Upgrade Your Space with XD500 SPC Flooring

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring, also known as rigid core vinyl, is an advanced engineered flooring material composed of limestone powder (stone), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and stabilizers. This stone-based rigid core provides exceptional impact resistance, 100% waterproof capability, and long-term dimensional stability compared to standard vinyl or laminate.

Yes, SPC flooring is 100% waterproof. Because its limestone-vinyl core does not absorb moisture, planks will not swell, buckle, warp, or peel when exposed to liquids. This makes SPC flooring ideal for moisture-prone areas, including:

• Bathrooms and powder rooms

• Kitchens and pantries

• Basements

• Laundry rooms and entryway mudrooms

This flooring is not mold-proof so please ensure you are following the installation guides for this type of flooring to assure you have a successful remodel in high moisture areas. 

Yes. Most SPC flooring features a click-lock installation system designed for floating installation over existing flat, hard-surface subfloors, such as:

• Concrete slabs

• Ceramic or porcelain tile

• Plywood subfloors

• Sheet vinyl

Tip: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level to within 3/16 inch per 10 feet for seamless locking. We have installation guides available upon request.

With proper care and installation, high-quality SPC flooring typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more in residential settings, and up to 10–15 years in commercial environments. Lifespan depends heavily on the thickness of the top wear layer (measured in mils).

The wear layer protects the plank's design layer from scratches, scuffs, and fading:

• 12 mil: Suitable for medium-traffic residential areas (e.g., bedrooms, home offices).

• 20 mil or higher: Recommended for high-traffic homes with pets and kids, as well as light commercial applications.

Anything less than the above may be cheaper on price now but may be damaged easier in the long run which would need to be replaced more frequently than a higher quality flooring. 

While both are popular rigid-core luxury vinyl options, their core compositions serve different needs:

• SPC (Stone Plastic Composite): Features a limestone-based core. It is denser, thinner, highly dent-resistant, and designed for heavy foot traffic, pets, and commercial spaces. More Rigid.

• WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): Features a wood-flour-based core. It is slightly thicker and softer underfoot with higher sound absorption, but is more vulnerable to heavy impact dents than SPC. More flexible.

SPC flooring is low-maintenance:

• Daily cleaning: Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum using a soft brush attachment (no beater bar).

• Damp mopping: Use a pH-neutral cleaner formulated specifically for luxury vinyl.

• Avoid: Steam mops, abrasive scrubbers, bleach, or wax-based polishes, as these can dull or damage the protective finish.
