What is SPC (Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring)?

 

Rigid core luxury vinyl flooring, also known as SPC flooring, is the most durable waterproof vinyl flooring option on the market. 

You know how vinyl has a reputation for being flexible and less sturdy than traditional wood or laminate? Well, WPC vinyl is pretty darn sturdy, but SPC rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is like standing on concrete. 

This small, thin flooring may seem like it doesn't have much unf to it, but it is the toughest of the tough, specially designed to withstand the use and abuse of commercial environments. 

Like WPC, SPC rigid core vinyl flooring is the top of the line for not just functionality but looks, as well. With rigid core vinyl, you'll see all the hottest wood and stone-look trends and colors in beautiful, convincing planks and tiles.
 
 
 
 

What Does SPC Stand For?

 

SPC is industry lingo for Stone Plastic Composite or Stone Polymer Composite (these terms are used interchangeably). It describes the ultra-tough core of rigid core luxury vinyl flooring. The stone plastic composite makes that core layer virtually indestructible, maintaining its form even on top of uneven subfloors. 

What does that mean for you? 

I'm glad you asked! It means you can install SPC rigid core luxury vinyl flooring on any level, over almost any existing (hard surface) subfloor and for any amount of traffic.
 
 
 
 

Layers of Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring

 

SPC rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is typically comprised of 4 layers.* 

*Can vary between manufacturers. 
 

• Backing Layer: This is the backbone of your plank.
• SPC Core: This is the main attraction! SPC flooring contains a solid, waterproof WPC core. It won't ripple, swell or peel no matter much liquid you subject it to. This core is ultra-dense with no foaming agents like you'll find in traditional WPC flooring. It gives you slightly less resilience underfoot, but it makes the flooring a superhero in the durability department.
• Printed Vinyl Layer: This is where you get your gorgeous photo imagery that makes the vinyl look (nearly) identical to natural materials like stone and wood. Often, rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is the highest quality vinyl on the market. This means you get the most realistic looks that people will swear are real wood/stone!
• Wear Layer: Just like with traditional vinyl, the wear layer is like your bodyguard; it helps protect your floor from dents, scratches, etc. The thicker the wear layer, the buffer your bodyguard. SPC flooring is known for having a buff, beefy wear layer offering more protection. When you look at vinyl flooring, it's just as (if not more) important to look at wear layer thickness as plank thickness.

 
 
 
 

SPC Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring vs. WPC Flooring

 

So if SPC Rigid Core and WPC are both waterproof vinyl flooring options, what's the difference? And why would you pick rigid core over WPC? 

The meat of both WPC flooring and rigid core flooring is the waterproof core. In WPC flooring, this is made from wood plastic composite, while with SPC, it is made from stone plastic composite. The stone is stiffer, sturdier and less resilient. 

Imagine WPC flooring as your plush, luxurious home carpet. It's soft and wonderful, but it's not as durable or easy to maintain as a low-pile commercial carpet. 

SPC rigid core is this commercial carpet. The planks/tiles are thinner, less giving under foot and ultra-sturdy and durable. 

It's no surprise then that SPC rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is traditionally used for high-traffic commercial spaces. It is unbending unlike traditional vinyl and virtually indestructible. 

Structurally, the WPC core contains added foaming agent to increase resilience and comfort. The SPC has no foam added, giving it a stronger, more robust core. 

When it comes to scratches, both SPC and WPC are dependent on the wear layer. You'll find options from 0.2mm 8MIL all the way to 0.5mm+ 20MIL+. The thicker the wear layer, the better your floor will hold up. 

As far as dents from heavy furniture, SPC rigid core is less susceptible to this than WPC flooring due to its, well, rigid core. That's what makes it great for commercial environments. No matter how much traffic you see, SPC rigid core can take it.
 
 
 
 

Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring Thickness Options

 

This is where things get really different. With rigid core, the thickness of your vinyl really doesn't matter. 

Everything you've ever read about vinyl flooring says "thicker = better". And that has been true for a long, long time. 

But! Now, the flooring manufacturers have thrown us for a loop creating an ultra-thin, super-durable option. Rigid core luxury vinyl planks and tiles are specially manufactured to be ultra-thin and light, usually measuring no thicker than 6mm. 

