What is SPC Flooring?

SPC flooring is a specialized type of luxury vinyl flooring characterized by an exceptionally rigid core. Unlike standard vinyl, which is flexible, SPC is engineered to be dimensionally stable and incredibly tough, making it suitable for both high-end home decoration and demanding construction projects.

Definition and Composition (Stone Plastic Composite)

The name "Stone Plastic Composite" refers to the unique core layer of the plank. Through technological innovation, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. ensures that each layer is meticulously engineered for maximum performance. Typically, an SPC plank consists of four to five distinct layers:

• UV Coating: The top layer that provides essential protection against scratches, stains, and UV rays, ensuring the floor maintains its luster over time.
• Wear Layer: A transparent layer that determines the floor's resistance to daily foot traffic and physical wear.
• Decorative Film: A high-definition print layer that provides the visual appearance, utilizing advanced printing to mimic wood, stone, or tile.
• SPC Core: The "heart" of the plank, made from a blend of natural limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride, and stabilizers. This core is what makes the flooring 100% waterproof and remarkably rigid.
• Underlayment (Optional): An attached layer of IXPE or EVA foam that provides extra sound insulation and comfort underfoot.

Brief History and Evolution

The evolution of flooring has seen a shift from natural materials to engineered composites. SPC flooring represents the latest generation of this journey:

• The Early Era: Traditional hardwood and stone dominated the market but were often difficult to maintain and sensitive to moisture.
• The Vinyl Boom: The introduction of LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) offered waterproof solutions but still faced challenges with indentation and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• The SPC Revolution: To address the need for a more stable and impact-resistant material, the industry developed SPC. As an all-round development modern enterprise, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has been at the forefront of this rapid pace of development, refining the limestone-to-polymer ratio to create a product that can meet the needs of various types of construction projects.

Types of SPC Flooring

To accommodate the diverse requirements of modern home decoration and large-scale construction projects, SPC flooring is categorized based on its structural specifications and aesthetic finishes. Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a rich product system that ensures every project—whether residential or industrial—has a perfectly suited flooring solution.

Based on Wear Layer Thickness

The wear layer is the transparent top coating that protects the design film from physical damage. Selecting the correct thickness is vital for the longevity of the installation:

• 0.3mm (12 mil): Ideal for residential settings with light to moderate traffic, such as bedrooms and guest rooms.
• 0.5mm (20 mil): The standard for high-traffic residential areas and moderate commercial spaces. This thickness is highly favored by consumers for its balance of cost and durability.
• 0.7mm (28 mil) and above: Engineered for heavy-duty commercial construction projects, such as shopping malls, hospitals, and busy office complexes.

Based on Installation Method

Technological innovation has led to the development of several installation systems to suit different subfloor conditions and contractor preferences:

Click-Lock System

This is the most popular type of SPC flooring. The planks feature a "Uniclic" or "Valinge" profile that allows them to snap together without the need for glue. This "floating floor" method is exceptionally DIY-friendly and allows for rapid development in the pace of installation.

Glue-Down SPC

While less common for the rigid core variety, some thinner SPC planks are designed to be glued directly to the subfloor. This provides maximum stability in very large open areas where a floating floor might experience slight movement.

Based on Visual Appearance

The design versatility of the Haining Yunxi product system allows it to meet the needs of various styles of home decoration by replicating premium natural materials:

Wood Look

Utilizing high-definition decorative films, these planks capture the warmth and texture of real timber, including oak, walnut, and exotic wood veneers, without the vulnerability to moisture.

Stone Look

These panels mimic the cool elegance of natural stone, such as slate, granite, or limestone. They are perfect for entryways and modern kitchens where a rugged yet sophisticated look is desired.

Tile and Marble Look

Offering the high-end appeal of polished marble or ceramic tiles, this type provides a luxurious aesthetic. Unlike real tile, however, it is warmer to the touch and significantly easier to install, making it a smart choice for modern construction projects.

Textured and EIR (Embossed In Register)

EIR is a premium manufacturing technique where the surface texture perfectly matches the underlying grain of the wood or stone print. This technological innovation provides a tactile experience that is virtually indistinguishable from the real material, further enhancing its popularity among high-end designers.

SPC Flooring vs. Other Flooring Options

Choosing the right flooring requires a clear understanding of how different materials perform under pressure. Through independent research and development, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has optimized the SPC formula to overcome the limitations of traditional floors. Below is a detailed comparison showing how the rich product system of SPC stands against its competitors.

