color of the floor can still remain bright and will not be easily discolored by sun exposure or daily wear.
- Wear layer: protects the color and texture of the floor surface from wear and tear. For example, in household daily use, even if you often walk around, furniture moves, etc., SPC floor can also maintain a good appearance, there will be no obvious scratches.

- Core layer: formed by PVC plastic mixed with other materials, can adapt to changes in temperature and humidity, not easy to expand or contract. For example, in wet basements or hot and dry places, SPC floors can maintain stable performance without deformation, cracking and other problems due to environmental changes.
- Bottom layer: provides cushioning for the floor and increases foot comfort. When people walk on SPC. On the floor, it does not feel stiff, but has a certain flexibility, reducing the fatigue of the feet.
SPC flooring has many advantages:
Good environmental performance:
Polyvinyl chloride is an environmentally friendly non-toxic renewable resources, the production process does not use glue, does not contain formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances. This is an important advantage for health-conscious consumers, especially for families with the elderly, children and pregnant women, SPC can be used with confidence. Floor, don't worry about indoor air pollution.
Waterproof and moisture-proof:
Even in a humid environment, it will not expand and deform because of water absorption, suitable for kitchen, bathroom and other areas. In the kitchen, for example, water often spills onto the floor. If you use ordinary wood floors, it is easy to get damp and deformed, and SPC floors do not have to worry about this problem. In the bathroom, the SPC floor can also withstand the test of water vapor and maintain good performance.
Good anti-slip performance:
It will become more astringent and safer when soaked in water. This is especially important for families with the elderly and children, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of slip and fall accidents. For example, in the bathroom, even if there is water on the floor, people will walk on the SPC floor and can feel very secure, without worrying about slipping and injuring themselves.
Fire retardant:
The ignition point is high, the fire rating can reach B1 level, and it will be automatically extinguished after leaving the fire source, and no harmful gases will be produced during combustion. Some public places or places with high fire protection requirements, SPC floor is a good choice. For example, SPC is used in shopping malls, hotels and other places. Flooring increases safety and reduces fire hazards.
High stability:
The coefficient of thermal expansion is very small, and it can maintain good stability in the environment with large temperature changes. Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, SPC will not have deformation, cracking and other problems due to the change in temperature. For example, in the northern region, there is heating in the winter, the temperature is higher, and the summer is cooler, and the SPC floor can adapt to this temperature change and maintain stability.
Diverse in appearance, diverse in appearance:
A wide selection of patterns, colors and textures can meet different decorative needs. Consumers can choose different SPC floors according to their preferences and decoration style to create a personalized home environment. For example, if you prefer a simple style, you can choose a solid color SPC. Like natural style floor can choose wood grain or stone grain SPC. The floor.
Easy to install:
The use of snap connection, easy installation, can install DIY installation, and the installation process is simple, no special tools are required, can save installation costs and time. For some people who like to decorate themselves, SPC flooring is a good choice. Floor installation can be easily completed by simply following the instructions.
Lightweight:
Light weight, convenient transportation, thickness is generally between 1.6mm-9mm, only one square weight per square weight. 2-7.5kg, in high-rise buildings, it has the advantages of saving building load and space, and also has special advantages in secondary decoration and renovation. For example, SPC is used in some old residential renovation projects to speed up the construction progress, while the floor can reduce the impact on the building structure.
However, the SPC floor also has some disadvantages, such as the foot feeling is harder than solid wood or laminate floor, the ground flatness requirements are higher, and the scratch resistance is general (the surface wear layer is easy to scratch). Choose SPC on the floor, you can consider its advantages and disadvantages, as well as their own needs and budget to make a decision. At the same time, the products of regular manufacturers should be selected, and pay attention to the correct installation and cleaning maintenance methods.