It's funny because you look at the flooring and it looks thin and flimsy and you think "No way that's the most durable vinyl flooring option on the market!" But, it is! Just try giving it a bend. It doesn't matter how strong you are; that SPC core is stronger. 

Popular rigid core luxury vinyl thickness options include: 
 

• 4mm 5mm 6mm 

 
 
 
 

Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring Wear Layer Options

 

The wear layer is the top surface of your rigid core vinyl flooring. Like I said earlier, the wear layer is like the bodyguard for your floor. If your options were a scrawny little thing, or a big, bulky, tough and ready-for-battle bodyguard, obviously you'd want the latter. 

While no bodyguard (wear layer) is perfect, there are a wide range and great options for every use and price point. Pretty simply put, thicker = better. Yes; for wear layers, this is still true. 

The thicker the wear layer (or, the higher the MIL number), the more resistant your floor will be to scratching and scarring. Which wear layer do you need? Well, let's take a look at our options. 
 

• 0.3mm 12MIL: Although it's the lowest option in rigid core,0.3mm 12MIL is still pretty thick - definitely thick enough for any home and for less busy commercial areas.
• 0.5mm 20MIL: This is the most common wear layer for commercial environments.
• 0.55mm 22MIL: The best of the best. 0.55mm 22MIL is as scratch-resistant as vinyl flooring gets, specially designed to hold up in the most intense commercial environments.

 
 
 
 

Pros of Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring

• It's 100% waterproof: I mean, this is the trademark of both rigid core and WPC vinyl. It's perfect for business owners, pets and water-prone areas.
• Perfect for imperfect subfloors: This is the other trademark of rigid core luxury vinyl flooring. All WPC vinyl is great for uneven subfloors, but rigid core is specially designed for these types of situations, engineered to be installed over any existing hard surface, including tile.
• Ultra-durable: SPC vinyl flooring is the toughest, most durable vinyl flooring option on the market.
• Realistic wood and stone looks: Seriously, vinyl is changing. Rapidly. The top-end vinyl floors mimic natural materials better than ever before. SPC vinyl is the best of the best, which means the looks are usually incredibly convincing and beautiful.
• Zero maintenance: All you need is the occasional vacuum and damp mop to keep your floor looking fabulous.
• Kiss the phthalates goodbye: Many of our SPC flooring options are phthalate-free. Just check the product highlights to be sure.
• No expansion/contraction: One big worry for traditional wood flooring is expansion and contraction causing shifting or buckling in the floor. Rigid core does not expand or contract, even when moisture is present.
• Easy, DIY installation: Rigid core luxury vinyl tiles and planks are easy to install yourself with most options interlocking and floating over your existing surface.
• Sound absorbent: The SPC core of rigid core luxury vinyl flooring helps absorb sound, making it great for second story businesses.
• Extra warmth:Rigid core is known for providing extra warmth, especially compared to cold ceramic tile.

 
 
 
 

Cons of Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring

• Less comfortable underfoot than WPC: Manufacturers designed rigid core to be sturdy, not comfortable. That's why it's so popular in commercial environments.
• Price: SPC flooring comes with a lot of bells and whistles and the price can reflect that. Although, as more and more companies develop their own rigid core lines, we are starting to see prices drop and become more affordable. Also, it's still less expensive than solid hardwood with way less maintenance.

 
 
 
 

Where Should You Use Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring?

While rigid core is typically sold as a commercial flooring option, it's really a great choice just about anywhere you need durable, waterproof flooring. Popular applications include: 
 

• Commercial & high-traffic areas: Particularly, commercial kitchens and bathrooms that see a lot of traffic and need a waterproof floor. It's also extremely popular in grocery stores and other environments where spills happen frequently.
• Kitchens: If you're like me and your kitchen sees lots of traffic, you might consider going the SPC rigid core route. You can always purchase an anti-fatigue mat to place over the areas you stand the most for added comfort.
• Bathrooms: Because of its waterproof capabilities, rigid core luxury vinyl flooring is a great option for providing a gorgeous, realistic wood or stone look in your bathroom.
• Basements: Basements are prone to flood and water damage so waterproof rigid core flooring is a great option. Additionally, you typically don't spend as much time standing in a basement so the lower resiliency isn't a big drawback.