SPC vs. Vinyl Flooring (WPC and LVT)

While all belong to the vinyl family, their core structures lead to very different performances:

• Core Composition: LVT has a flexible PVC core, and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) uses a foamed core. SPC uses a stone-plastic composite, making it significantly denser and more rigid.
• Dents and Impact: SPC is the clear winner here. Its stone-based core is far more resistant to heavy furniture indentations compared to the softer WPC or LVT.
• Temperature Stability: SPC flooring experiences minimal expansion or contraction. In contrast, standard LVT may warp in areas with high sunlight or extreme temperature shifts.

SPC vs. Laminate Flooring

Laminate has long been a staple in home decoration, but SPC offers several critical upgrades:

• Water Resistance: This is the most significant difference. Laminate has a wood-based fiberboard core that swells when wet. SPC is 100% waterproof, making it suitable for bathrooms where laminate would fail.
• Sound Quality: Laminate can often sound "hollow" or "clicky." The dense core of SPC, combined with the technological innovation of attached underlayments, provides a much quieter, more solid sound.
• Maintenance: SPC does not require the specialized wood cleaners or the fear of wet-mopping associated with laminate.

SPC vs. Hardwood Flooring

While hardwood is a luxury classic, the rapid pace of development in SPC design now offers a more practical alternative:

• Cost: SPC provides the authentic look of wood veneer at a fraction of the price of solid hardwood.
• Durability: Hardwood is easily scratched and dented by pets or high heels. SPC’s wear layer is designed to withstand heavy traffic in various types of construction projects.
• Environment: Unlike hardwood, which is sensitive to humidity, SPC remains stable in any climate, from dry offices to humid coastal homes.

SPC vs. Tile Flooring

Tile is durable and waterproof, but SPC offers better everyday livability:

• Installation: Tiles require mortar, grout, and professional labor. SPC's click-lock system is much faster and cleaner to install.
• Comfort: Tiles are cold and hard on the joints. SPC is warmer to the touch and offers slight cushioning, meeting the comfort needs of modern residential styles.
• Repair: Cracked tiles are difficult to replace. An SPC plank can be unclicked and replaced with minimal effort.

One of the standout features that makes SPC flooring loved and favored by consumers is its straightforward installation process. Thanks to technological innovation in locking mechanisms, the rich product system from Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. allows for a rapid pace of development during the construction phase, saving both time and labor costs for various types of construction projects.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before beginning your project, ensure you have the following essential tools ready to achieve a professional-grade finish in your home decoration:

• Measuring Tools: Tape measure, pencil, and a straight edge or speed square.
• Cutting Tools: A utility knife (for score-and-snap cuts) or a fine-tooth saw for complex shapes.
• Installation Kit: Rubber mallet, tapping block, and pull bar to ensure tight joints.
• Spacers: To maintain the necessary expansion gap around the perimeter of the room.
• Subfloor Prep: Leveling compound or a floor sander if the base is uneven.

Subfloor Preparation

The secret to a long-lasting SPC floor lies in what is underneath. As a modern enterprise focused on quality, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. emphasizes the following preparation steps:

• Cleanliness: The subfloor must be completely free of dust, grit, and adhesive residue.
• Dryness: Ensure the concrete or plywood base is dry. While SPC is 100% waterproof, trapped moisture underneath can lead to mold issues in the subfloor.
• Levelness: The subfloor should be flat within 3mm over a 3-meter radius. High spots should be sanded down, and low spots should be filled with a self-leveling compound.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install your click-lock SPC flooring effectively:

1. Acclimatization

Place the unopened boxes of SPC flooring in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours. This allows the planks to adjust to the room's temperature and humidity.

2. Setting the Expansion Gap

Place spacers along the walls to maintain a gap of approximately 6mm to 10mm. This gap is crucial to allow the floating floor to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes.

3. The First Row

Start in a corner with the tongue side of the plank facing the wall. Click the end joints of the first row together. The last plank of the row will likely need to be cut to fit.

4. Engaging the Click-Lock

Start the second row using the off-cut from the first row (provided it is at least 30cm long) to ensure staggered joints. Insert the long side tongue into the groove of the first row at an angle, then drop it into place. Use the rubber mallet and tapping block to gently secure the connection.

5. Completing the Room

Continue this process across the room. For the final row, use a pull bar to snug the planks into place against the wall.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To ensure your flooring meets the rigorous standards of high-end home decoration, avoid these frequent errors:

• Not Staggering Joints: Always ensure that end joints are offset by at least 20cm to 30cm between adjacent rows for structural stability.
• Tapping Too Hard: Excessive force with a mallet can damage the delicate click-lock profiles.
• Ignoring the Expansion Gap: Failing to leave space at the walls can cause the floor to peak or buckle as the building settles or temperatures shift.
• Installing Over Soft Subfloors: Never install SPC over carpet or thick, cushioned underlayments, as this creates too much "vertical deflection" and can break the locking system.

Maintenance and Care

One of the core reasons why the rich product system from Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is loved and favored by consumers is its remarkably low maintenance requirement. Thanks to the technological innovation in surface treatments, these floors are designed to withstand the rigors of various construction projects while maintaining their aesthetic appeal with minimal effort.

Regular Cleaning Tips

To keep your SPC flooring looking as pristine as the day it was installed, follow these simple cleaning routines:

• Daily Dusting: Use a soft-bristle broom, a microfiber dust mop, or a vacuum cleaner with a soft floor attachment to remove loose dirt and grit that can act as an abrasive.
• Damp Mopping: For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for resilient flooring. Avoid using excessive water; while the planks are 100% waterproof, standing water can seep into the subfloor through the perimeter expansion gaps.
• The "No-Steam" Rule: Never use a steam mop on SPC flooring. The intense heat can compromise the adhesive bonds within the multi-layered structure and damage the UV protective coating.

Stain Removal

Despite the high-grade protective layer, certain substances may require extra attention to ensure your home decoration remains flawless:

• Spills: Promptly wipe up spills of juice, wine, or oils. Although the floor is stain-resistant, allowing highly pigmented liquids to dry can make them more difficult to remove later.
• Tough Marks: For stubborn stains like ink or permanent marker, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and gently rub the area. Rinse with clean water immediately afterward.
• Scuffs: Rubber heel marks can often be removed simply by rubbing them with your thumb or using a tennis ball on a stick to gently buff the surface.

Preventative Measures

As an all-round development modern enterprise, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. recommends these proactive steps to extend the lifespan of your flooring across all types of construction projects:

Protective Furniture Pads

Always attach felt or rubber floor protectors to the legs of heavy furniture. This prevents deep indentations and scratches when items are moved. For chairs with rollers, ensure they use soft-surface casters designed for hard floors.

Entrance Mats

Place high-quality walk-off mats at every entrance to the building. This simple step traps up to 80% of the outdoor dirt and moisture that would otherwise be tracked onto the floor, reducing the overall cleaning burden.

Sunlight Management

While the UV coating provides excellent protection, prolonged and intense direct sunlight can lead to thermal expansion or slight fading over many years. Utilizing blinds, curtains, or UV-tinted windows in sun-drenched rooms will help maintain the floor's original vibrancy for decades.

Avoid Dragging Objects

Never drag heavy appliances or furniture across the floor. If you need to move heavy items, use plywood sheets or specialized furniture sliders to protect the surface from gouging.

Is SPC flooring truly 100% waterproof?

Yes. Because the core is made of a Stone Plastic Composite (limestone powder and PVC), it does not contain any organic wood fibers that could absorb water. This makes it a perfect solution for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens in any home decoration project. However, it is important to note that while the planks are waterproof, the subfloor is not; always ensure the perimeter is properly sealed in high-moisture environments.

Can SPC flooring be installed over existing floors?

In many cases, yes. One of the reasons SPC is loved and favored by consumers is its ability to be installed over existing hard surfaces such as:

• Ceramic tiles (provided the grout lines are not too wide or deep).
• Standard vinyl.
• Concrete or plywood subfloors.

However, it should never be installed over soft surfaces like carpet or "floating" laminate, as these do not provide the necessary stability for the click-lock system.

Does SPC flooring require an underlayment?

While the rigid core is strong, an underlayment is highly recommended for sound insulation and comfort. Many products in the Haining Yunxi rich product system come with a pre-attached IXPE or EVA foam underlayment. This built-in technological innovation simplifies the installation process and ensures a quieter, more cushioned feel underfoot.

How does SPC perform with underfloor heating systems?

SPC flooring is an excellent conductor of heat and is highly stable under temperature changes. Unlike hardwood, which can crack, or laminate, which can warp, SPC remains dimensionally stable when used with radiant heating systems. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding maximum temperature limits to maintain the integrity of the wear layer.

Is SPC flooring eco-friendly?

As a modern enterprise dedicated to sustainability, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. ensures that its SPC flooring is 100% formaldehyde-free and recyclable. By utilizing natural limestone as a primary component, the production process reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional synthetic flooring options, supporting the green goals of modern construction projects.

Expert Tips for Maximizing the Performance of SPC Flooring

To conclude this comprehensive guide, Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. offers professional insights to help you get the most out of your flooring investment. As an all-round development modern enterprise, our goal is to ensure that our rich product system continues to be loved and favored by consumers through proper application and long-term care in various types of construction projects.

Color Consistency and Batch Management

When ordering for large-scale home decoration or commercial builds, always ensure that all your SPC planks come from the same production batch. Due to the technological innovation in high-definition printing, slight color variations can occur between different production runs.

• Pro Tip: Check the batch number on the packaging of every box before starting the installation.
• Blending: Even within the same batch, it is best practice to "shuffle" planks from at least three different boxes during installation to create a natural and harmonious look across the floor.

Addressing Expansion and Contraction

Although the stone-plastic core is famous for its stability, the entire floor "floats" as a single unit. Therefore, managing movement is essential:

• Large Spaces: For very large construction projects exceeding 20 meters in length or width, transition moldings (T-moldings) should be used to provide additional expansion relief.
• Heavy Cabinetry: Never install permanent, heavy fixtures—like kitchen islands or floor-to-ceiling wardrobes—directly on top of the floating SPC floor. Install the cabinetry first and the flooring around it to allow the planks to move freely.

Choosing the Right Design for the Right Space

The independent research and development team at Haining Yunxi has created a wide variety of styles. Choosing wisely enhances the longevity of the design:

• Light vs. Dark: Lighter wood veneer patterns are excellent for making small rooms feel larger and are more forgiving with visible dust. Darker, sophisticated stone looks are perfect for high-contrast, modern home decoration but may require more frequent dusting to maintain their sleek appearance.
• Texture Matters: For areas prone to moisture, such as laundry rooms or entryways, consider a textured or "hand-scraped" finish to provide extra slip resistance and a more authentic tactile feel.

Technical Maintenance and Quality Assurance

Ensuring the peak performance of your flooring over a lifetime requires a deep understanding of the technical standards behind the product. Haining Yunxi New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has long been focusing on the independent research and development and production of flooring and wall panels, establishing a set of quality assurance protocols that support both the installer and the end-user. As a modern enterprise at the forefront of technological innovation, we ensure our rich product system remains the gold standard for durability.

Quality Control and Testing Standards

Before any product leaves our facility to be used in major construction projects, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it remains loved and favored by consumers. Our quality assurance process includes:

• Peel Strength Testing: Ensuring that the UV coating, wear layer, and decorative film are permanently bonded to the SPC core to prevent delamination.
• Dimensional Stability Analysis: Testing the planks in extreme temperature chambers to guarantee that expansion and contraction remain within 0.1% or less.
• Impact Resistance Verification: Simulating heavy dropped objects to ensure the stone-plastic core does not crack or dent under pressure.
• Stain and Chemical Resistance: Verifying that the surface can withstand common household and industrial chemicals without discoloration.

Professional Maintenance for Commercial Settings

In high-traffic construction projects such as malls or hospitals, maintenance needs to be more systematic than in residential home decoration. We recommend the following professional protocols:

• Auto-Scrubber Usage: For large areas, use an automatic floor scrubber equipped with a soft brush or red pad. This provides a deep clean without damaging the UV protective layer.
• Neutral Cleaners: Always use a neutral-pH commercial cleaner. Highly acidic or alkaline solutions can gradually degrade the luster of the finish over many years.
• Strategic Matting: Implementing a "three-step" walk-off mat system—scraping mats outside, absorbing mats inside the vestibule, and finishing mats in the lobby—can reduce interior soil by up to 90%.

Protecting the Aesthetic Integrity

The beauty of wood veneer and stone looks is a key reason for our brand's success in home decoration. To protect this visual appeal:

• UV Monitoring: In rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass, consider the use of solar window films. While our planks are highly UV-resistant, reducing extreme heat load prevents the floor from reaching temperatures that could affect the adhesive properties of the underlayment.
• Furniture Transitions: When rearranging furniture in luxury residential projects, always lift the items completely. Even with the rapid pace of development in scratch-resistant coatings, heavy mechanical dragging can eventually leave marks.
